Great stay, such a comfortable bed.

My husband and I booked a 1 night stay as we were watching a comedian at O2 Apollo. It was a very direct, simple 20min walk to the venue. Being right on the canal was a beautiful setting. We stayed on a Thursday eve and it was busy, but the noise was not heard in our room, which was fab! Bed was so comfortable. A very compact room, but had everything we needed (we stayed in a cozy kingsize). The welcome drink of prosecco was a great touch too. Loved the minibar option too (we did not purchase, but appreciated the option nonetheless).

Weekend stay

Lovely hotel with a very comfortable bed and pillows, only issue was with the electric windows in room, only two of them worked so was very warm a stuffy. There is heating/air conditioning but doesn’t let you go below 17 degrees so wasn’t working too well with it being a hot day. Was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was with it being on such a busy street on a Saturday night. Would definitely stay again with it being in such a great location and easy cheep parking in the area as well.

Lovely hotel, absolutely brilliant location. We received a lovely welcome and told about the room. The room itself was fabulous, well decorated and a pleasant place to spend time. The TV was huge, and the bed was extremely comfortable. well stocked mini bar, an Illy Nespresso style machine and great views made the stay even better. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Velvet to anyone looking for a great hotel within walking distance of the bets bits of the city.
