Stylotel claims to be as far away as possible from being a conventional hotel. In contrast, it's an inventive accommodation concept for people who are bored of bland decor and standard service. It strives to create an exclusive yet friendly atmosphere, while offering a world-class budget hotel service in contemporary surroundings. It is built within two ninteenth century London town houses, and combines cutting-edge modern design in the interior with the historic architecture of its exterior. Its recently refurbished environment is designed to meet the requirements of today's discerning traveller, with a range of small yet comfortable 'stylorooms' for between one and four people. A full English buffet breakfast is included in the price, taken in the (of course) stylish breakfast room.
Price examples (January 2008)
If you're a singleton traveller, this hotel doesn't quite squeeze into the £50 budget with a single styloroom costing £52. However, it's pretty good value if you're staying with others: -
Double or twin styloroom: £80.00
Triple styloroom: £95.00
Tetra or quatro styloroom: £110.00
Why is it a good choice for a budget traveller?
If you're looking for something contemporary and a little unusual but don't want to break the bank, Stylotel should tick all the boxes. We're not quite sure what the strapline 'not just a hotel, but a machine for living in' means, but we guess it aludes to the ultra-modern feel of the place. Each styloroom has a range of refined interior design features such as ceiling to floor mirrors, upholstered headboards, aluminum wall coverings and hard wood maple effect flooring. And of course, you also get all modern amenities too - satellite TV, modem port and sound proofing throughout to name just a few. Not to be outdone on location, it's right near Paddington station with easy access to both Heathrow and the main attractions.
