Every room at this newish designer hotel comes with earplugs, vodka, wine and Berocca – so you know what to expect (light sleepers, beware). Take your pick from well-appointed and elegant Mod Pods (single bed on a couch), Punk Bunks (yup, bunk beds) or deluxe doubles (SupeRooms or Hi-Fis) and suites. The more expensive rooms come with Netflix and a turntable.

The hotel deliberately advertises as an upmarket party hotel that borrows its ethos (if not its look) from the Ace Hotel in New York and the Hoxton in London: sandwiched between two of the most popular nightclubs in town the rooms can get very noisy indeed, especially those on the 1st floor. The top floor is home to Sophie's, a brasserie that turns into a popular bar after 11pm.

It has discounted parking arrangements with a car park that is a five-minute walk away.
