This is madness. Rooms at Lost Property - 145 in number - cost over £200 without breakfast and most cost around £400. Many of these rooms, regardless of category, have frosted windows.
No natural light, made worse by the fact that I'm staying on the ground floor floor.

"I'm so sorry but they finish at 9pm," she said.
While inspecting my spooky £200 basement room — which find it equipped for people with reduced mobility — I ask to see the manager on duty.
'I like the room, actually,' says her.
"Can I cancel and go somewhere else?", I ask.
'It will not be possible because you have exceeded the deadline for cancellations.'
