The Red Victorian is such a special place. I knew since I booked it that it would be something magical, and I wasn't disappointed. It is an old building, which means it's a bit chilly in the winter and needs repairs here and there, but it is beautifully done, with great attention to detail and plenty of quirky things to discover around every corner. The décor is outstanding. The common space downstairs is a fantastic place to relax and socialise, with a very special atmosphere. My favourite things there are the grand piano and the guitar that are available for everyone to use. Everything was usually very clean and tidy, and there was plenty of food (mostly breakfast) and spices/condiments for people to use. My room (Gigi's Room) was very nice and the bed was incredibly comfortable - and I've heard from other guests that this is the case for all beds. The Red Vic is a truly inspiring place, and I met really interesting people who have now become friends. We had a couple of spontaneous music parties that were so much fun! David, one of the hosts, was always around and on top of things. He was really quick to solve any problems that came up. To sum up, The Red Vic is a great place to stay: great atmosphere, interesting people, a space to relax and express yourself, a source of inspiration, and loads of weird/eclectic/quirky things to discover. Come with an open mind and prepared to learn and grow :)
