The purple ethos

We're proud to say that we're REAL hoteliers. Not janitors managing a building full of bedrooms. We care and uphold the traditions of hospitality and we apply them to the low cost sector, where you don’t need to think too much about whether you can afford to stay for the night.

We're staffed by REAL people
who got hired because they are hospitable (there's a big idea, hospitable people in the hospitality business). Usually we're spot on the job we're there to do (89% of our guests say we're friendly & welcoming, the other 11% must have come on a bad day) and sometimes we get it wrong - sometimes really wrong but not often. When that happens our 100% service guarantee kicks in. If you are not 100% satisfied with us and we can't put right the cause of your dissatisfaction within a reasonable period, say 1 hour, we'll refund the cost of that component of your stay. You can't get more real than that.

We serve REAL British food & drink (like chicken tikka masala and steak frites) in our restaurants and bars, not mucked about with, drizzled, seared and otherwise incomprehensible stuff that chefs like and everybody else doesn't understand.

Real Deal with Purple

A purplehotel is designed to give you everything that you need and nothing that you don’t.

purplehotel bedrooms are spacious. Not as big as Monaco or Lichtenstein, but big enough for you to walk around the bed without turning sideways whilst carrying a a suitbag, laptop and iPod. The beds are large, too, with squishy duvets you can get lost under and good firm pillows that don’t feel like boards or beanbags, but – well, like good firm pillows! We’ve got the tech side covered too. Climate controls in the room, including a/c. Wifi broadband throughout – and wired in the rooms as well, if you’re a ‘secret squirrel’ type. Then there’s a walk-in power shower that’ll clean your body and wash away the cobwebs. It’s even got a seat, if it all gets to be too much, or just to put your bits and bobs on.

Downstairs the lobby is the café-bar. We serve great breakfast and dinner, with a cut-down menu for lunch and Lavazza coffee all day. There’s terrific music, with a big screen for news and sports.

cool, functional, inexpensive
