It looks fairly ordinary from the outside, but the name - Hotel Not Hotel - hints that on the inside it's going to be quirky. And it doesn't disappoint.

Every one of the 15 rooms is utterly individual, each one 'a work of art', the website proclaims. Guests can stay in a bizarre tram cart bedroom, a chamber behind a bookcase and even in a crow's nest up a ladder.

One of the most ornate is the 'Crisis Free Zone', which features a skillfully made arch carved from wood that guests step through to reach the beds.

Inspired by Transylvanian symbolism, the design will supposedly keep evil out. As the website says: 'That’s why creatures like vampires, ghosts, and bankers will never be able to enter.'

The colourful rooms push the boundaries of conventional hotel design and open onto an exhibition-like space instead of an anonymous environment. 

The accommodation comes with its own bar, of course, called Kevin Bacon.

The name was chosen, the website explains, because Kevin Bacon is an actor who 'gets the job done, with no pretensions' - and that's what the bar aims to do, too, 'whether it’s a morning coffee, a sunny afternoon beer or proper cocktails'. 

The unique hotel was designed by Collaboration-O, young designers who originated from the Eindhoven Design Academy, and Dutch artist Arno Coenen and his partner IRIS.

Rooms at Hotel Not Hotel are available from £50, with the option of renting out the venue for events.
