In the UK, a former toilet has been transformed into a boutique hotel: what it looks like inside.

Transforming an Old Toilet into a Hotel

According to The Sun: Hotels located in former prisons or old banks are known, but now you can stay in a converted block of toilets. Located beneath the busy St. Giles street in Oxford, this hotel offers stylish accommodation with an unusual history.

Named 'The Netty' (a Geordie term for a toilet), this former Victorian public toilet has now become an aparthotel with two rooms accessible via stairs from the street. The interiors are so beautiful that it's hard to believe that there used to be toilets and sinks here, and the walls are adorned with vintage floral patterns.

Functionality and Style

Although the rooms are underground, they are well-lit thanks to the frosted glass on the sidewalk. The first bedroom is decorated in forest green and bright red, with luxurious floral tapestries hanging from the ceiling. Despite its history, the apartments still have toilets.

“I would say it's one of the strangest places to stay in Oxford. We know it's not for everyone, but it's a really lovely experience if you're up for it,” said hotel manager Ana Piñeiro.

Behind the red doors awaits guests a bright blue Victorian toilet. The tiled floor has also been preserved from the original toilet. The second room features an urban color scheme in shades of pink and green.

The Toilet's History and Accessibility

According to the BBC, the men's toilets opened their doors in 1895, but closed in 2008 due to safety issues. The place was put up for sale in 2014 for 65 thousand pounds and was purchased by Gwyn Harris-Jones but remained unchanged for 11 years until renovation works began.

During the renovation, many interesting artifacts were found, including large bones, horns, and ceramic items. The transformation of the toilet has become a prime example of a creative approach to repurposing old objects.

Entertainment in Oxford

For those choosing to stay in the new 'toilet' hotel, Oxford offers plenty of entertaining activities. The city is famous for its university and historical tours with student guides.

Additionally, Oxford is home to the Ashmolean Museum - the oldest public museum in Britain, with a large collection of artifacts and free admission.

Water strolls along the university routes are also popular among tourists. Tickets cost about 19 pounds per person.

Oxford is known for its unique and unusual hotels, including old forts and other original places to stay.
