Frommer's "Maybe too close to the Red Light District for some people's taste, and on a slightly seedy street, the Winston is a step up from grungy and has a hang-loose, alternative rep." Full review
Lonely Planet "Most rooms are 'art' rooms: local artists were given free rein, with results from super-edgy (entirely stainless steel) and playful to questionably raunchy." Full review
Rough Guide "Part of the St Christopher’s Inns chain, this self-consciously young and cool hotel has funky rooms decorated with crazy art, and a busy ground-floor bar that has regular live music."

The Telegraph7.0
"Hip, high-energy, with a popular bar and club attached, and very much part of the red-light district: this is a place to party, not for early nights or a quiet break." Full review
