The hotel has four private twin-bed cabins (小木屋) and a romantic grotto (洞穴) with a double bed. A single night stay for two in a private cabin costs ₤350 while the price for two in the grotto is ₤550. And if you’re a single guest, you will have to pay the price of two, too. You can only book the hotel for a Saturday night through to Sunday morning and getting to your room is far from relaxing. You will have to complete a45-minute walk into the mountains and at the end you'll get a helmet, light, harness (安全带) and boots before going into the world's largest and deepest slate mine. The trip down into the mine includes ancient miner stairwells (楼梯井), old bridges and a scramble(攀爬). It takes about 60 minutes, and once you complete the trip, you'll arrive at a set of large steel doors. Welcome to Deep Sleep!
