Welcome to the start of a spooky new series just in time for Halloween. It follows the fortunes of a London family who take over the running of an old hotel.

So how would you feel about spending your first night in a reputedly haunted hotel? Would you be excited – or just a bit frightened? Listen on to find out!

Our spooky series continues. The Dutch Hotel is close to opening, and it’s time for some publicity photos and video. Will the ghosts draw in or scare away the guests?

The Dutch Hotel is opening on New Year’s Eve. But many of the staff are off sick. Who could help out? The ghosts? And who are the ghosts anyway? Happy New Year from Storynory!

The Dutch Hotel in London is haunted – or is it? There are figures like ghosts who appear, including hotel staff from Victorian times, but they are more like time travellers. In this episode, the kids who live in the modern hotel – Nafsi and Yogi – travel back in time to meet some of the hotel staff of the past. They want to know the true story of the duel between the founders of the hotel, the Dutch twins.

Nafsi and Yogi live in London’s Dutch Hotel, where their father, Alan, is the manager. They have travelled to the past to witness a duel fought by the founders of the hotel, two Dutch brothers. Now they return to the present where the legend of the duel lives on. Zelda, the hotel’s owner, wants to make a documentary about the story. But is she interested in the truth?

The Dutch Hotel is getting ready for Halloween. The Jones family, who manage the hotel, have an even more important event – the arrival of Grandma from Cyprus. Her name is Eleni, and she is not short of opinions about everything. She also reveals some of Mum’s secrets (Mum’s name is Angeleki) and the kids, Nafsi and Yogi, want to learn more. Why was mum afraid of ghosts when she was young? And why is she so against all superstition now?�

Get in the mood for Halloween with a story from our spooky series, the Dutch Hotel. Every autumn, renowned historical novelist Angus MacPeabody works on his latest creation in Room 13, drawing inspiration from an old typewriter…. and perhaps from the ghosts of the hotel’s past.

A ghost is playing pranks on the hotel – some of them are funny but the trouble is, they are getting the hotel a bad name. Who is the mischievous ghost?
