Absolutely gorgeous Hotel. Very clean, amazing staff, wonderful breakfast.  trip said it was a queen bed, but it was kingsize!  We were 2 couples and they upgraded one of us so our rooms were close (free).  Can’t wait to go back 🥰

The worst hotel in the UK trip One morning, the ceiling of the room suddenly leaked. If we hadn't left late, I reasonably suspected that all our luggage would have been destroyed. Apart from this big problem, various details are completely inadequate. The door handle of the bathroom is a striped handle, and there is a lot of white foam from the decoration. I can understand the open shower in the bathroom, but this open bathroom is the kind that can make the whole bathroom full of water, which is very unreasonable. The cabinet has various scratches. It is said to be retro style, but it is really ugly and dirty. The room that leaked two days ago is still a street-facing room. The noise on the street can be heard clearly. All the beds are 1.5 meters, which is not consistent with the 1.8 meters mentioned by Ctrip. The walls in the corridor are so dirty that they are not even as good as student apartments. There are many other bad details like this. In short, this hotel is okay when you enter the lobby, but you find it is a shabby makeshift team when you enter the corridor. In the end, the manager refunded me 38% of the total room fee. It's really bad. The only advantage is that it is closer to the subway station.

So comfortable! Booked for several days in a row. The decoration can definitely capture the hearts of girls. Pink Christmas tree and light grass green room tones. It attracts me so much!

The room facilities are complete. The owner is very nice, a Chinese. The hotel is very new, and some rooms are still under renovation. There were some minor incidents in the middle, but the front desk solved them very well.

This hotel is new, so the rooms are clean, and there are facilities in the bathroom, which is very good. In addition, the location of the hotel is good, easy to access, and the environment is quiet.

The hotel is quite near to the underground, around 5 minutes walk. The room is neat and clean, while the staff are very nice.

The room is very good, the facilities are very new, but the rooms facing the street are a little noisy
