We splashed out on this hotel, and paid a little more then we would have liked so we were expecting great things.
Its about 15mins walk from the nearest subway station, but the area is gorgeous, really nice lake and lots of restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops, etc.
The hotel has three floors (we asked to be on the third in checkin) and we had a nice view of the lake.. but i think from the 1st or 2nd floors view would not be great as there is a small (1floor) building and carpark between the lake and the hotel.
The room was very modern, with nice lighting and the shower was lovely, really big and nice shower head. I have no complaints with the room, apart from the only mirror is in the bathroom. TV is all Chinese channels apart from english news and sport. no movies sadly.
The breakfast was disappointing (really glad we didn't have to pay extra for it) all that is offered is Cereal, toast, coffee and juice.. hard boiled eggs were offered on one of the days. Apparently the hotel offers coffee, juice and cookies between 3-5pm, but we were never in the hotel at this time to see.
I used the dry cleaning service and it cost me 2.70GBP +15% tax for one pair of shorts, which i think is a little expensive? although i dont usually use this service so have nothing to compare.
Overall, a very nice hotel and great location, but a little over our normal budget.
