Bene ed essenziale per 1 notte.
Pros:

Per le nostre esigenze la posizione era ideale cobsiderato che dovevamo raggiungere gli Studios di Harry Potter pertanto attaccato alla stazione dove dove c'era la navetta diretta per gli Studios. Hotel essenziale...letti comodi e stanza molto pulita.

Cons:

Colazione Un po' scarsa e con pochissima scelta dolce.
Prezzo un po alto rispetto alla tipologia di hotel e alla posizione periferica rispetto a Londra. Per far capire meglio quasi in centro a Londra con hotel 4 stelle abbiamo speso meno con camera più grande e più lussuosa.

Perfekt für Familien
Pros:

Wir hatten das Hotel zur Besichtigung der Harry Potter Studios gebucht. Die Lage ist perfekt, das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir konnten ohne Weiteres unsere Koffer den Tag über deponieren.

Das Frühstück war mittelmäßig; der Kaffee gar nicht gut (leider)!
