常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the breakfast worth £35?
It's a massive spread with honeycomb from the roof bees, but £35 is steep. Get it included in your rate or walk to a local cafe.
Can I open the windows?
No, they are sealed floor-to-ceiling panes for safety and soundproofing.
Is it good for families?
Surprisingly yes. They offer connecting rooms, kids' menus, and 'Paddington Bear' welcome treats.
How is the gym?
Open 24/7 and well-equipped with Technogym gear. Better than most hotel gyms, but no pool.
Is Nipa Thai actually good?
Yes. It holds a 'Thai Select' award and has an all-female kitchen. It's not just 'hotel food', it's a destination.
Does the tube noise shake the rooms?
No. The station is below, but the tower is well-insulated. You won't feel the rumble on upper floors.
内部人士建议
- ✨
The hotel featured in the 1969 film 'The Italian Job' – ask the concierge for the story.
- ✨
Order the 'Phad Kra Prao Pla' (Crispy Sea Bass) at Nipa Thai; it's the insider favorite.
- ✨
The 'back door' leads directly to a quieter street if you want to avoid the main lobby bustle.
