Hello beautiful peoplee!

I've reached 3400 views on my blog weeheey hehe. Not much to some I know but do know that I appreciate it <3

It has been ageees since I last wrote haha. Writer's block ooops.
Well, I'm back now!

A bit of update of my life if you're interested... haha.
I'm on my summer break right now weeeheeey. It has been a month actually. But I was so busy during those times that I didn't get to actually fully rest.

Anywaaaay, I just got back from my summer holiday! Back in the UK now :-)
I love going on hols but there's no where like home which is Malaysia and the UK for now. It's just sooo good to be back. I went to Austria (Salzburg & Vienna), Greece (Athens & Santorini) & Hungary (Budapest). I'll blog about it later when I feel like it hehe.

For this post, I will list down my favourite hotels in London. I love London and I'm always there. Unfortunately, I do not have a house in London, so I had to stay at hotels.

Note: I took pictures of the hotel for fun, which explains the bad quality of some of the photos. I didn't expect to be writing a blog about them or even post a picture of them. So, mind me yeah :) My pictures definitely won't do these hotels justice, but I'll link the hotel website so you could see better pictures of them.

2) DoubleTree by Hilton Tower of London
This hotel was another fav of mine. But I just checked their website, and they have refurbished the suites?? We stayed here in their suite last time and the new pictures of the suite was not the same as the one we stayed in. Shame. I liked it a lot as it was so spacious and it had Mac mini and also an iMac. The iMac was for the bedroom and the Mac mini was for the living room. It also had a really nice sound system. We could just put the music on loudly as the room was soundproofed. Also, this hotel was close to the tower bridge. I remembered us walking there at night just to have a look at the tower bridge at night. It was just like a 5 minutes walk or so.


3) Hilton London Metropole
This hotel is located at Edgware Road. If you're not familiar with London, Edgware Road is like super close to Oxford Street which screams SHOOOPPPINGGG. We actually stayed here during christmas and boxing day because we wanted to shop and we wanted to stay somewhere close to Oxford Street. At this point, I was a Selfridges person over Harrods. So, it made more sense to stay somwhere close to Oxford Street. However, this hotel is like at the end of Edgware Road so I wouldn't say that it's really close to Oxford Street. By car, yes but if you were to walk like us, it was quite a walk with all those shopping bags. I'm not complaining tho as I was fine with walking but if this might bother you, then it's something for you to consider about. We stayed in their King Suite it was amaaazing.


4) Hilton London Canary Wharf
We stayed here when we were in London to watch One Direction's Take Me Home tour. I told dad that I wanted to stay somewhere that's close to the venue which was the o2 so we decided to stay here. We stayed at their Executive Suite and I have to say that their executive lounge is the best lounge that I've ever been to. Great fooood and ambience. We loved it so much. The suite was like an open large studio but there's sort of like a wall separating the bedroom and the living room. There were 2 TV's. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. ANDD can I just say that they had like the biggest King bed that I've ever slept on haha. It honestly could fit like 4 people sleeping on it. It's close to the O2 arena which is good if you're watching a gig.


5) Royal Garden Hotel
This hotel is located at Kensington High Street. Again, SHOOOPPINGG. hahaha. It's close to Harrods, which is a good thing. We've stayed at two different rooms here. The queen room and the garden room. I loved the garden room. It had an amazing view of Kensington High Street. However, I hated the queen room. It's sooo small and I felt like I was suffocating. Mind you that this is a 5* hotel and that room costs like £300 per night. For a room that small, it's not worth the money at all. You could stay in a twin room at Hilton for 2 nights for that price. But, the garden room was nice and spacious.


6) Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London
If you've got roughly £300  to splurge on a hotel per night during summer then this hotel is worth splurging for. It is SUPER CLOSE to Big Ben, the House of Parliament and the London Eye. You can even see Big Ben from the hotel itself. There's like a place at the lobby with seats for you to just sit and chill and just admire the view. Amazing view really. When we were there, we walked to Big Ben during midnight because why not hahaha. It's not everyday that you could just walk to Big Ben. The room's alright. It's pretty much the same as other top hotels I reckon.

7) Threadneedles Autograph Collection by Marriott, A Marriott Luxury & Lifestyle Hotel
Another beautiful hotel. Marriott has this Autograph Collection where a particular hotel has its unique feature. This particular hotel features a stained glass dome dating back to 1856. It looked really nice in real life. I loved this hotel because it didn't have many people when I was there and it was such a quite place. And....... there's burger & lobster opposite of this hotel hahaha.


8) Park Plaza Hotel Victoria
Nothing much about this hotel but the location actually haha. It's close to Victoria Train station / underground. Room's alright. Pretty much the same as other hotels.

I'd leave that to my top 8 fav hotels then haha. It'd be such a long list to list all the hotels that I've stayed in London.

Worst hotel?
Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5
For a Thistle hotel, you'd expect so much better. The building itself looked old. The lobby and restaurant were so cold. They for sure didn't put any heater on and it was during winter!! It got too cold for us in our room and the only heating they had was from the air conditioning. We asked if they had any portable heaters but they didn't have any. Shame. We would never stay here again.

My dream hotels that I would like to stay in the future?
1) Hilton London on Park Lane
2) The Waldorf Hilton
3) Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard

Well, that's all from me for now. You'll see me soon enough as I'm super free as a bird right now cause I'm on hols haha. Hope this post gave you an idea on where to stay in London :)
