Cherry Court Hotel London

When the bus turned into London city, i just "waaaaaaaaa....." Very Harry Potter feel. Especially the houses.I was like watching a real life movie show.
We reached Victoria Coach Station at about 6am. However our hotel only open at 7am. So what we can do was sat at the small "mamak" to have our first breakfast in London. I bought a London Map GBP1.99 (proven is worth buying as this map is really useful), a coffee GBP1.07 and muffin GBP1.10.
Sky became brighter and brighter. We decided to walk and look for our hotel. Wow, it was just 2 min away from coach station, yeah! This cherry court hotel charge GBP55 per room per night for 2 pax. It will provide a fruits basket every morning. We stay for 2 nights so is GBP 55 per person for 2 nights.
See, typical england houses ya. We were given 2 keys upon check in. 1 for the main door (as is not 24hour reception) another one is the room key.
The location of this hotel was superb! 2 min walked to Victoria metro and coach station. In another word, you can go wherever place from this station. It also a walking distance to Buckingham Palace.
The only thing not really satisfied us was the room too small. For triple sharing room was very comfy but not for the double share.(twin share -2 bed is more expensive than 1 double bed in some hotel). After put in our luggage, it only left a small space which allow 4 people standing. Just imagine! They were other hotels which charges a little bit cheaper than Cherry Court. But i think the condition was horror. I need to mention again here - Do not believe the photo from hotel website itself, go to tripadvisor and had a look on the photo from tourist. It always tell you the truth.
In fact, this hotel received a good feedback from its guest. So if you can bared with the narrow space, is really a good choice. http://www.cherrycourthotel.co.uk/index.html.

Backpacker tips no 6 : I prefer do more reference on other tourist blog or comment rather than search the hotel directly from booking.com kind of website. Some hotel they do not appear in the list when you do searching.Then verify it again in tripadvisor.com.
After taking a bath, we were prepared for our London 自由行!
