"The hotel is right at the bridge exit, which you might easily miss if you're driving. The rooms are quite small, even smaller than a typical Hanting Inn in China, barely allowing a 28-inch suitcase to open. Breakfast options are limited, similar to Hanting Inns, just enough to fill you up.
I paid around 1000, which didn't feel like good value for money, as it's not particularly close to any attractions. The Crystal Palace is about 2 kilometers away, and then you'd need another half-hour walk to get near the train station. If you're visiting in the summer, I'd suggest looking for accommodation in the city center or by the river. If the price difference isn't too significant, staying in the central area is better; you can return to the hotel for a nap during the hot afternoon and then come out again in the evening, as the night views are quite nice.
There's an Auchan supermarket across from the hotel, and their roasted chicken is good – half a chicken for just over 4 euros, which is a real bargain."
