觀瀾湖無湖之行（二）MH Mall 觀瀾湖新城

在三天的行程中，觀瀾湖新城MH MALL算是一個來來回回飲食消費的重點地方。

今年北上消費的體驗比較多，對這些面積大到不知從何逛起的消費區多了點麻木。

購物區的設備跟環境不錯。一、二期中間的廣場有很大的空間，早上時間人流較少。

比起平日超冷清的紅山、有點冷清的歡樂海岸、靜得像鬼域的創新科、MH MALL 在中午時間也有一定人流，這點算是有點難得。

（人多又嫌迫要排除、人少又嫌靜餐廳食物唔新鮮，平又話老翻貴又話唔抵，有些香港人絕對是難服侍 - 以上純屬主觀意見。）

我沒有研究過入白鴿圈是否要收費。

觀瀾湖區的整體消費指數不低，但商場內無論衣食住行也有一些相對便宜的選擇。既有人均一兩百元的餐廳，亦有4-50元一個lunch set 的連鎖店，所以在這裏悠閑消費的本地人也隨處可見。

這個高達商場3樓的兒童區似乎很有趣，但對我倆小孩來說有點超齡。（此相片拍於星期天晚上，人流也較多。）

商場內很多小吃店，不想坐着吃的話買一個牛肉餅吃也是$9.9⋯⋯（此相片拍於星期一晚。）

其實我頗喜歡左邊吃牛雜右邊買衫的混雜配置，個人覺得太高檔的配置反而有點打擊消費意欲。

這家韓燒餐廳人均100元左右，國內餐廳最好的地方是「有專人幫你燒埋」。

我的家人海底撈FANS，太太話食野包埋GEL甲好抵喎。

想平平地吃碗麵亦可。

商場底層的大型超市。

真心覺得好大、好大…..

國內的大型商場當然也少不了星際城市‥‥‥

不過這間星際城市比關口附近的分店便宜，心水清的太太說關口的星際城市普通一局要三個代幣左右，這裏只需要兩個。計起來大概1-2元人民幣玩一局。

在星際城市最燒錢嘅的項目是夾公仔（要好好管制兩小的入錢速度）。

打機的話平平哋放任兩小去玩好了，我自己把握時間睇書。任他們玩一個多小時也花不上一百元。

（所以如果你在國內機舖見到一個怪人在星際城市裏面睇書嘅，那個人多數是小弟。）

運動公社那邊有的卡丁車，風評不錯但個人覺得138大元玩8分鐘太貴，所以沒有參予。商場內這個兒童賽車$58 六個圈，刺激程度當然不能與卡丁車相比，讓兩個小孩滿足下賽車體驗就好了。

「小姐，我也可以玩嗎？」

那位小姐打量了我一眼‥‥‥

「只限小童。」

賽車沒份兒也不要緊，大朋友在MH Mall其實也不愁寂寞。

溜冰場，之後打算去卡魯冰城，所以路過而已。

保齡球場內亦有街機遊戲。

個人頗喜歡反彈蹦床公園，所以之後會詳細分享下。

MH MALL 亦有戲院、按摩店（太太試過還覺得很好），不怕太消費的話其實要找娛樂絕不困難。

入夜的MH MALL，太太去了按摩，小孩要喝茶飲，我也來一杯AMERICANO。

商場對面便是Hard Rock

MH MALL 背後的是手藝工場，同學家長告訴我大約百來元製作一件作品，不過我家小孩興趣不太。（對親子功課一向有點恐懼的我更不用說。）

從酒店房間看出去可以看到整個MH Mall 一、二期的全貌。還可以看到商場頂樓的「天空之景」。不過「天空之景」要由地下乘天梯上去，不太順道的情況下一於「遠眺當去左」。

整體來說，這個商場都是是娛樂消費飲食集於一身的地方，但考慮到過關後比較遠的車程，對香港人來說也許有更近更方便的商場選擇。

不過以親子渡假為目的在這裏待上兩天一夜也是值得考慮的方案吧。

Hotel in Ikebukuro (Hotel Hisoca Ikebukuro)

Many travelers may have a question - which area is better to stay when traveling to Tokyo?

I have travelled to Tokyo several times. Shinjuku was the area that I stayed before. Meanwhile, I will say it is good enough to stay in hotels along JR Yamanote Line because there are many sightseeing along this line. In other word, Shinjuku, Ueno, Shibuya or even, Kanda.....

For my last trip in Tokyo - I stayed in the hotel nearby station Ikebukuro. It was a very good experience. and the hotel is highly recommended.

"I wonder if I can stay here for 2 more days!"

My daughter was reluctant to check out from Hotel Hisoca.

HOTEL HISOCA is indeed a hotel that is comfortable and convenient. In this article, I would also like to share my experience of staying here for 5 days.

Ikebukuro is a large station, nearby the eastern gate of this station, there are a lot of shopping and entertainment centers.

From Hisoca Ikebukuro to Harry Potter - 25 min

to Disneyland - 65 min

to Shinjuku - 22 min

to Narita Airport - around 80 min

Hotel Hisoca is located at the southwest station entrance, where is a relatively quiet area.

Therefore, you can enjoy the transportation advantage as it is 3 minutes walk from hotel to station, but you can also have a good shopping and travel experience within the same area.

It is opposite to the Metropolitan Shopping Mall. The hotel is not very eye-catching. It took me a while to find it when I first came here.

The station exit suggested by google map is "Metropolitan direction"

(I don't think it is a good guideline as it was the first time I came to this station and this hotel. how can I know where is METROPOLITIAN Gate?)

Finally I found the hotel was nearby "Southwest Exit".

Hotel Lobby

The hotel's service counter is not operate for 24 hours, but there is a self-service check-in machine in the lobby.

There are no amenities preserved in the hotel room. Instead, you have to take them at the cabinet in the hotel lobby according to your needs.

For seven floors, 2F is lounge and rooms on other floors. There is no swimming pool or gym room, but it is also good to go for a morning jog near the residences in the western Ikebukuro.

This is a room for 4 persons with plenty of space for a family of four. The space is enough for 4 adults but there is a disadvantage - no windows.

Below is the video of room walkthrough:

There are USBs and multi charging cable at the bedside, which can meet different kinds of mobile phones.

There is a sofa enough for four people and a small dining table.

Smart TV - My son loved this as he could watch youtube.

The facilities in room are very good.

Another highlight in Hisoca is its restroom.

Bathtub with the function of jacuzzi, next to this is a separate steam room. This was the first time I saw in downtown hotel.

The bathtub that we can mostly find in resort hotel.

This room will become a sauna room full of stream once I turned on the sauna function.

The video of bathroom:

2F Lounge - coffee and drinks provided

The boardgame in lounge room can be brought to room for entrainment.

I have been very comfortable here for these five days. If I want to say the bad things about this hotel, there are probably two points: one is that there is no fitness room, and another is that all the windows cannot be opened, that's all.

- The End of hotel experience sharing -
