LEGO 41684 Friends Heartlake City Grand Hotel

The kit that was requested and it was appreciated and played with.

Arrived on time and well packaged.its Lego always great quality but the price to match

Lots to put together, instructions are easy to follow but kept my daughter (11) very busy and she loved building it

My goddaughter loved this and it is giving hours of fun. The price was much cheaper than High Street stores so it fit perfectly within the budget

This set was bought for the kids and is one they saved up for. It come up with a good reduction in price and so they bought it and have had a good time playing with it. The set also looks good on the shelf as well and you can customise the time of the year it is with some cosmetic features being changeable to show winter of autumn or summer which, while a nice feature, just adds a lot of little extra bits that get lost around the house until I stand on them. You only get four Lego dolls which isn’t much for a £90 set and I would have liked a pianist to go with the great piano (a fantastic mini build that I love).The front looks good and the revolving doors are great. Inside you get three bedrooms, a lounge for the piano and a reception. The floor space is good for playing as well as there is space to put the dolls, there are also lots of doors to open which is always exciting.The set comes with several woodland creatures and a dog so you do get some of those nice animal pieces.Durability is high: during several play sessions I wasn’t having to rebuild the hotel much. The little extra even hold up quite well to play, at least in the play session my kids have. The flags do keep coming off though but they are decorative anyway.Playability is high: the children loved it. They could play hotels (as intended) or could just use it as a generic building as well. The only play features are doors but the revolving door is fun.Affordability is low: at full price there any better sets to get (As I’ve said before, Ninjago is often well priced) but it regularly comes down in price and I got it for around £50 (a much more suitable price). Even for Lego it seems quite high, but it is quite a large set.Displayability is high: it looks good and is relatively thin compared to other bigger Friends sets. The floor space is pretty much a rectangle which means it is easier to display on a shared shelf; the fact it looks nice helps with this.Buildability is medium: some fun builds a and I liked building the rotating doors but nothing too fancy or interesting. It isn’t particularly difficult to build but it is big and so younger children may grow bored. There are some fiddly bits as well but nothing too bad.Overall: I like it and the kids like it. I like the piano build and think the keyboard brick is great. I like the brick colour (especially the roof) and love the Dr Strange like circular windows (in fact the roof is my favourite part of the build). The kids really enjoyed it and it didn’t keep falling apart meaning I didn’t have to keep rebuilding it. If you can find it at a reduction then I think it is an ok set to get - not an essential set but one to pick up if you like the Friends line or like the look of it.

Hours of fun putting this together with my 10 year old. It's smaller than you imagine, but still a great set with lots of playability.

Bought for a birthday present. My granddaughter loved it and completed it very quickly.

No dislike just great to play with my granddaughter.
