Cat Hotel Reviews
Brickset
“This is a delightful set. The cats are adorable, the minidolls are great, and the building has some great details. This cat hotel has just about everything that a LEGO feline would need, and there is plenty of play value with the removable elements, and all the activities... More for the cats to do, both inside and out. Kudos to the designer for a charming set at a reasonable price.”

“It feels more like a daycare centre for cats as opposed to a hotel, but it is still a great little set. It features a few decent elements some of which are only found in this set and other which are only found in other sets. It would have been nice if Ollie was a unique... More version, especially as some of the other characters have multiple outfits across sets. As cute as the cats are, the Friends animals are far too cartooney for me.”
