The hotel was located well and had some beautiful restaurants in walking distance. The rooms are a little dated and the shower in our room was broken, kept falling down off the holder. But the staff were lovely, and overall we had a lovely stay.

Perfect stay, cannot fault it. Our room was absolutely huge with all the amenities you could ask for. Lovely view too. Parking is really easy and convenient and I think for central London it’s great value. We always stay in Canary Wharf but first time at this hotel and we have already booked to return in a couple of months.

Annoymous

Was easy to find, brilliant location. The corridors inside are a little bit of a maze, however we got a free upgrade so the room was absolutely wonderful! Very spacious and appreciated the fan in the room to help cool us down.

They have more rooms / guests than their breakfast lounge could accommodate. Therefore there are often long queues in front of the breakfast lounge and guests waiting in the queue for long time. Besides

Stayed in an economy room in the sub basement. Room was fine. Wifi was terrible and got no cell service down there, so working online proved to be impossible during my stay. Hotel was very nice, but the separate elevator for those of us down in steerage was a bit demeaning, and connectivity was awful. Probably better if you’re in one of their rooms above ground.

Good - but could be better

For London, it’s very cheap, and convenient to the DLR and the Tube. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spotlessly clean, but there was some wear and tear, especially in the bathroom. A lick of pain would get it an extra star.
