The hotel is very close to the train station making it easy to get into central London. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in need of decoration but this is purely cosmetic and did not dampen our stay.

What a lovely hotel with such welcoming and friendly staff! Excellent location being so close to the DLR and overground. Very quiet and well sound proofed inside. Had a great night’s sleep. The room had lovely interiors and thought out decor - bed comfy, nice pillows and a powerful shower. Breakfast was a nice addition and the filter coffee was sublime! Only area can think of improvement would be an additional towel in the room and some more vegan options at breakfast, although there was enough for me to enjoy! Thank you Dockside

A place to book when everywhere else is full or ridiculously expensive. Functional low end hotel. Room was clean, water was hot, staff were helpful, breakfast was adequate. Pretty basic, small rooms. Not much going on in neighborhood.

Reception was friendly, lady serving breakfast was really helpful and friendly too. Breakfast was nice with option of beans, egg and sausage available as part of the buffet style breakfast. The location was really good. I had a friend staying in a more expensive hotel near St Paul's Cathedral but needed somewhere cheaper. Shadwell station was just around the corner, I got on there and off at Bank tube station (tube took 3:minutes) and then had a brisk 10 minute walk to St Paul's Cathedral. For under £100 you will struggle to find better within such a short distance of central London. I loved it there and intend to return.

The smell of sewer was constant and sometimes overwhelming. The staff sprayed the bathroom with air freshener which helped for all of about 15 minutes. Windows were opened and the fan was always on, yet, the foul smell persisted. Will NOT consider staying at this hotel ever again!

I stayed one night at the hotel. For the price and location near the DLR it is a great option. I paid £55 for one night which is about right. Anything more then I think you would start to question things as it is all very basic. Check in was quick and easy. Breakfast was included in my stay but I left before it opened so cannot comment on that. Will stay again if I can get a deal for around the same price.

Not the greatest 3 star hotel. The room was basic. Bed was comfortable and clean. Upon returning to my room on Sunday after running a half marathon, a member of staff snapped at me about ringing the buzzer 3 times to open the door. I only rang it 3 times because I was unsure whether anyone was there to open it. That did not stop them giving me a lesson on doorbell etiquette. It was the last thing I needed after finishing a half marathon.
