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.
Stayed two nights visiting London for a show, the hotel is a two minute walk from Shadwell DLR so very convenient.
Breakfast was fine each morning, something for everyone.
Amazing and the staff/manager was so helpful and lovely . The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly. The bathroom was lovely with a good size shower.

In a part of London that didnt ooze safety around. Appreciate its London but wish we had paid the extra £20 for a more reputable hotel. The 2 single beds were not comfortable.
Didnt get any comfort from the hotel so left without even trying the breakfast.

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.
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
We had planned a stay for 2 nights at the property. Upon checking in to our room, there was an extremely unpleasant smell - my friend described it as "smelling like death". We also saw a google review for bed bugs 2 days prior and decided we didn't want to risk it and left to stay elsewhere. Photos appear way nicer than the actual rooms.
Would not recommend staying here until they clean up their rooms.
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.

Dockside - good value for the money
For the money (£117) this hotel did what we needed for the night. 5 mins from DLR & overground. Not really a tourist area & some would dubious about staying in this area, but hey we wanted a cheap hotel (father & son) , out drinking both days ,watching Sunderland at Wembley & Brighton at Spurs ⚽️❤️⚽️💙 The hotel allowed us to leave our overnight bag with them on both days, thanks for that 😁

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!
Good thing is the location is good. Close to tube . 2 min walk.
Front disk staff terrible! No customer service at all! They dont even look at u when they talk ! No greeting or welcoming at all ! Zero star!
Bed is not comfy and missing the daily housekeeping service even u tell them to do so! staff u can tell that they dont wanna be there! I do not recommend this hotel! Other plenty choices in the area !
The guy at reception was too rude. The room was bad. The area.is not nice. Breakfast was not good. The stairs were too noisy. And the guy ( from india, i guess) , asked me not walk to see my my friend in other level. If they are not happy to recieve turists, they shoud close the hotel.
Clean and quite. Decent breakfast.
Very close to Shadwell DLR station.

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.
This is my 3rd visit here the rooms are more than fine for the amount of money they charge. They are clean and fine to go to sleep. My room had coffee and tea and soap with shower gel. Staff was nice. Breakfast is ok yet again for the money this is a bonus
