Very friendly hotel in fantastic location. We travelled with our dog and were welcome in all areas of the hotel, a refreshing change which made our stay super relaxing. Staff very thoughtful, nice bar area and gluten-free food options also a big bonus. Room was well appointed and quiet. Very happy we chose this hotel, excellent value for money and only a short tube ride from central London.

Absolutely great hotel, great value for the price and had a beautiful view of the dock. There were robes in the room and nice bottled water, have to mention how super clean it was- this hotel really did all the little things right to make it a lovely stay. I wasn’t expecting the level of greatness we got as it was a budget hotel but ticked all the boxes!!
