Perfect for our Trip!

The hotel was exactly what we needed exactly where we needed it! We were there for Comic-Con and it’s a great location for the Excel Centre (a three minute walk from the station) - it was very clean and had a straightforward check in and check out process. The door to the bathroom was a little stiff and was therefore quite loud but that didn’t bother us! We had a fridge, microwave, kettle and cutlery in our room and there is a Tesco express 2 minutes away, which was really handy!

The staff were super lovely and caring! Super quiet area and a nice bed to sleep in especially. Had a rough experience in the area nearby but thankfully where the property is situated it's alot safer! Definitely worth it and multiple supermarkets nearby is always a plus.

Convenient located

Great location for an overnight stay after attending an event. Very easy check in and check out process with a very helpful host. Rooms were clean and tidy and the kitchenette was equipped adequately for a short stay. Rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up due to wear and tear but this would not affect us staying here again.

The staff was very friendly and tended to my needs well, offering exceptional service. The food is also very good. One thing I does bother me a bit is that it would sometimes get kind of noisy outside at night and the window didn't block much of it. But other than that, great service with a dedicated staff.

Room Updates

The property itself was good however the room was indeed of repair and redecoration to bring it up to modern standards. Parts of the room needs re plastering the bathroom especially. Whilst functional the shower cubicle needs updating and the shower itself was poor and needs replacement.

Lovely pub with rooms

Lovely friendly pub/restaurant with great choice of beverage and food. Great location for events in London especially the o2 which is a 15min journey under the Blackwell tunnel. Really nice and helpful staff. Rooms a little dated but good enough for staying over a couple of nights. I was very happy to stay here.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was easy to find and the hosts were lovely. The room was clean and had everything I needed - I loved having a microwave and a fridge! The bed was really comfy and it was peaceful at night. The room was in need of a bit of TLC (some fresh paint on the walls) but it was clean and I was comfortable enough. I had dinner in the pub one night which was really nice. The pub is lovely has a nice wee beer garden. I would recommend this as a place to stay, especially if you want to be close to Canary Wharf but not in it!

Just a very dirty hotel. The bathroom and corridors were incredibly run down and felt damp. My bed had dirt in the sheets which I could not identify, as a result I found it difficult to get comfortable in the room.
