We had a very enjoyable 2 night stay here. excellent value for money and great location for Canary Wharf. We had a ground floor accessible room which although small was perfectly suitable. An earlier reviewer was either unlucky or the hotel has improved its service for disabled guests. We didn't have 'a view' from our window. The staff were superb, friendly and helpful. The breakfast excellent and the public areas very pleasant for a short stay. The hotel has no parking, not even to drop off luggage, and frustratingly the trading estate car park was empty at weekends but for permit holders only. Parking is available at a price nearby however. Visitors need to be aware there is no tea or coffee in the rooms, which are small but adequate for a short stay. The hotel is quite mean with its towels so you have to ask for hand towels for example. Also the rooms aren't serviced daily.

“Lovely place”

It’s a lovely hotel . You have to pay for your luggage to be kept which is a pain as most London hotels don’t charge for this service .

It’s a lovely hotel . You have to pay for your luggage to be kept which is a pain as most London hotels don’t charge for this service . The staff were really friendly and we were happy with our stay . We were at the basement floor and it was lovely big enough for 2. We are coming back this year but should be on a floor with a window fingers crossed . The breakfast was continental like most places . I was hoping for a fry up but it didn’t matter ! It is similar to the eazy hotels where they change your sheets and towels every 4 days to help the environment! Now I think this is great but I do like clean towels every day but this is something f you can ask reception for . It was pretty quiet but you could hear on the basement floor when people were opening and closing their doors in the morning . It is clean however and isn’t far from the Elizabeth line . The only down side is there isn’t much around at the moment . This is due to more building being built etc . But I am sure this will change . I wasn’t a fan of the walk in the night to the Elizabeth line it was well lit up . But its cobble stone path so made it hard to walk. This isn’t the hotels fault at all ! We can’t wait to stay again . The bar is open 24/7 and reception .

“Mediocre experience”

My partner and I recently stayed here as we needed a hotel close to the O2 arena, where we were attending a concert. The positive points were the location, friendly staff and bar/reception orea, and the bar opening times - we were pleased that we could enjoy a drink in the bar/lobby area after returning from the concert. We were also impressed with the cleanliness. The things that we didn't like so much were the continental breakfast, as we would have liked hot food. We were disappointed that our room didn't have any toiletries other than soop (and soap in the shower that could also be used as shampoo). We would have liked tea/coffee making facilities and/or a bottle of water in the room. The main issue however was the size of our room. It was tiny and we found it claustrophobic. We believe it should have been a single room, and not a double. When we attended a concert at the O2 previously, we stayed at a budget hotel, nearby, which we felt was much better value for money. We also disliked having to make the booking online and had to ring the hotel twice when the online booking wouldn't go through. We would have preferred to have made a telephone booking. So, mixed feelings about this hotel. But, we wouldn't return as we preferred the budget hotel we used previously, so will stay there next time we need a hotel in the Canary Wharf area.
