Clean room and great service staff are really helpful
Good accommodation clean tidy well maintained and a gift to have air con in room. Breakfast good and good location 5 mins from tube all in all great deal.
Accessible and located in an area with great access to transport. Local shopping in the area and restaurants are great.
The bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Sole reason for the 3-rating. Otherwise, it would have been a 4.
The location is very convenient . There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and canning town tube station is five minutes walk from the hotel.
A grocery store is opposite of the hotel as well. It is a very safe area. Staff was nice and the breakfast was good. No issues with A/C.
Everything was great except there was a smell coming from the shower drain. The staff were very helpful with storing my luggage both before and after my stay.
The standard room is very basic. Scuff marks along skirting board. Peeling paint and dirty chair. Air conditioner did not work and toilet light flickering. Carpet didn’t look hoovered. Staff were okay especially kitchen staff - they were nice. Breakfast was okay - hash browns were nice.
Really lovely receptionist on check in. Made to feel welcome and knowledge and travel advice about local area shared. Room clean and tidy. Nice breakfadt. About a 5 minute walk to the tube station.

Seamless check-in, friendly staff, room was very clean and modern. Breakfast was as expected for the franchise and didn't disappoint. Perfect location for the O2.
Little extra recommendation: we had dinner at Grizzlys and it was delicious and great value for money considering the location.
we stayed here for one night as we were attending an event at the O2. We had a lovely stay and no complaints. The hotel is easily accessible via tube, DLR and bus, and the breakfast was good value.
