8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a good location for getting in and out of the city. (Cable car to Grenwich, or DLR/Elizabeth tube line right outside) The staff were great although I did have to chase them up to get my toilet light fixed. The Minibar in the room is a nice touch and the breakfast had a pretty good selection. Not cheap, but its London prices. I'd stay again."
