About a 5 minute walk from Limehouse dlr station, great location. Hotel room was clean and had all amenities from shampoo and shower to hair dryer and iron. Breakfast was ok, did the job
The hotel was very clean, the rooms were very nice and quiet, which is unusual for central London. Staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast hours were very flexible. We had a great couple of days. My only negative was that the shower base was very slippery and could have done with an anti-slip mat. We were in room 708.
Very friendly staff, everything was clean, and the beds were so comfortable to sleep in. I would definitely stay here over and over again because everything was absolutely perfect.
I have stayed here several times to attend events at the O2.
Since my last stay there had been a remodelling of the ground floor, adding more rooms and a smaller reception area.
The restaurant area was much smaller, the food service area considerably reduced and with it the food offered. Yes the cooked breakfast was still there but the fresh fruit salad was gone, the fresh fruit was limited as well. Everything was crowded together with no space to circulate around the food area, a disappointing change
The bedroom however was clean and comfortable though a strong smell of cleaning fluid as though had been deep cleaned. The staff were helpful and allowed me to change room when I noticed a problem with the door on the first one.
We were very surprised that the room had no window, and when I booked it, I couldn’t find any information about that. After arriving, we wanted to eat something, but it turned out that the selection was very limited. However, the hotel staff were excellent and everything was very clean.
Staff were so friendly and helpful, a really warm welcome by the two lovely ladies who were checking everyone in.
The room was spotless and smelled so clean. Bed and pillows were super comfy too
Staff was really nice, the room was clean and comfy, no complaints there.
However, the breakfast was just awful. The scrambled eggs tasted like water, the hashbrowns tasted stale and were very chewy and hard at the same time. They had vegan sausages available, however they looked very undercooked, so i wasnt brave enough to try them.
