Staff member who checked me in was so rude, extremely polite to the man before me who was dressed in a suit etc but when it came to me in my working clothes she was so so rude. Almost felt unwelcome. Also threw the room key on the desk with no clear directions to room and had to come back to ask another person as i got lost. Booked a double but got a twin 👍

Check in was poor. Couldn’t hear what the staff member was saying because of the big plastic screens. The kettle in the room was huge and you can fill it in the sink. The shower set off the smoke alarm which is poor design. Not enough plugs in the room. You can’t charge anything practically

the location is convenient for canary wharf and excel. The entrance and downstairs rooms are impressive. However upstairs the bedroom I stayed in on level 4 was very tired, As were the corridors. But the room was clean and well equip and the staff in the restaurants and front desk were very good.

70's guest house room.

I had initially booked a double room with no window which I was happy with. On check in I was asked if I would be alone that evening and was offered a room swap with a window. This was all done very quickly and the room I ended up with single bed in a room backing onto the lift shaft. The bath looked like it was an after thought and they had nicked a bit of room from next door as it went into an alcove. The over all feel of the room was a 70's guest house. The room I had booked looked modern and fresh, they room I ended up with was dated. Will I be returning to the hotel? No, probably not.

Perfect stay, cannot fault it. Our room was absolutely huge with all the amenities you could ask for. Lovely view too. Parking is really easy and convenient and I think for central London it’s great value. We always stay in Canary Wharf but first time at this hotel and we have already booked to return in a couple of months.

Convenient location, short walking distance from Canary Wharf with good connections around London. Hotel does have a slightly worn out feel, but the room is clean and covers all the basics so I can't really complain.

I had a pleasant short stay at the International Hotel. It is in a great location, within walking distance of Canary Wharf, and has easy access to public transport. My stay was good value, but this was for a twin room (single occupancy) without any windows, which may not be suitable for everyone or for longer stays, but was fine for what I needed and I would book again in similar circumstances. Check in was quick with no issues, and staff were, smartly dressed, friendly, courteous and professional. Public areas, including reception seating and the conservatory bar were clean and comfortable. The conservatory overlooks the water towards the Wharf and is a nice area to unwind and relax in. The photographs on the Hotels.com site reflect the current look of the hotel fairly in my opinion. I didn’t dine during my stay, but the conservatory bar had a decent choice of drinks, including coffee, and prices were reasonable for a London hotel. Despite the lack of natural light and small size, my room was clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities provided: clean towels, toiletries, tea / coffee making facilities, etc. During my stay there wasn’t anything really to fault, so at the right price I would definitely recommend this hotel.
