In a part of London that didnt ooze safety around. Appreciate its London but wish we had paid the extra £20 for a more reputable hotel. The 2 single beds were not comfortable. Didnt get any comfort from the hotel so left without even trying the breakfast.

We had planned a stay for 2 nights at the property. Upon checking in to our room, there was an extremely unpleasant smell - my friend described it as "smelling like death". We also saw a google review for bed bugs 2 days prior and decided we didn't want to risk it and left to stay elsewhere. Photos appear way nicer than the actual rooms. Would not recommend staying here until they clean up their rooms.

Dockside is a decent property with friendly employees. If you are looking for a place to stay that is within a stone's throw of the underground station, Shadwell is within a 2 minute walk. The neighborhood is decent and seems to be full of families and lots of working people. We were not concerned to be walking to and from the hotel in the mornings and evenings, but would wander late at night. It was noisy later in the evenings, we often heard cars racing up and down the street and sirens most nights. The room was plain, the bed was not the most comfortable, but it was clean and a place to crash. The bathroom was utilitarian, hot water was plentiful and the show was powerful. There is evidence of mildew on the ceiling of the bathroom and likely old water damage, but other than that it's clean. When we asked that the linens be refreshed and the room cleaned, everything was left spic and span. Breakfast was tasty and kept refreshed, with a selection of eggs, sausage, beans, cheeses, toast, pastries, meats, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, coffee, tea, and juice. Nothing fancy, but you can get filled up. Yes, it was the same each day, but it was fresh and filling. Overall, Dockside Hotel is nothing fancy, you need to pay more for fancy and updated. It's a place to sleep and shower and is right near the Tube.

The smell of sewer was constant and sometimes overwhelming. The staff sprayed the bathroom with air freshener which helped for all of about 15 minutes. Windows were opened and the fan was always on, yet, the foul smell persisted. Will NOT consider staying at this hotel ever again!

What a lovely hotel with such welcoming and friendly staff! Excellent location being so close to the DLR and overground. Very quiet and well sound proofed inside. Had a great night’s sleep. The room had lovely interiors and thought out decor - bed comfy, nice pillows and a powerful shower. Breakfast was a nice addition and the filter coffee was sublime! Only area can think of improvement would be an additional towel in the room and some more vegan options at breakfast, although there was enough for me to enjoy! Thank you Dockside

Was h

Check in was good and easy, Standards of the room were not ideal. Room was grubby with staining/water marks on walls. Bathroom was dirty with mould and grim in the shower. Breakfast was dismal, very hot in the basement with food sweating and if poor standard. I have never been to a hotel that offers cherry bakewells for breakfast.

The hotel is very close to the train station making it easy to get into central London. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in need of decoration but this is purely cosmetic and did not dampen our stay.

Excellent Value Hotel

We were visiting the area for a trade event, at Tobacco Dock, and the hotel was in a great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the venue was clean and comfortable. A great hotel and very good value, we will definitely be going back if we are staying in the are again.

Reception was friendly, lady serving breakfast was really helpful and friendly too. Breakfast was nice with option of beans, egg and sausage available as part of the buffet style breakfast. The location was really good. I had a friend staying in a more expensive hotel near St Paul's Cathedral but needed somewhere cheaper. Shadwell station was just around the corner, I got on there and off at Bank tube station (tube took 3:minutes) and then had a brisk 10 minute walk to St Paul's Cathedral. For under £100 you will struggle to find better within such a short distance of central London. I loved it there and intend to return.

You Pays Your Money, You Takes Your Choice

Given the price, the location was close to the areas I needed to be. If you are paying for a budget room, the condition will be passable at best. If I could not find any other hotels in this area I would stay again, but I will look elsewhere first.

A place to book when everywhere else is full or ridiculously expensive. Functional low end hotel. Room was clean, water was hot, staff were helpful, breakfast was adequate. Pretty basic, small rooms. Not much going on in neighborhood.

Little love needed

I’ve stay here multiple times and different rooms. The room I had this time really needs some love. Room it self is ok new blinds needed and lock on windows. The bathroom is really big but let down by how clean it is. Also broken floor tiles that could easy cut your feet. Hair dryer cord is damage didn’t use as looked unsafe. Shower screen hard to open was worried it would break. Toilet seat loose. Bed was fine nice and clean and slept well. No fan in this room. Tv has had better days. Stay here before other rooms was fine. Breakfast is fine for what it is. This is not a moan more don’t expect 5 stars for the price.

Dockside - good value for the money

For the money (£117) this hotel did what we needed for the night. 5 mins from DLR & overground. Not really a tourist area & some would dubious about staying in this area, but hey we wanted a cheap hotel (father & son) , out drinking both days ,watching Sunderland at Wembley & Brighton at Spurs ⚽️❤️⚽️💙 The hotel allowed us to leave our overnight bag with them on both days, thanks for that 😁
