Stayed here on a vacation with my small family of three. The hotel is unique and very clean, staff are friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is pretty close to Canary Wharf and the bus stop is right out front. Easy hope on to get anywhere. Strangely, London traffic makes everything a half hour away, no matter where you want to go.

Amazing, quirky hotel. Staff were great. Each room is based on a different author and you can find out more about them in the room. Easy to get to by bus or DLR, great pub nearby (The Grapes). Would definitely stay again.

Maximum points for effort but sadly too many elements don’t pass muster. King Size bed was a Queen at best. Their booking system is slow and creates chaos at check in. Expect check in to take 30 minutes unless they sort it. Staff are all very friendly though

What a gem this hotel is! Its exceptionally clean, considering the amount of ecletic stuff is in there. Only stayed on night so didnt get to use the spa facilities but next time i will try to give that a go. Had afternoon tea which was lovely. My room was clean and the bed was so comfy i had a really good sleep. The shower could do with a reseal..thats my only down point. I would definitely stay here again.

Each room is based on a different author. The room I stayed in had a nautical nuance as it was the Jules Verne room. It wasn't overstated but clean and in good condition.

This hotel is very cutie every room has a story and represent a famous author or philosopher. We stayed in a room for Jules Verne. However, if I am traveling alone I may not select this hotel the hallway lights on the second floor was always off some with motion sensors. So as a female traveling alone I would not feel safe. I understand energy conservation but some hallway light should always be on.

I loved that this hotel offered a unique stay! I wish all my vacations included this kind of hotel. The staff was pleasant and helpful whenever I had an issue. I had an issue with my air conditioning, which was resolved in a reasonable time frame. I fully admit I am type A when it comes to cleaning. I noticed some dust in unusual places, but I also realize I stayed in a room specifically for handicapped individuals, so maybe the room isn't cleaned as often?
