A really quirky hotel which was enjoyable to stay in. It was like being in a living library. The staff were very attentive and seemed genuinely pleased that I was there as a guest. The room was clean and interesting, but a little cramped. Being a man of a certain age, I need the bathroom during the night and there was very little space to get out of the bed easily whilst semi conscious 😂 the location was handy next to the DLR but a little far out of town.

Only a flying visit, I'm afraid, so no chance to sample the wellbeing facilities, but the hotel itself is fantastic. If you're tired of characterless, identical chain hotels and fancy seeing London from a different perspective, this is the place for you. Quirky and fun decor, quietly attentive and friendly staff, really nicely appointed, comfortable rooms - and a killer Negroni in the bar. At this price point, it is excpetional. I'll be back,,,

Our stay was ok. I thought the hotel was very unique, smelled wonderful and the staff were generally friendly, with room for improvement. The room was very average and the unique feel of the hotel didnt carry through, which is a shame. The Homer room felt more like an Ikea build than an historal homage to the poet. The front desk attendants were on and off polite, at times carried on typing while i spoke to them. Restaurant attendant was lovely. Food was great and portion sizes good for the price you paid. I called for more coffee pods and they came promptly. Although no way of knowing how to call the reception as there's no info anywhere. Room cleanup was ok, although no replacement of dirty cups was strange. All in all, i wouldnt return to this hotel but it is a beautiful building with soft touches like family photos in the library area. Thanks for the stay.

A unique hotel which is quirky in design from both decor and room perspectives. Very clean and great location for both central London and The O2 but the bed could be a little more comfortable. Also too much ambient lighting from the mini-bar fridge makes it very difficult to get the room completely dark. But a good price for a nice and well kept hotel.

Really nice to stay somewhere a bit bonkers rather than an anonymous white box. We had a comfortable stay and the sauna was nice (although the journey through the hotel and past old conference furniture wasn’t promising. We had the Ada Lovelace room, which was a good size. It did need some attention, though. The toilet seat was detached, the mini fridge didn’t work and the curtains had just been chopped off at the bottom with ragged threads hanging down, and the shower tray was rather grimy round the outside. So, providing you don’t expect the kind of perfection the hotel photos promise, and providing you don’t pay the standard price, it’s an interesting place to stay. Two stops on the DLR to Bank means easy travel to the city.
