Good value, great location

This hotel was perfect for a one night stay while going to the 02. It is in a brilliant location with good public transport links, and the pub below is very good, with a nice selection of drinks. Staff were very friendly, made me feel welcome and explained everything I needed to know. My room was decent, clean, with a fridge which was a real bonus during the heatwave. The bed was very comfortable and a fan was provided. Couple of points to note is that towels are not provided, and the shared bathroom, although clean, could do with updating, but the shower worked ok, so I had no complaints on a short trip. The road that my room overlooked, although residential, is also on a bus route so was quite noisy from traffic, but I quite liked that as a novelty, however that may be an issue for lighter sleepers. Other rooms may overlook more quieter areas. Overall, there are far more positives than negatives about this hotel, and if anyone has reasonable expectations, bearing in mind it is rooms above a pub, then they will undoubtedly agree that the hotel provides a comfortable, convenient stay for a fair price. I would definitely stay again when going to the 02.

Was not as expected

There is no hotel reception and even though we confirmed our time of arrival, nobody was there to greet us; had to wait 1 hour for someone, to discover that our room hasn't been cleaned. Had to wait another hour. Room itself was "kind of clean", but the bathroom needs a good cleanup, especially the shower. The pub downstairs can be quite loud, and also the terrace located in the back, just below our room window (...). Our room was above the kitchen, so it smelled frying food/fries all the time. In 4 days, no one came to clean the room or change the towels, or contacted us if we needed something (again, there is no reception). Based my choice on the comments left, but in the end, it was disappointing overall.

I hadnt realised that it was a shared bathroom. However, this wasn't a problem and the hotel was in a convenient location and suited my purpose for the one night.

Room Updates

The property itself was good however the room was indeed of repair and redecoration to bring it up to modern standards. Parts of the room needs re plastering the bathroom especially. Whilst functional the shower cubicle needs updating and the shower itself was poor and needs replacement.

Just a very dirty hotel. The bathroom and corridors were incredibly run down and felt damp. My bed had dirt in the sheets which I could not identify, as a result I found it difficult to get comfortable in the room.

Is clean but not modern. The room is a big but could use some remodeling/rework to make it look more appealing. Good for a short stay if places you are going are around this area. Public transportation access is great though so is fairly easy to get around from this hotel.

Perfect for our Trip!

The hotel was exactly what we needed exactly where we needed it! We were there for Comic-Con and it’s a great location for the Excel Centre (a three minute walk from the station) - it was very clean and had a straightforward check in and check out process. The door to the bathroom was a little stiff and was therefore quite loud but that didn’t bother us! We had a fridge, microwave, kettle and cutlery in our room and there is a Tesco express 2 minutes away, which was really handy!

The staff was very friendly and tended to my needs well, offering exceptional service. The food is also very good. One thing I does bother me a bit is that it would sometimes get kind of noisy outside at night and the window didn't block much of it. But other than that, great service with a dedicated staff.

Very basic room in a nice pub. Let’s not abailabkenon arrival so waited around 30 mins. Had a beer whilst waiting so no disaster. Single bed fine but room basic and needs updating. Single shared bathroom for 7 rooms exceptionally tired. Fine for a quick, basic overnight stay but not for any longer.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was easy to find and the hosts were lovely. The room was clean and had everything I needed - I loved having a microwave and a fridge! The bed was really comfy and it was peaceful at night. The room was in need of a bit of TLC (some fresh paint on the walls) but it was clean and I was comfortable enough. I had dinner in the pub one night which was really nice. The pub is lovely has a nice wee beer garden. I would recommend this as a place to stay, especially if you want to be close to Canary Wharf but not in it!
