We love the location, close to family. We love the breakfast, first class. The room was a bit dated (carpet) and smaller than what we are accustomed to.

This hotel was a great hotel for people who are going to stay in the city center for the day and only return to sleep. If you are looking for a place to be able to come and go throughout the day, this is not the place for you, as it is quite a commute. The room was fairly clean, but definitely had a damp smell and there was some mold. Beds were clean an comfortable. We needed to use the sofa bed, so having it pulled out and ready to go when we arrived was great. However, it was completely inverted with the feet significantly higher than the head. My husband had to do a lot of propping to make it comfortable enough for our son. This was less than desirable after a long day of travel. The biggest issue with the room was that there are zero power outlets in the bathroom. We had a group of four adults, and having to maneuver around the pull out sofa to use the hairdryer in the main room was extremely inconvenient. I would not return to this hotel for that reason alone. The staff was helpful for the most part, although the person we dealt with at check in was definitely not overly friendly, nor did he share important information such as how to use the ferry, which would've been useful and I have to imagine is expected. We did not eat at the hotel after going to the restaurant one evening and finding that the menu was a little disappointing and extremely expensive compared to other places in the area. There is a wonderful pub down the street that I would highly recommend.

The staff were great, but the facilities really need an upgrade. Our air-conditioning wasn't working properly in our room meaning the temperature was around 25-26.5°C during our 4 night stay. The toilet blocked continuously, meaning maintenance were coming in at least once a day to unblock it. Breakfast was great. The ferry across to Canary wharf was really handy. But this really didn't feel like a 4 star hotel.

Excellent warm and friendly hotel!

Stayed in a family deluxe room with my husband and 3 teenage kids. The hotel was fantastic and the addition of the free ferry from canary wards was brilliant, we loved it. The room was great and after a request before we arrived they gave us a room with a balcony and an amazing view over the Thames! They staff were really helpful and accommodating. I wasn’t aware that the pillows would be feather, me and my daughter are allergic. They were realy quick in getting us suitable pillows which was greatly appreciated. Also the warm welcome cookies on arrival was also a great addition, especially after a stressful journey. They only thing I would say is that the room was a little tired and could do with being spruced up a little and a couple of chairs on the balcony to sit and enjoy the view would be great! We were very impressed and would definitely recommend to others and would also stay again! Thank you to all for making it a pleasant stay! ☺️
