Great weekend. Stayed there for three nights and I loved it. Great staffs, clean room even though the bathroom was a bit small. Loved the amenities(jacuzzi, pool, sauna, gym , steam room) although towards the ending of my stay, the jacuzzi wasn’t hot anymore. Affordable too so would recommend. If you don’t mind a little bit of noise, then it’s the best room for you due to the fact that the building and room is close to the train station. Would recommend

I would not recommend this place at all. They were completely uncontactable on multiple occasions, even Expedia couldn’t get hold of them, which says a lot. They offered no help whatsoever. We paid full price, yet half of the facilities were closed, and nobody informed us of that before we booked. To make things worse, the property was unclean and far from what was advertised. Overall, a very poor experience and definitely not worth the money.

When we checked in, we were told that a lot of the keys weren’t working and that if ours didn’t, we should contact reception so someone could come up to let us in. When we arrived at our room, the door didn’t work, and staff had to come up to open it. Instead of giving us a new key card, they told us that every time we wanted to leave, we’d have to contact reception so they could come and let us in again. We called reception a second time, but no one answered, so we had to leave our door open, which felt unsafe. The key to the spa also didn’t work, and we had to go down to reception for someone to come up and let us in there as well. It was just a massive inconvenience. This is actually the second time I’ve stayed here — the first time, the spa wasn’t working either. There always seems to be an issue with something. The beds were also really uncomfortable; ours had a slight dip and felt cheap and small. If you’re looking for comfort and a smooth stay, I’d honestly say go elsewhere.

Room neglected. Dirty. The hotel tried to rob me of seven hundred pounds, which was more than the cost of the room, and I had to report it to my bank as fraud. My shower had no door. It was propped up against a wall, and no one came to fix it. Reception staff are absolutely useless and may I confidently say, in the wrong job. -11/10. Horror story. Oh, bonus round, don't expect a sauna, pool or gym. They are lying to you. FRAUD.

Before checking in, I tried repeatedly to contact ARK about parking — by phone, email, Hotels.com messages, and their own app chat — but received no reply. Calls went to voicemail, emails bounced, and the listed contact details didn’t work. So, expectations were already low before arrival. Check-in was friendly and straightforward, but the shower door in my room was hanging off its hinges. I asked to move rooms, which turned into a bit of a faff with keys and confusion. The second room was dusty, missing amenities, and the TV remote had no batteries. Despite being told to use the app for issues, no one responded. Reception promised to send help, but no one came. The “equipped kitchen” was laughable — a kettle, two glasses, and one teaspoon. No plates, cutlery, or cookware. When I requested utensils for a food delivery, they arrived two hours later. The room was noisy, right next to the lift, with constant “dings”, and the bathroom was tiny. For the price, the overall experience was poor. Even the pool was inaccessible as my key card didn’t work. As someone who stays in London weekly for work, I can safely say there are far better options elsewhere. Would not stay again.

Property is in a convenient location for the 02 and has a lovely cafe and cool common areas. The rooms themselves are very basic and small and could do with a bit of love. We had some issues with our bathroom on arrival and instead of being moved into one of the many vacant rooms we had to sit and wait for maintenance, which felt a little unfair considering we were away on a birthday trip and had plans.

Eaten alive during the night, can only assume mattress had bed bugs. The room was SO hot, no air conditioning. The shower cubicle is VERY tight and the sink very small despite the bathroom being a great size. No tv remote to begin with, after receiving it TV signal did not work. No bin in the room. The cafe food and drink is absolutely fantastic!
