The only positive thing I can say about this place is that I survived. Do yourself a favour and stay literally anywhere else. Sleeping in your car would be an upgrade compared to this place!

Just terrible.
It’s a really drab hotel in need of an overhaul. Reception was slow. You had to pay £7 a day if you wanted WiFi in your room (per device!). The code I was given didn’t work and the hotel refused to give me a refund the next day. Overall, a terrible experience and I will never go back. I suggest you find another hotel if you possibly can.

We booked this hotel very last minute and were thankful for the last few rooms. It was easy to commute to by the underground and affordable. We requested for an upgrade and one of the staff members called Shahadat kindly upgraded our room with a window view. We really appreciated this.

O.k. Stay. Hotel room wasn't great regarding HVAC - no opening window & temperature control on wall didn't seem to work (setting a lower temp. didn't cool the room). Convenient for the O2 (wouldn't have been if Tube strike hadn't been cancelled !) & close to Canary Wharf shops / cafes.

You get what you pay for with London hotels and this hotel is at the lower end of the price spectrum. However, windows that are jammed open, showers that spray all over the bathroom floor aren’t acceptable. Overall, very poor.

Disliked: Staff & service
The location is great. Most of the staff were non responsive when guests asked for basic amenities. The manager was rude and harsh with guests. They were understaffed and we waited in line for 10-20 minutes at the front desk for anything you needed. They did not clean the rooms daily and in fact we had to go to the front desk daily to get towels and sheets. The manager told some guests that it was not their business model to clean the rooms daily. I saw and heard on at least 4 occasions the manager in loud arguments with guests. One of the guests was thrown out of the hotel for asking why they have to pay more for their room than the last time. I paid extra for an upgraded room and was shocked to see an outdated room with smelly curtains and carpets that were not clean. We had to pay a daily rate for internet in our room which was expensive. I was told if I wanted it for "free" i had to come to the lobby to use the internet there. Very disappointing and I would not stay at this hotel again.
