Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation, making it ideal for exploring the city. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff. However, the rooms were disappointing with cleanliness issues and limited space. The dining experience lacked variety and hot breakfast options. The facilities were basic and could be improved.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Expo Center and with easy access to the Underground. The rooms are in need of maintenance and some smelled, but the staff was friendly. The dining options were limited and finished early, affecting the leisure stay experience.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms at the rear of the hotel were clean and well-kept but a bit cold at times. The service by the front of house staff was efficient, although there was some initial room allocation confusion. The location was excellent with easy access to parking and the underground. However, the dining experience fell short with limited breakfast options.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were basic and in need of some TLC; they were clean but too tiny, and we had to pay for parking for 48 hours. The service, however, was really friendly and helpful. The location was not ideal, with no shops around and lots of work going on across the road, but it was great for getting to and from the O2. The dining experience was a mix of disappointing and very good, with limited options at times. Overall, it offered value for money with some improvements needed in certain areas.
I stayed at this hotel for my trip to London. The rooms were clean, but the twin room I got was uncomfortable to sleep in. The air-conditioner provided was a plus, and the staff were pleasant. The service was good; they apologized for the room not being ready on time and gave us discounted drinks. The location was fine for our visit to the Olympic Stadium and good for public transport, but it was far from the main attractions. The dining experience was great each morning, with various choices that pleased my whole family. The facilities were decent, and the price was reasonable for what was offered.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. While the rooms were clean and tidy, I had a concerning issue with the bathroom that was quickly resolved. However, the outside noise and dated facilities, including non-functional TV and air-con remotes, were major drawbacks. The hotel could definitely use some refurbishment and better maintenance.
The hotel I stayed at was a letdown in terms of the rooms, which were outdated and not as depicted online. On the positive side, the price was reasonable, and breakfast was included.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there was a musty smell in the disabled room we stayed in. The location was convenient for reaching attractions and easy to park, although the surroundings seemed a bit run-down. The service was good, with friendly staff offering local takeaway options. However, the dining experience was subpar with limited breakfast choices.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were decent, but the air conditioning was a letdown, making it hard to sleep. The service was friendly overall but had a hiccup with one not-so-happy bartender. The location was convenient for accessing the O2 arena but felt a bit too busy amid the current conditions. The dining options were lacking variety, but the breakfast items available were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were a bit dusty and could have been cleaner, but the breakfast provided convenience for all residents. The decor appeared dated and could benefit from modernization.
