“Not Good”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

Was staying here on business for 2 nights and I was not impressed. Don't get me wrong I didn't expect anything but basic, and the staff was really good and friendly. However, I was staying here by myself and found the location very intimidating. It is close to the Excel centre which was my target, and as it was fairly... More

“O2 Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

We stayed here for 3 nights, choosing it because of the brilliant deal we got through Booking.com and because of its proximity to the O2 - we were here for the Barbra Streisand concert. It's about 5 minutes walk to Canning Town Station and is only one stop to the O2. Unfortunately, they chose this weekend to close part of... More

“Basic and barely clean..........but a great location for 02”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2013

When you feel cleaner before you enter the shower than on leaving then you know you are entering the realms of inadequate accommodation - the realms of this rather grubby hotel. The entrance and bar area look great and they are currently painting some of the rooms, so long as this refurb continues and the carpets, beds and dingy rooms... More
