You get what you paid for.

Stayed 2 nights, 3days. Food - did not order anything so cannot comment. Bed - comfy enough. Facilities - could be renovated and redecorated. Walking distance to where I needed to be. Able to bring my friend’s cat - you do sign a waiver as expected. Receptionists were helpful and polite. Waterfront facing room on the first floor allocated so was able to get out onto the balcony despite the gloomy conditions. Quite nice actually. Considering that bookings were suddenly cancelled with less than 24 hours notice due to the whole hotel reservations made by the government - I do feel that it was improperly handled as those who have booked were left to find alternative accommodations in such a short notice. It did not appear that the business had helped these clients get into other hotels as a sign of courtesy. Poor service from that end by the business. Overall, underwhelming experience.

Oh dear

Hotel was closed. Didn’t inform anybody with reservations and I walked into the middle of protests due to the news surrounding the asylum seekers being housed there. Heavy police presence when I arrived at 11pm to check in.

Convenient location, friendly staff, but very dated The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk to Canary Wharf Tube and buses. The area feels safe and has plenty of restaurants. Staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the property is very dated and needs major renovations. My first room was dark, had no window, and was noisy. Thankfully, the front desk moved me to a much better room on the second floor. Expedia should clearly state room types, as I was told double beds aren’t guaranteed for their bookings. With updates, this hotel could be 4 stars, but for now, it’s 3 star from it.
