Wonderful unique hotel

This is a wonderful and quirky hotel - something out of the ordinary Each room themed differently, and there's a lot of history to be discovered if you have time to wander around the hotel Breakfast was excellent - A buffet breakfast that is not just the usual fare Only slight downgrade was the check-in process ... Everyone needed their own ID, and all were taken and painstakingly entered into the system. And then, at 3pm the rooms weren't ready so we had to wait a little, and then be showed to our rooms one room at a time (we weren't allowed to just go find them ourselves)

Overall was ok, but AC did nothing

Overall good hotel but the AC was next to worthless. My friend in a different room said the same. It barely blew air and was not really cold. Also, housekeeping entered the room twice while I was sleeping after an early check in. I’d still stay there again though as long as it isn’t hot weather

This boutique hotel has a lot of cute trinkets, unique paintings, and thoughtful design touches that gave it a lot of character. It definitely has a warm, artistic vibe that stands out from typical chain hotels. My room was located on the 4th floor, but be aware that the elevator only goes up to the 3rd. I had to carry my luggage up another floor from stairs, which can be a bit of a hassle if you have large suitcases. I’d recommend requesting a room on a lower floor if mobility or luggage is your concern. The location is great, very convenient for sightseeing. It’s close to the Tube and C2C train station, with a bus stop just around the corner. I also felt safe walking around the area even in the evening, which is a big plus. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing I was not happy about was the weak Wi-Fi signal in my room. It made staying connected a bit frustrating, especially when trying to plan activities or check travel details. Overall, it’s a lovely, cozy place with lots of personality, just make sure you pack light or plan accordingly if you're not on one of the lower floors.

Unique hotel with quaint look but tired with paint chips and dirty ceiling, cracked tiles and dirty corners in shower. Conveniently located close to Uber Boats & DLR. Bed was very comfy. Staff however were apathetic when responding to requests and seemed like they were put off with any request. Took over 8hrs to get our room cleaned, needed to ask twice for towels.

Great little hotel with quirky character

We booked them hotel last minute and was delighted how lovely the hotel was. It was situated a 4 min walk from the tube station in a nice area. Very bubbly and quirky hotel with lovely staff. We had a problem with the air con to which we had to move rooms to a cooler one and the room was smaller but it was ok for me and my son.

Nice hotel with quirky rooms and public areas but let down disappointing service. Arrived at 2.20 and was told “Your room isn’t ready, check in is at 3.” Fair enough but I felt like I’d done something wrong for arriving 40 minutes early. Judging by the other people grumbling in the bar I wasn’t the only one who felt like this. On our second day we got back at 6.45 to find that the room hadn’t been made up. I went to tell reception, no apology and was told that the rooms were cleaned between 2pm and 8pm but she would let housekeeping know. Went back after 15 minutes as there was still no sign, still no apology. I’ve never stayed in a hotel where you don’t get your room cleaned until 8pm! When we checked out we didn’t get thanked or asked if we’d had a nice stay. This is the second time I’ve stayed here and I won’t be going back

Very welcoming

We stayed two nights on leisure trip. Very clean with friendly staff. The room air on was very welcome during the heat wave. We will most likely stay again.
