Ignore bad reviews and experience it yourself!

It was brilliant, we stayed for one night and was our first time in Canary Wharf! Me and my husband were worried after reading the reviews, but we went with an open mind anyways and it was amazing. The room was compact and comfortable, lovely views etc. The size of the room doesn’t bother us as we were out most of the time enjoying other facilities within the hotel! We did find out through the reviews about the £100 damage deposit which wasn’t really specified in the description as it didn’t say the amount. While waiting in the reception before checking in, 4 different people checking in before us were all equally shocked by the £100 damage deposit and some were unprepared and couldn’t pay. This wasn’t a problem for us since we luckily knew beforehand, plus they returned the deposit into our account instantly after we check out. Our favourite facility was the pool, hot tub and sauna! The hot tub was out of order when we arrived which was disappointing but luckily they reopened it while we were enjoying the main pool. We stayed until sunset/dark and the view was magnificent, could see the O2 Arena and all the other skyscraper buildings! I also really loved the location asit’s a scenic walk from the Canary Wharf station. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend people who are nervous after reading the bad reviews to not worry so much about them because most of the time they’re just really picky. Just don’t forget about the £100 damage deposit.

Room wax clean, staff friendly and explained that if I needed anything, like cutlery, more towels etc, to just ask. Pool was lovely, gym also was good. I didn’t use many of the facilities as was working, but had a nice area to sit outside in the evening and was ideally situated. It was very hot the week I was there, I left the window open all the time and that helped. No air con, but I’m not a fan of that anyway. People have commented before about the train noise, it didn’t bother me at all. I could hear it but it’s literally like for a few seconds. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Decent bedding. Shower, loo and sink, small but perfectly usable for average sized person. Shows power very good, Kitchen had kettle fridge, microwave and hob. When I got there fridge was on, which was good as meant I could get food straight away. Crockett, I had my own, so you might need to ask, but there were mugs provided. Loads of power points, both plug and USB ports both around the bed and throughout the room. Light switches controlling all lights by bed, door and in kitchen. Bathroom light turns on as you walk into it. Cafe down stairs nice and cool, plenty of seats and variety. I would certainly stay there again.

Unfortunately we couldn't stay in the hotel. We arrived, checked in and asked to move rooms due to the bed being so small so my partner & I couldn't sleep comfortably (the bed was smaller than a double) there was no aircon and it was unbearably hot. It felt very dark and dingey and most of the light didn't work in the room. It was so small you could hardly move. The staff on reception were so lovely and kind and helped us to get a refund so that we could check out and find somewhere else.
