"The hotel was good and near to public transport links in to London. We stayed here while attending a festival in Victoria park and was around a 45 min walk down to canal or £11 in an uber. Lots of restaurants, bars and a cinema nearby at Canary Wharf which was around a 20min walk or you can jump on the DLR The hotel decor is definitely kitch, and lots of interesting objects to look at! We both enjoyed the buffet breakfast which had a Mediterranean feel."

"Just very confused with the picture of the pool on the hotel booking listing it’s very very misleading to have a swimming pool as the main picture when 1 it’s not even on site and 2 it’s being charged to us for £30GBP. Breakfast was a good and had wide selection of everything the scrambled eggs weren’t very nice at all - I will say I had to ask for things like teaspoons maybe provide these on the tables or by the coffee machine? the bread was completely stale and not able to be cut and when I told a staff member I thought he was going to get me a fresh roll when in fact he just got rid of all the rolls on display and said thankyou to me? I was saying it because I expected the staff to replace the bread with fresh stock? Replace your toaster if only one side works. But I will say everyone was nice I just think staff in general are extremely relaxed. The room was lovely a very pleasant sleep and stay in a clean well decorated room. The hotel itself was extremely up to date and looks very aesthetic just maybe needs abit of fine tuning when it comes to breakfast and the listing itself in what’s expected."
