We chose this site due to its proximity to London City Airport. We were pleasantly surprised! The reception staff was incredibly helpful, as our mobiles were not working and my luggage did not make the transatlantic flight. I am certain I did not adequately express my gratitude for their great assistance, kindness, and understanding. We highly recommend this facility.

Needed to change due to booking error. Whilst not commercially required to accommodate property manager showed no flexibility to move dates a week later at a higher price. Charged in full even though they knew the room wasn’t required and could have been resold. I’m an IHG Gold customer. Will not be using IHG again.

Cheap and Cheerful!
Stayed for London Comic Con. Great location just a short walk from the DLR or a 15 minute walk along the dockside to ExCel. Staff were very friendly and loved seeing all the cosplays. Room was clean, bed was comfy with a choice between hard and soft pillows, although there wasn’t really much space for storage. Included breakfast covered all the essentials; choice of hot food, cereals, fruits, and pastries. Overall very good value for money and will definitely consider staying here again for the next Comic Con.

The property is next to London City Airport which is great if you're a plane fanatic! It can be rather loud at times but planes are only around until 21:30 ish each night. It is extremely close to the DLR which links to the underground. Free breakfast which is ok and meets your needs. Comfortable beds and nice decor. Overall a good stay, would go back if needed.
