Great little hotel, very clean and comfortable. Only down side was the dodgy vending machine without giving product and the evening meal of basic quality. Breakfast was included and was good.

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.
