Travel to Barking

great, especially for solo traveller

I’m definitely a review reader and based my choice purely on the Expedia reviews. I was not disappointed. This is an absolutely exquisite hotel with a super location. The rooms are well appointed and minimally, yet tastefully decorated.

Location is great and the rooms are all modern, spotless and comfortable. The beds are huge and incredibly comfortable. The reception staff are lovely, really friendly and very helpful and the pantry area for snacks and emergency items is a great idea. If I had one piece of feedback it would just be that it would be useful to have some instructions for things like the aircon and boiling water tap but I would definitely stay there again.

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Most of those we were searching for in the area seemed small. This has a King bed and enough room to open all of our post cruise luggage. The staff were very helpful with logistics and helping us secure a taxi for our departure. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever been to for a hotel included breakfast. Wow!

This hotel gets a lot of mixed reviews, but honestly I think it was really good. I love the room concept-what a waste of space the traditional hallway is in a hotel room?? The small-ish bedroom is a real cosy boudoir and I had the best sleep-the slidy door from the bathroom to bedroom really made it quiet. Yes the corridors are dark, but it’s mean, moody and trendy. The service at front desk was exemplary but the reason for the dropped star is due to breakfast-limited selection and everything hot tasted very salty. All in all, a very good hotel, I’d stay again but have breakfast elsewhere en route.
