Good value, great location

This hotel was perfect for a one night stay while going to the 02. It is in a brilliant location with good public transport links, and the pub below is very good, with a nice selection of drinks. Staff were very friendly, made me feel welcome and explained everything I needed to know. My room was decent, clean, with a fridge which was a real bonus during the heatwave. The bed was very comfortable and a fan was provided. Couple of points to note is that towels are not provided, and the shared bathroom, although clean, could do with updating, but the shower worked ok, so I had no complaints on a short trip. The road that my room overlooked, although residential, is also on a bus route so was quite noisy from traffic, but I quite liked that as a novelty, however that may be an issue for lighter sleepers. Other rooms may overlook more quieter areas. Overall, there are far more positives than negatives about this hotel, and if anyone has reasonable expectations, bearing in mind it is rooms above a pub, then they will undoubtedly agree that the hotel provides a comfortable, convenient stay for a fair price. I would definitely stay again when going to the 02.

Perfect for our Trip!

The hotel was exactly what we needed exactly where we needed it! We were there for Comic-Con and it’s a great location for the Excel Centre (a three minute walk from the station) - it was very clean and had a straightforward check in and check out process. The door to the bathroom was a little stiff and was therefore quite loud but that didn’t bother us! We had a fridge, microwave, kettle and cutlery in our room and there is a Tesco express 2 minutes away, which was really handy!

Convenient located

Great location for an overnight stay after attending an event. Very easy check in and check out process with a very helpful host. Rooms were clean and tidy and the kitchenette was equipped adequately for a short stay. Rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up due to wear and tear but this would not affect us staying here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Was not as expected

There is no hotel reception and even though we confirmed our time of arrival, nobody was there to greet us; had to wait 1 hour for someone, to discover that our room hasn't been cleaned. Had to wait another hour. Room itself was "kind of clean", but the bathroom needs a good cleanup, especially the shower. The pub downstairs can be quite loud, and also the terrace located in the back, just below our room window (...). Our room was above the kitchen, so it smelled frying food/fries all the time. In 4 days, no one came to clean the room or change the towels, or contacted us if we needed something (again, there is no reception). Based my choice on the comments left, but in the end, it was disappointing overall.

Lovely pub with rooms

Lovely friendly pub/restaurant with great choice of beverage and food. Great location for events in London especially the o2 which is a 15min journey under the Blackwell tunnel. Really nice and helpful staff. Rooms a little dated but good enough for staying over a couple of nights. I was very happy to stay here.

The staff was very friendly and tended to my needs well, offering exceptional service. The food is also very good. One thing I does bother me a bit is that it would sometimes get kind of noisy outside at night and the window didn't block much of it. But other than that, great service with a dedicated staff.
