Top Royal Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"The location in unbeatable . My check in staff member was very rude . The concierge staff were amazing . Went to have dinner at vicinity and was treated so rudely by the initial staff member his name was Boyce but all other staff were absolutely fantastic"

InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was amazing and we got a free upgrade to a deluxe King room! The view was right over the O2 and that was pretty cool too!"

Tribe London Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and clean room."

a&o London Docklands Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at a&o Rotherhithe Docklands was truly exceptional for such an excellent price (~$120 USD/night). The property is expansive but the setup and the fantastic staff make it feel cozy and personal. The location right on the Thames is a great bonus and my room directly overlooked the river, which I greatly appreciated. The ferry across the river to Canary Wharf was so convenient and the Thames Path allows one to walk along the water as far as you like. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. The only tiny issue was that there was no outlet in the bathroom. The free breakfast offerings are many and diverse, including all the makings of a proper English breakfast. The bar includes a large seating area where guests of all persuasions gather nightly -- live music on Thursday nights! All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my 3 night stay--I didn't want to leave!--and I highly recommend a&o Rotherhithe Docklands."

The Clarendon Hotel - Blackheath

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable one night stay, for the price it was all I could have expected. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant, and breakfast as part of the price made for a good overall impression. There is probably a need for renovation in places but the room was clean and had everything I needed. I would return again if I was in the area, parking was tight, mainly due to the way others had arranged their vehicles."

2-bed 2-bath Greenwich Apartment with balcony & lift

8/10 Good

"Clean home, very comfortable furniture. May need a new sofa soon. To many mirrors in the bathroom a title uncomfortable. The lock box should be placed in a new spot. There was garbage covering the box and we could not locate the box and didn’t realize it could be under the garbage bag. Good spot to ride the train. Travel lodge staff very helpful"
