Room was clean, plenty of towels, would've been nice to have a small fridge, particularly in summer. Balcony was a lovely surprise and all, ALL the staff smiled and were very friendly. I could be cynical and attribute this to the new management 'bounce' but hope it shall continue as I am looking forward to return soon.
Staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel put on a ferry service over to Canary Wharf, which we used a lot and worked well. The room was clean and all amenities were there, complete with lovely views of the river and Canary Wharf. Breakfast was tasty, parking was easy and cheaper than other areas. Would 100% recommend the hotel.
Very accessible. Free taxi boat to Canary Wharf a big asset. Quiet hotel even though alot of guests. Lovely area outside along the river. Beautiful skyline view from room at night. Warm cookies on arrival!
The hotel was clean and tidy. We have stayed here for our last four trips to London
Always welcoming and friendly staff. Lovely hotel. Added bonus of the boat to Canary Wharf for guests
Stayed for one night following first visit in Feb. Room upgraded to Junior Suite with beautiful view of River Thames
Staff fantastic across hotel and food grea
We love the location, close to family. We love the breakfast, first class. The room was a bit dated (carpet) and smaller than what we are accustomed to.
