The rooms are often described as spacious compared to other London hotels, and many guests enjoy the added bonus of in-room amenities like a Nespresso machine with coffee pods and cookies.

convenient locationsmall roomcarpet stains
the location was convenient for the excel centre, what i needed.
The room was quite small. i also noticed some stains on the carpet (it looked a little worn). the air conditioning didn't seem to work properly. It was either too hot or too cold, and i struggled to find a comfortable setting.

acceptable locationuseless tvthin duvet
the location was acceptable for getting to my event.
The tv didn't work. It wasn't tuned or connected to wifi, so it was useless. the room was freezing. I turned up the temperature, but it only blew lukewarm air. the duvet was too thin. I shivered all night. I might as well have been outside in -3 degrees.

Wow, the staff were so friendly! the room had a big window overlooking the docks, it was better than i thought. the location is great for the o2. It's a short walk from the cable cars!
the carpet had purple stains, probably from wine, and one spare pillow had sweat marks.
