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.

Room Updates

The property itself was good however the room was indeed of repair and redecoration to bring it up to modern standards. Parts of the room needs re plastering the bathroom especially. Whilst functional the shower cubicle needs updating and the shower itself was poor and needs replacement.

Just a very dirty hotel. The bathroom and corridors were incredibly run down and felt damp. My bed had dirt in the sheets which I could not identify, as a result I found it difficult to get comfortable in the room.

Is clean but not modern. The room is a big but could use some remodeling/rework to make it look more appealing. Good for a short stay if places you are going are around this area. Public transportation access is great though so is fairly easy to get around from this hotel.

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!

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.

Very basic room in a nice pub. Let’s not abailabkenon arrival so waited around 30 mins. Had a beer whilst waiting so no disaster. Single bed fine but room basic and needs updating. Single shared bathroom for 7 rooms exceptionally tired. Fine for a quick, basic overnight stay but not for any longer.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was easy to find and the hosts were lovely. The room was clean and had everything I needed - I loved having a microwave and a fridge! The bed was really comfy and it was peaceful at night. The room was in need of a bit of TLC (some fresh paint on the walls) but it was clean and I was comfortable enough. I had dinner in the pub one night which was really nice. The pub is lovely has a nice wee beer garden. I would recommend this as a place to stay, especially if you want to be close to Canary Wharf but not in it!

Old historic pub stay

Old historic pub so room was a bit old and bed squeaked when you sat on it or moved, It had a shared bathroom with shower and toilet and was a bit old but functional. The room had a microwave, kettle,a fridge, a sink and some cutlery and plates and dishwashing liquid provided and a couple of teabags and instant coffee sachets. It was in a quiet neighbourhood and close to bus and train.
