Guest scores and detailed hotel feedback

Past guest experiences and opinions

Jack

United Kingdom, April 2024

6.8/10

The hotel has a convenient location for those with early flights from London City Airport, but cleanliness and tight spaces could be improved. The staff is friendly all around, from the manager to housekeeping, and the service is satisfactory albeit with some minor hiccups. Dining options offer a good variety but checking out could be smoother.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were small, especially for the top floor location with no lift access. The bathroom layout was inconvenient with the shower between the sink.

Service

7.0

The service was friendly and helpful overall, though there were some issues with unavailable beverages due to operational reasons.

Location

7.0

The hotel's proximity to London City Airport is ideal for early flights, and being close to the DLR station is convenient. However, the presence of smashed glass nearby was off-putting.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was good with a nice selection of drinks, except for some awkwardness with the layout and lack of clear information at check-out.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offers a prepared-to-order dining experience with hot dogs, but facilities need improvement in terms of cleanliness and maintenance.

6.6/10

I stayed at this hotel and found that while the location was excellent, close to the Excel Convention Centre and with helpful staff, there were some issues with the rooms and service. The rooms were not as expected, and I was disappointed with the lack of response from the staff when requesting a different room. The service was a mixed bag, ranging from being friendly and accommodating to instances of rudeness and unhelpfulness.

Rooms

5.0

The room I received was different from what I saw on the website, and it was located underground without the option for a change despite my request. The layout was a bit odd with rooms on one side and a busy pub on the other.

Service

6.0

I experienced both rude behavior, such as being told to find other accommodation upon late arrival despite prior notice, and friendly service during my stay. The lack of heating in the room upon my arrival was inconvenient.

Location

8.0

The location was excellent, just a 5-minute walk to the Excel Convention Centre and close to public transportation like the Prince Regent docklands station. However, the room was drafty due to the windows.

Dining

7.0

While the dining experience was good, with a selection of dishes and drinks, the opening times for meals may not suit all guests, starting at 8 am.

The hotel's location was ideal, just a few minutes walk from Prince Regent docklands station, making it excellent for my needs. The rooms were a bit small, and unfortunately not accessible for people with mobility problems. The service was great for business travelers, though there was a slight inconvenience with invoicing. The dining experience was decent, but there were better options available nearby. The hotel offers a convenient location close to the Excel Exhibition Centre and Gatwick Airport.
