Hotel closed and didn’t inform me or any other guests who had reservations.
Seems that in the media it will house asylum seekers.

Close to metro and food options
We booked last minute because the private room we'd booked had not been properly cleaned. Location was close to the Canary Wharf metro line. A food court in the mall and an additional food hall were nearby.

Convenient location, short walking distance from Canary Wharf with good connections around London.
Hotel does have a slightly worn out feel, but the room is clean and covers all the basics so I can't really complain.

Perfect stay, cannot fault it.
Our room was absolutely huge with all the amenities you could ask for. Lovely view too.
Parking is really easy and convenient and I think for central London it’s great value.
We always stay in Canary Wharf but first time at this hotel and we have already booked to return in a couple of months.

Good location not worth money
Decent hotel very out of date rooms and hard bed but good location for the o2, can’t really justify £190 though.

Oh dear
Hotel was closed. Didn’t inform anybody with reservations and I walked into the middle of protests due to the news surrounding the asylum seekers being housed there. Heavy police presence when I arrived at 11pm to check in.

Small but mighty
Even though it is a small hotel compared to surrounding buildings the staff were friendly and helpful welcoming food pizza was delicious
The room was very spacious clean but could do with a little TLs for furniture and doors
Bed was little hard but find for me
Air conditioning is good as no windows opened and a fan provided
Would definitely stay again
It a little gem
