Thank you for a comfortable stay
I had a couple of issues with my key card but they were sorted quickly. All staff were friendly and helpful. While I thought initially the DLR noise would bother me, the service finished as I was going to sleep and wasnt running at that weekend so i actually slept really well. Pool, steam room and sauna all really lovely

Stay at Ark
The room was very small
Possibly the smallest shower room I’ve ever seen
But they are very clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming
You can hear the DLR go past but it’s not too loud really
Certainly didn’t stop me sleeping

NO AC - MICRO SIZED BED
A really lovely hotel but the rooms are poor - as everyone else has stated no AC is a big problem - we had to ask for a fan which was very inadequate. Rooms were tired and in need of refreshing - VERY SMALL - everything is extremely compact - ideal for solo travellers not couples - the bed should be advertised as a large single NOT a double - it is NOT a double - extremely uncomfortable for 2 adults. Concerns that all electrical PAT test dates are expired. Hotel itself is wonderful in the shared areas, pool and view is lovely. Wouldn’t stay again.

Not the friendliest or most comfortable space
Shockingly small room with an even smaller bed. Were kicked out by housekeeping 5min prior to check out time which I thought was very rude

We had an excellent stay, Mohammed greeted us so kindly upon our arrival, the property was situated in a perfect location for commuting to the city, but had a suburban feel (great running), and the building itself is so nicely designed. Thanks for a great stay!

Don’t come here
Wouldn’t recommend, the room is boiling with no air con, requested plates for a takeaway I ordered and was given filthy plates, when I asked for the plates to be changed I was shouted at by a man demanding I show him where the dirt on the plate was. Terrible experience the tv also didn’t work in the room the only good part was the swimming pool.
