Friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were a good size, the spa was a nice addition. Staff at breakfast ushered us to our seats and explained what was at each breakfast section. Upon booking in, everything was explained clearly, was a lovely experience start to finish.

Enjoyed our stay, great breakfast buffet quality of all the food was high. Pleasant front of house staff made a good impression and despite the area being under construction, it was interesting and promising for the future. Clean rooms and nice warm pool, sauna and steam rooms. Would consider a return sometime.

The hotel itself was brilliant. Was going to the o2 for the weekend and the hotel was only short distance from the tube. Everything was great, rooms are decent. All great, until the breakfast after checkout. Was like the staff was worried we were going to run off without paying. The actual breakfast was poor. Was expensive and not a lot of choice. The staff kept coming over asking about method of payments whilst eating our breakfast. And as soon I had finished my last bite,(not an exaggeration)she had come over with the card reader and the bill. Hadn’t even had time to start my coffee and didn’t bother in the end. Made us both feel incredibly uncomfortable. The lady herself seemed nice enough, seemed more of a training issue.

The hotel is very clean and the staff were nice too. At a point the room was very very cold and I had to call someone several times to come check the room temperature. Basic necessities like slippers and bath robe had to be asked downstairs at the reception. I was shocked about the deposit and it’s been more than a month and I have still not received my deposit back. I tried calling the number provided but was on it for almost an hour and nobody picked up. I will most definitely take legal action against the hotel if my deposit is not being refunded as soon as possible cause this is insane.
