I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The location is superb, within walking distance of Greenwich and just a short stroll from Canary Wharf. The room was spacious and well-equipped, making my stay very comfortable. The service was top-notch, with lovely and welcoming staff. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited breakfast options. Overall, a great value for the money.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel above a pub that specializes in pizzas. The room was beautifully decorated with a bathrobe provided, which is a rare treat outside 5-star accommodations. The sink in the room came in handy too. Perfect for a cozy evening stay.

My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, equipped with great facilities, but the proximity to the smoking area made it impossible to open the window at times. The service was excellent, with helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for exploring Greenwich and Canary Wharf, but the dining options were very basic. Overall, good value for money with nice facilities.

The rooms were nicely appointed, with great facilities like a coffee machine, fridge, toaster, and microwave. However, being directly above the smoking area meant I couldn't open the window sometimes.

The location was good for exploring Greenwich and only a short walk from a tube station. It was a peaceful area with easy access to the Thames clipper for a boat ride. However, the dining options were limited to self-service basics.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was very basic, with self-serve cereal and toast. Not the best variety of food options.
