Based on the price of this hotel, the rooms are quite comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean and the view of Canary Wharf is stunning. The staff were very nice and the free boat shuttle was a big plus. The major downfall was no AC in the room, the room was like a furnace. The hotel bar also had a limited selection of spirits, they had no gin available on one of our nights.
