Disappointing to say the least

Made the booking on the basis of photos and location. We were on a tight schedule so pre-checked in and after many struggles found a way to book car parking. Upon arrival it was found that that we couldn't park without checking in.. there are several short parking spaces by the road but all were full ! After double parking over spaces I went to check in to be told the pre-check in hadn't registered, and the process had to be completed again with a requirement for phot I'd to be provided which has not been stipulated at any point in the booking, fortunately I had! Service at the desk was really slow and poor, key didn't work for the door! Check out was 11am but the cleaner let herself in at 9:45 explaining check out !!!! The room was very exceedingly small and no apologies from the front desk for any of this. Really shoddy tbh.

Such an amazing experience, I would give more than 5 star I would! I travel frequently and usually stay at Hilton hotels, but staying at Ark Hotel was an unexpectedly wonderful experience far better than what I’ve received at many branded chains lately. Hilton, in particular, feels increasingly franchised and impersonal, with some staff seeming entitled and disconnected from what true hospitality should be. At Ark Hotel, I was warmly welcomed by Supervisor Riad and the amazing team Kiya, Thristarn, Zainabu, and the evening crew Kingsley and Samuel. They all went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. Their caring, professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out. A special thank you to the awesome supervisor Riad, who was the reason I initially booked the Hotel. And a heartfelt shoutout to Kiya and Jordan—they are the reason I kept extending my stay. I was only supposed to be there for two nights, but ended up staying much longer because they made me feel genuinely cared for, not just like another guest. I was hesitant at first, but I’m so glad I gave Ark a chance. The amenities are top-notch, the environment is safe and peaceful, and I haven’t slept this well in years—literally got a full 10 hours of rest, which never happens! Ark Hotel has truly raised the bar. I’ll definitely be back, and highly recommend it to any traveler looking for a hotel that truly understands hospitality.

Nothing worked in the room. The TV had no channels that work. Shaver socket and 4 of the 6 plug sockets also didnt work. I was describe the condition of the room as "unacceptable". Multiple.scuffs, scrapes and broken bits including the bedside light and the shower door. I am 5'6 and weight 65kg and I found the shower a tight squeeze, with a sink so small you could only wash one hand at a time. If we had hoped to use the cooker, hob or sink in the room - think again. No plates, bowels, cutlery or glasses. Useless. The bedroom windows didnt stay open because of broken handles so we used the one teaspoon in the room to proper a window open. It was still insanely hot especially as the aircon also wasnt working.

Not the worst, but Definity in the bottom 10

Bed mattress had serious stains on it. No one cleaned my room all week. Didn't feel like a high end hotel, but cost as much as one. No parking provided, this is not clearly stated on the site, you supposedly need to book significantly in advance, but there must be no where near as many spaces as rooms. Room was tiny and uncomfortable, too hot, no air con. Staff were very friendly though and tried their best to accommodate. Gym facilities are great, pool was great and in fact very impressive, but doesn't make up for the discomfort of the room. Very expensive for what you get. Bar was closed, The train goes past every 10 minutes and is very loud, difficult to sleep. I only really booked here because it was near the job site I was working on. Very expensive for what you get. The rooms are TINY, but it's London Canary Wharf so I guess that's what people have become to expect. Race to the bottom quality and cost. Bet the staff get peanuts and the owners pay themselves millions in bonuses just like everything else. Will Definity never stay here again, you couldn't pay me to. Supposedly like £1700 a month to rent one of these prison cells. Thank god I don't live here 😨
