Absolutely fantastic room and staff, a warm welcome and great location. Great that breakfast is delivered to your room as a standard, but not one to get excited about, it was a disappointing continental as far as continentals go and definitely not worth the money I'm afraid. Wouldn't stop me from staying again though, everything else was brilliant

Not worth the money

The room was not worth the £138 per night. Barely enough room to swing a cat and it did not include breakfast. Was woken at 04:00 and 04:30 by a bin lorry emptying the glass bin.

Great stay, such a comfortable bed.

My husband and I booked a 1 night stay as we were watching a comedian at O2 Apollo. It was a very direct, simple 20min walk to the venue. Being right on the canal was a beautiful setting. We stayed on a Thursday eve and it was busy, but the noise was not heard in our room, which was fab! Bed was so comfortable. A very compact room, but had everything we needed (we stayed in a cozy kingsize). The welcome drink of prosecco was a great touch too. Loved the minibar option too (we did not purchase, but appreciated the option nonetheless).
