Excellent location as we were watching a show at the O2 arena. A piece of history in the middle of high rise buildings. It’s been lovingly restored and maintained with quirky design elements to it. They had great breakfast choices and had a relaxed atmosphere. I love these kinds of places. Just the relaxing weekend my husband needed.

Fantastic stay. Loved the hotel and the pub downstairs. Only thing that let it down was the attentiveness of the staff. It felt like they were put out when doing their job. There were several occasions we had to find someone to serve us despite being in full view of the chatting staff. This is something that can definitely be improved and all in all we had a great stay.
