a reasonably good stay

helpful staff well equipped accommodation early breakfast small room narrow corridor banging door

the staff impressed me. they were really good. the accommodation provided was clean, warm, and well equipped. the breakfast service started early at 7am. it was very good.

my room was quite small. i think this is common in this area. the corridor to the bedrooms was very narrow. the noise in the mornings was not acceptable as i could hear constant banging doors from guests.

The breakfast included a good selection. The staff were helpful. The hotel has a stylish design. The location is great if you want to visit the O2 Arena.

The air con wasn't working and I was not able to stream Netflix on the TV. The TV had limited capabilities. I found this disappointing
