“The Pilot Inn strikes me as a genuine find: a boutique hotel near the O2 Arena with uniquely designed rooms and a convivial pub at its heart, and the staff clearly go above and beyond, creating a welcoming atmosphere for every guest. I particularly appreciate the home-cooked meals, including vegetarian options, plus the easy access to Greenwich attractions. It's a cozy and convenient base for exploring London.”

The Pilot Inn stands out for its fabulous location, especially convenient for the O2 arena, reachable within a short walk, and offering easy access to North Greenwich via the tube. Guests consistently praise the well-equipped, funky rooms, noting the bonus of icy and silent AC and amenities like Nespresso machines; some have observed that certain rooms can be affected by noise from foot traffic. Many appreciate the good breakfast options, and the fact that it is a pub where you can enjoy Fuller's beer or relax in the beer garden.
