Absolutely fantastic hotel. Friendly staff, 2 minutes walk to DLR station, nice view of London City Airport yet no noise problems. I've read some reviews that said its too loud. It's not! The rooms are sound proofed and the lobby is nice and peaceful and breakfast area and breakfast itself are faultless. They even prepared vegan sausages as my wife only likes those.

Comfortable clean hotel with good breakfast
Great hotel - it is a trek outside of London and ten miles from Kings Cross but the Elizabeth Line and DLR make it accessible and convenient. Breakfast is good. Rooms comfortable clean and tidy. Some noise from the nearby airport but that’s to be expected given the location. We would stay again though it’s a bit too far out for a weekend in central London hit price drove our decision to book here as it’s far cheaper than city centre hotels. DLR is 5 minute walk away.

Some training required.
We have stayed in this hotel before and not experienced any issues. Mostly this stay was good but there were a few administrative issues and the manager would not take responsibility. At one stage he suggested that, within our party of 6 rooms, we had ‘mixed up’ our room keys. After spending a great deal of time I thought correcting errors over lengths of stay, check out dates etc I left the hotel for a few hours. When we returned our room had been checked out. He insisted I must have had my room key next to my phone. However, the second key which hadn’t left the room also failed to operate. Housekeeping were constantly knocking on our door to check us out both on the right day and the wrong day. They would all benefit from some refresher training. Although we have found the same issues in several of the holiday inn express hotels. Staff are unaware of room service times, food service times or check out arrangements.
