Trip Type: With Friends Review 1 of 5only average
Overall this was a decent value considering the significantly lower price compared to many other hotels in London. The location is not anywhere near as bad as some people make it sound, it is only a 15 minute train ride into the city. However, it is definitely NOT a 4-star hotel, and as many other reviewers have noted, the quality of the mattresses was not acceptable. If they only fixed those, I would have no problems recommending this hotel.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 2 of 5Horrible Bed. Horrible Service. Pretty good buffet. Air Conditioner worked great.
The bed was the most uncomfortable that we stayed in in our 3 week europe vacation spanning the british isles. Also the water from the sink had a horrible smell comming from it. Thankfully the shower didn't have teh same smell comming from it. Everything costs money to use be it the gym for 2 pounds or have one garment washed for 5 pounds. THere are 2 restaurants inside one buffet and one pizzeria both were good. The airconditioner in the room also worked great. No one helped us with our baggage as we went in. Really the worst hotel experience i've had anywhere. We did get a cheaper double room.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 3 of 5Very eerie Hotel
Walking into this hotel I felt like Nancy Drew. This was a creepy hotel right out of a mystery book. They try to use this retro look to their advantage as part of its "style" but it is more ghetto than anything else. The carpets change colors, the wallpaper is very 70s and the decorations you can probably pick up at party city. The location is nice if you're going to London for a meeting because everyone sleeps early and it's in the middle of the business district. However, if you're young and going to London to sightsee and enjoy the night life .. Canary Wharf is not the best place to stay. Try somewhere in the West End of London. Canary Wharf is a nice place to check out though .. I felt like I was living in Gattaca the 2 days I was staying there.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 4 of 5Not a 4 Star!!!
I don't know how this hotel rates as a four star. The service was a terrible. The concierge was uninformed about nearly everything I asked him and was very rude and acted put out at having to help at all. When I asked for my bags he handed them to me over the counter and offered no assistance in getting them to my room. Our laundry was late. The mattress on the bed was so old it was inexcusable! The wire coils were poking through the top. Hairdryer was broken. We had difficulty making calls from our room and they refused to let us use the desk phone to make a local call. There was construction on the building blocking off entrances making the hotel difficult to get to. The location is very inconvenient in regard to the subway especially if you have luggage. I would not recommend this hotel.
