Great spa and pool!

The room was good nothing to write home about but personally for us that didn’t matter. As the pool and spa facilities were the best thing about or stay! The bathroom was fairly cramped but not a problem. The guy we had on the evening checking in was quite blunt and rude really.

Save your money!

Disappointing. Had to have a passport to check in for ID which I want told about, this caused issues as I didn’t have it on me, luckily I had a picture of it otherwise they wouldn’t have let me check in! They also wanted £100 security deposit which I wasn’t aware of. The room was so tiny it was laughable. The bed was a small double and the “bathroom” was just a cloakroom with a shower in it. The only saving grace was the swimming pool and sauna and the iced matcha from the cafe. I wouldn’t stay there again. Save your money

Zero sleep

The hotel room was tiny and not very well maintained. Plug sockets hanging out the wall. All needed repainting specially the skirting boards. The DLR is so noisy all night so I wouldn’t recommend to anybody.

Actually quite a good small hotel, pool was nice but didn’t get chance to try the gym. Room was small but clean. Shower is small so not recommended for bigger people. The DLR is loud but if you have ear plugs your are ok. Good value for what I paid. Internet was free but complicated to setup for multiple devices.
