The Pilot Inn is a unique blend of an historic building decorated in an imaginative modern way set amidst designer high-rise blocks. It also has the advantage of facing onto an attractive park leading to the O2 with all its amenities. Another bonus is the free car park and quiet location.

Amazing choice for those going to the O2

I would very rarely rate hotels 10 out of 10 but this was so close that I couldn't not give it full marks. The room was brilliant and the mattress and pillows in particular were the best I've had in ages. Breakfast was also good and the pub was an amazing bonus to have underneath. By the time I went to bed the pub was really quiet so I had no noise issues.

Highly recommended for a visit to the O2 - 5 minute walk to venue and free parking. Lovely room, and a unique reminder of the historic Greenwich in the middle of a sea of new-build development

Nice stay 100% satisfaction

Really lovely stay, shame it was only the one night. Lovely room, friendly staff and the pub had a really nice vibe. Parking outside the property was a real positive. The area around the property is really good to explore and we would like to return fo4 another trip.
