Seamless check-in, friendly staff, room was very clean and modern. Breakfast was as expected for the franchise and didn't disappoint. Perfect location for the O2.
Little extra recommendation: we had dinner at Grizzlys and it was delicious and great value for money considering the location.

Great breakfast! Clean comfortable room. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Room was a little small and didn’t have any fridge and the property lacked some amenities but made up for it in what it did have. Great stay!
