- Perfect location to Canning Town station (DLR line and Tube). 4-minute walk maximum.
- Lots of supermarkets directly beside building.
- While I did not use it, there are basic gym facilities which can be used.
- Room was very spacious with plenty of space to store clothes, work from the desk, and fully-equipped kitchen
- Overall, room was relatively clean upon arrival
- The reimbursement process (see below) was effective and the support staff were cooperative and friendly. Thank you for that.
- Check-in was a disaster. I arrived at 22:30 and the security guard asked me to confirm which room I was staying in. I was not informed of this before arrival and was confused by the request as this is not something which is commonly communicated in advance. After an hour of back-and-forth with him and the hotel hotel HQ hotline, at 23:30, I was informed that there is no bedroom for me tonight and that my only option is to book something else. At this stage, I was so tired and annoyed, I just left and booked a night at the Ibis hotel for 142 GBP.
- The next day, I arrived to check-in at 17:30 and the room was still not ready (although according to Booking, check-in is from 15:00). I cannot understand from a management perspective that, given my experience the night before, the room was not ready. The receptionist informed me it would be 10-15 minutes, but I did not get into the room until 18:50, meaning the wait was 1 hour and 20 minutes. I was speechless.
- Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the check-in experience and the poor preparation in advance of my arrival. However, the hotel did reimburse the costs of the additional night at the Ibis hotel. My overall rating for this hotel is "4" based off my experience - it was "disappointing" but once I got the keys, I actually enjoyed my stay.
- No toilet paper in the bathroom, although it is indicated as included on the website. Given my check-in experience, I was too frustrated to have to engage in further discussions with the security guard at the desk, so I bought some at the shop. I understand I could have asked for some, but ideally it should have been there in the first place.
If management takes this review seriously and improves communication/handover between receptionists and security, I believe this establishment has the potential to succeed. This experience should not happen again to another guest.

Bring all the essentials you may need for an overnight stay, as even basic items may not be provided
I particularly appreciated the newly built, modern property, with its stylish contemporary furnishings. The location was very convenient for getting to ExCeL London, and the on-site gym was modern and well equipped.
Unfortunately, as the property has only recently opened, my room was missing several basic essentials that you would normally expect from any accommodation. There were no bed sheets, pillows or blankets, and no towels, hairdryer or basic toiletries were provided. I reported the issue immediately, but I was told that they were unable to provide any of these items. As a result, I had to purchase everything myself at my own expense. For a three-night stay, this made the overall cost higher than what I would have paid for a standard hotel, where all these basic amenities would normally be included.
