The room design was beautiful. It felt very luxurious. The gym had various equipment. Breakfast included a vast selection of well-cooked items. I especially appreciated the fruit selection.

The TV was mirrored. This made viewing difficult. The hotel eateries were difficult to locate! The bar staff needed training. Their English wasn't great.

underwhelming stay near the o2

good location convenient access faulty remote long wait

the location was good for access to the o2 arena. the walk was short and convenient.

The room's tv remote didn't work initially. It needed new batteries. i had to wait a while for someone to come and fix it. this was a bit inconvenient after a long day.
