    I would have scored a 10 for facilities but on arriving in our room, everything was perfect except the bed wasn't completely made. The clean bedding was all there but it was all pulled right back to the foot of the bed including pillows and mattress protector. It was fixed very quickly and although the mattress looked spotless, I don't particularly want to see it just in case I spot something I don't want to.

    The staff were wonderful. We arrived 2 hours early and on checking in we were told we had been upgraded and our room was ready. The lovely lady at reception was friendly, informative and provided us with lots of information. Every member of staff we met from cleaners to waiting staff were super friendly and polite.

    Advertised as spa hotel, but no area to relax at poolside or relaxation room. Additional bar charges added to bill which had to be investigated before reimbursed.

    Convenient for concert venue

    The restaurant wasnt serving anything but an odd tapas type menu at 5.30pm. We needed to have an early meal but the menu was very limited and a tad expensive for the size of the portions.

    Great location, great staff, very helpful re parking etc.

    Only one lift was working at the time which caused issues and parking was expensive at £25 a day.

    Overall i had a good stay. Kids enjoyed the pool. Room was a good size and comfortable. Breakfast was good but could do with more variety to suit different people. Location was good and it had a good vibe around.

    We had a horrible smell of drains in the bathroom which fortunately my husband was able to sort on a temporary basis during our stay. He reported it to the managers on our departure who took note of it and were going to report it to maintenance. The cold cooked breakfast was a shame. Neither of these things spoiled our experience.

    The welcome from the receptionist was excellent and she took time to find us a room with a view. The room was a lovely size, clean and comfortable. Location couldn't have been better. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. There was a terrific choice for breakfast, and the quality was great. However, the cooked breakfast was cold, often a problem with buffet style. It wasn't helped by the bacon, sausages and eggs had no lids on the tureen.

    Same as above. The supply and demand for tables for breakfast was, I must, fairly minimal.

    The breakfast was ok. I managed to get down there and get a table. But everyone was coming down at roughly the same time. Subsequently the demand for tables was very limited and there was a queue to sit down.

    We had a room at the back of the hotel and the building work behind was quite noisy. The breakfast was good but will be much better again when the restaurant is re opened.

    Lovely clean rooms, close to the cable cars and DLR. The staff were attentive.

    The lifts are slightly rattling and sometimes shakes quite violently which was quite scary until spike to reception who were very nice and helped.

    The rooms had great amenities as well as very clean. Upgraded on arrival as they had a spare room staff were nice and friendly.
