Save your money!

Disappointing. Had to have a passport to check in for ID which I want told about, this caused issues as I didn’t have it on me, luckily I had a picture of it otherwise they wouldn’t have let me check in! They also wanted £100 security deposit which I wasn’t aware of. The room was so tiny it was laughable. The bed was a small double and the “bathroom” was just a cloakroom with a shower in it. The only saving grace was the swimming pool and sauna and the iced matcha from the cafe. I wouldn’t stay there again. Save your money

Zero sleep

The hotel room was tiny and not very well maintained. Plug sockets hanging out the wall. All needed repainting specially the skirting boards. The DLR is so noisy all night so I wouldn’t recommend to anybody.

Actually quite a good small hotel, pool was nice but didn’t get chance to try the gym. Room was small but clean. Shower is small so not recommended for bigger people. The DLR is loud but if you have ear plugs your are ok. Good value for what I paid. Internet was free but complicated to setup for multiple devices.

10/10 My favourite hotel in London!

I recently stayed at ARK for the second time, this time with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday, and it was just as incredible as I remembered. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist was so kind, welcoming, and helpful, making the check-in process seamless. Their warmth and professionalism truly made us feel at home. The amenities here are absolutely outstanding. The swimming pool is a highlight—not only is it beautifully maintained, but the views while swimming are breathtaking. We also made the most of the sauna, steam room, hot tub, and cinema room, all of which added to the luxury of our stay. The pool table was a fun addition, giving us even more ways to relax and enjoy ourselves. Waking up to the stunning city views and indulging in all the amazing facilities made my birthday celebration truly unforgettable. Having stayed here twice now, I can confidently say this is one of the best places to stay in Canary Wharf, and I will definitely be returning again in the future!

Not bad but definitely needs improvement

Location is good for my visit purpose. Room is small , so if you are a solo traveller its no problem at all but for couples, too small. Bathroom is very very small , for me it wasnt a problem as I am a small person but for someone who has a big figure, can be a problem as both the sink and the shower is tiny. When i first went in my room, it was so obvious that there was not any proper cleaning. Bed sheets with hairs and some other visible bits. Door handles and kettle are sticky. No dish soap left, clear that no one even bothered to check. Toilet seemed ok at first but when i checked in detail, a mess! They probably hope that not doing a thorough cleaning would go unnoticed if you are not careful but its toilet!!!!!! First thing hotels must make sure is the toilets are completely bleached all over as its very easy to catch illness from toilets. TV was terrible, but I didnt need it at all so personally it didnt bother me this time. I am happy that as soon as I informed the friendly staff on the reception, they immediately come and change the sheets and clean the toilet properly. I am giving good score based purely on my personal experience. But thinking about everything all at once, hotel must review and improve their rooms and especially cleaning processes.
