We’ve stayed here a number of times now and never had a bad experience. The staff are all so lovely. The rooms are clean and well decorated. The food in the pub is always tasty and there’s always a new menu every time we’ve stayed. There is lots to choose from for breakfast and it’s cooked fresh for you. It’s a great location easy walk to the o2. It’s always a peaceful nights sleep we will definitely be back.
