Was a bonus break for me and my partner, because of circumstances. Compact room, but functional... one flight of stairs. (Better if Room 1 was just occupied by one... which was what I booked initially.) There were a few things that could easily be addressed.. the remote had no batteries (with a spare with flat batteries!), the one blind needs attention and has a 'temporary fix', there is a fan (and it was unexpectedly a hot Sept. day), the bathroom fan didn't work, there isn't really room for a chair, but with thought.. something could fit? (maybe?) No breakfast, but a fruit&nut bar and juice was provided. Having the bar downstairs was convenient...and there's a nice trendy Tavern across the road. Coffee shop nearby also trendy (but for us, disappointing as no sweeteners...and no apology from the Urban Baristers, but 2 minutes further a fab place called Ali's. Bus stops close by as well as Wapping Underground. In all a good stay.

Good find for location

It was much nicer than I’d expected and I had chosen it due to the distance from where I needed to be. Bathroom was big, very clean and had everything I needed. Not sure if it had a hairdryer but I always travel with one so that was fine. Had a kettle and very sweet welcome coffee/tea making tray and a few complimentary snacks. Fabulous big bed. And as a surprise a little private roof terrace screened for privacy. The not so good bits - no obvious air con ( I was there in a heatwave) and generator directly outside window. So the generator was rather noisy. Did have things like Netflix but the previous person’s login was there, so decided not to use it (no idea if it still retained the password) but I don’t want to take that chance. I think if I had to suggest any addition, it would be a mini fridge for if you wanted to store any milk, drinks or food..

Comfortable stay

Felt like I was staying in someone’s house. Felt safe. The bar downstairs was noisy a couple times. We had a bathtub, would have preferred shower.

The property is in a quiet area of Wapping, which is already a very quiet London neighborhood. The room was nicely stocked with amenities, and staff were eager to please by replacing everything on a daily basis. The bed/linens were clean and comfortable. We had some difficulty with the TV, but, for the most part, it was fine (and, after all, we weren't there to watch TV.) If you stay at Dockers Inn, the only think you need to know is that the pub beneath parties on Friday and Saturday night, including DJing and singing. This appeared to end promptly at midnight. It wasn't a problem for me; I slept through it. My wife, on the other hand, was up until midnight. Honestly, considering the deal that you're getting by staying here, it's a minor inconvenience. And it was a GREAT deal.

Room needed a little maintenance. Bed had a hole in the springs, had to turn around to sleep on. Paint was chipped, missing fixture in bathroom. It was annoying that we had the ground floor suite that exits right on the the patio for the pub. You get people smoking and drinking right outside your room.
