Dockside Hotel
It was okay. Receptionist was pleasant. The room was tidy (though carpet was worn, also ripped undeneath the window). The bathroom was modern and excellent, with a good supply of essentials with a modern radiator. The TV couldn't be operated as was pixated, giving a code.
The room was cold at night as the radiator was permanently turned off. The window required curtains as only blinds available which did not close properly so had light coming in throughout the night. The room key couldn't lock the door whilst out of the room which was a concern, so I had to go for breakfast with my bag/valuables.
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The setting was welcoming and with lovely breafast options available - THANK YOU

I stayed one night at the hotel. For the price and location near the DLR it is a great option. I paid £55 for one night which is about right. Anything more then I think you would start to question things as it is all very basic.
Check in was quick and easy. Breakfast was included in my stay but I left before it opened so cannot comment on that. Will stay again if I can get a deal for around the same price.
I had an amazing time here. It was very clean, organised and homely.

Not the greatest 3 star hotel. The room was basic. Bed was comfortable and clean.
Upon returning to my room on Sunday after running a half marathon, a member of staff snapped at me about ringing the buzzer 3 times to open the door. I only rang it 3 times because I was unsure whether anyone was there to open it.
That did not stop them giving me a lesson on doorbell etiquette.
It was the last thing I needed after finishing a half marathon.
This is my 3rd visit here the rooms are more than fine for the amount of money they charge. They are clean and fine to go to sleep. My room had coffee and tea and soap with shower gel. Staff was nice. Breakfast is ok yet again for the money this is a bonus
Booked an overnight here whilst in London for a Christmas party. Staff were friendly and welcoming on arrival. Whilst the hotel isn’t the most up-to-date and a little tired, it’s totally acceptable, especially for the price. The room was best described as a little tired- things had obviously been repaired several times and sometimes the old broken thing left on the wall. However, the best was comfy and everything was clean. The hotel is right next door to the DLR so you can easily do 1 stop to Bank station to get you where you need. Breakfast was an actually unexpected extra for the price I paid, so I was pleasantly surprised. Decent eggs, sausage and pastries. For the price I paid, I would definitely come back for this kind of event!
Musty, dirty, in disrepair.. I got fooled by a good rating on hotels.com. I spent an extra night in London because my plans changed slightly. I didn’t want to go all the way to the airport as I wanted to explore London some more. I regretted my choice from the moment I saw the hotel. Not nice
