breakfast varietyhelpful staffcomfy bedstrong odourlow pressure
the breakfast had lots of varieties. the reception staff was sweet and helpful. the room was clean and the bed was comfy too. the double bed could be a little larger for two people to sleep in though.
i think there is a strong odour in the rooms and corridors, it might be from room spray. the water pressure in the shower is super low and it takes forever to shower!!!

The staff were helpful. I found the breakfast to be very good with a nice selection of items available. The hotel is close to the DLR station. It was perfect for my travels around the city.
i hadn't been warned about the works going on at the hotel. The building was covered in scaffolding with plastic cover so i had NO view from the window. workman started working immediately outside my window around 7.30. The sound proofing was not good.
