quiet stay near the docks

spacious room cable car wide range
My room was spacious and wonderfully comfortable, with soft bed and fluffy pillows. It was the ultimate relaxation. I loved being near the cable cars. They offered quick trips over the river, granting me easy access to the O2 Arena. The breakfast offered a wide range of options. I savored each morning.
the hotel's proximity to other restaurants IS a slight inconvenience, requiring a bit of travel for dining options.
Rooms

Adequate stay

clean room friendly staff excellent food faulty lift closed room unavailable service
The room was clean. The wifi connection was sometimes problematic. I had to go to the bar area to get wifi when it happened. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent.
The lift was out of order. This caused some inconvenience . The spa treatment rooms were closed. This closure was not disclosed on the website, so the main reason for my stay was unavailable.
