Top Royal Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

6/10 Okay

"Location is great if going to Tower of London & Tower Bridge which is why I chose hotel. Hotel is under going renovations, there is no AC currently and it was hot in London late May so that was a DRAG!!!!"

Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was very dated and the carpet was icky, it looked a grim brown/grey colour. The bathroom was like an old hospital bathroom but the drain was exposed and felt so yucky looking at it. The lifts randomly stopped working and you can only really fit 2 people plus 2 cases at once, and they’re really slow. Vegan options at breakfast are very limited, there’s no vegan yoghurt, you get PB milk and spread, not sure if the bread/cereal is vegan and no one seems to know"

a&o London Docklands Riverside

2/10 Terrible

"We booked based on the hotels.com website info and paid a price that reflected this being a hotel, however (apart from the room itself) everything else more like the hostel it has been taken over by. We felt very mislead. We received no replies to our messages via the hotels.com app pre-arrival, and the phone was not answered so parking wasn't booked. Check-in was chaotic. Lifts were not working and access to rooms was via a narrow metal spiral staircase. Breakfast was very disappointing - poor quality food and limited options, especially for hot breakfast - beans, hash browns, cheap sausages and a hard boiled egg in its shell! It was fine for a hostel but we'd paid hotel prices! Worst of all was when the fire alarm went off during the night. Not the hotel's fault, obviously, but very fortunately it was not a real fire as it was utter chaos for 1.5 hours while the alarm kept ringing. If there were any staff managing things we didn't see them - before the fire brigade arrived and said there was no fire there was no attempt to evacuate the building. There was zero communication or instruction throughout, no checking if rooms had been evacuated or roll call, no assistance for people with young children on the spiral stairs. People all over the building were wondering what on earth was going on. On the plus side the room was fine, the few staff we saw were lovely, and it's a great location."

ARK Canary Wharf

4/10 Poor

"Clean but very basic. Beds are a small double, not ideal for couples at all. Photos misleading. The ‘bathroom’ is better described as a telephone booth. It’s like the pocket knife of bathrooms; you can brush your teeth, have a shower & drop the kids off, all at the same time! - once again very misleading photos, tiny. Staff weren’t useless but they weren’t exactly helpful. Very blunt, seemed like they wanted to be somewhere else, don’t blame them to be fair. Anyway, up the arsenal!
