    There was just one minor issue really other the breakfast. We didn’t want the buffet that was included in the rate, we just wanted a simple bowl of porridge instead as we were running the London Landmarks Half Marathon. We were told this would be charged at £9 per person. I feel that some flexibility could have been shown here.

    The location was amazing, as was the view from our room. The room was super comfortable and we had everything we needed. It’s a cool vibe in Sea Containers.

    Nothing. The only thing I would say is that when visiting the 12th knot for drinks I was told I couldn’t wear open back sandals. Which was a shame as my feet were swollen from walking all day which resulted into squeezing them in to a less comfy shoe. I saw others wearing trainers so I was a little confused as I was dressed well to go with the sandals.

    The smell!! Beautiful scent for the hotel. We enquired when we checked out and were gifted a small candle each by a lovely lady called babs. The rooms were well done with the comfiest beds. Loved the display of goods for the mini bar that you could purchase. They thought of everything! We really enjoyed the decor and the daily quotes that were displayed down stairs which kept us amused. Great location. Managed to bag 80,000 steps over 3 days.

    The mini bar was so over priced. Bathroom could have been cleaner, as there was hair in the sink. And mirror smeary.

    The bed was so comfy, view of the city was amazing. Location was perfect.

    Food in restaurant was very salty and ruined the meal. This was an expensive meal - £162 for two people and so was a treat.

    Luxury feel to the hotel.

    Everything was spot on although if I was critical the room was too hot, which disrupted my sleep somewhat.

    Fantastic location and every single member of staff (without exception!) was incredibly friendly, efficient and helpful. Breakfast was a delicious, fresh, extensive spread. Dog friendly and they were so accommodating with treats and a dog bowl! Truly among the best hotels I’ve stayed in for the budget in London.

    Already booked a return trip - feels like home

    Very minor points - breakfast is still very good, but is a little repetitive and seemed to have fewer options than previous years. They also seemed to have removed Sky TV from the rooms (which was an unbelievable bonus I’ve rarely seen elsewhere). Room carpets and walls were a little tired and in need of a good clean.

    As always, a very comfortable stay, always feels like home here, which is why we keep coming back every year. We even extended our stay by 2 nights because we were enjoying it so much. Staff are very kind and helpful, the bars are very lively, the hotel very spacious and wonderfully located. We both slept perfectly every night - very comfortable beds and very quiet rooms.
