    Perfect romantic or scenic getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of central London

    The Waterman’s Arms is located in a quiet part of London with a residential feel. Good links to public transport, buses, DLR, and River Bus stops within easy walking distance. The Thames and the beautiful river path with magnificent views is 30 seconds walk away, leading to the foot tunnel under the river to Greenwich and Greenwich Park. The pub itself is wonderful and the staff friendly, attentive, and helpful. The room was a good size, nice comfortable bed, and a small but well presented bathroom and shower which had a luxury feel. The included breakfast, was not a normal hotel or B&B breakfast. They have a restaurant style menu, with perfectly cooked options, which you can select from. We really enjoyed what we chose Drinks are extra. We would highly recommend staying here, and would love to come back soon

    This is the third time we stayed, it's just so nice. Lovely, vibrant local pub just opposite of gorgeous Greenwich. Nice, cozy rooms with everything you need. Great breakfast, great food, great people. We will be back soon.

    Great location for exploring less touristy areas on the east side, but still very well connected to the city center (take the boat!) and quiet at night. Very good value for London - spacious, well designed rooms with comfortable beds and a very generous breakfast. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    This is totally personal preference, but the only negative for me was that the mattress was too bouncy and soft. I know some people may prefer that though!

    Really lovely, well decorated and clean bedroom. Location is great, right next to the river path. Staff were really friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great!

    As the rooms are above a pub there's some noise until not too late hours.h

    Both the pub downstairs and the rooms have recently been fully renovated with good style. Stone's throw away from Thames and few hundred metres from TLR station.

    Not having a blind/curtain over the en-suite window. It was partially glazed but didn’t feel I had full privacy from other properties.

    Location was perfect for visiting my daughter. Enjoyed lunch, although the sandwich option was not available.

    We were in room 3. Very comfortable.. Only problem. At 7-45 kitchen fans are turned on for breakfast and a loud vibrating sound is heard. Ok if you get up early. But if you want a lay in you better take ear plugs

    Staff very friendly and helpful.

    The only minor detail was a flickering bedside lamp.

    We had a great stay, the bed was super comfy and it was relatively quiet overnight, we had a very good night sleep. The food here is amazing, we had 3 courses for dinner and also breakfast in morning which was all outstanding! Staff were very friendly and accommodating, allowing us to leave our luggage before check-in. Live music in the evening topped off such a great weekend at a lovely pub!

    The building is old so the noise levels of people on the floors above can be loud, and room 3 faces out over the kitchen so be prepared for fan noise when the kitchen operates. The free wifi is a bit restrictive.

    Great location, great rooms for the price. Friendly staff and unlimited access. Spacious rooms and will appointed. Pub food but really very good pub food.
