“I think this Victorian-style pub lodging offers a surprisingly intimate feel near Canary Wharf, a nice contrast to the bigger hotels. The stone-baked pizzas and lively pub nights create a comfortable local scene. For those looking to explore Greenwich or catch a show at The O2, it's a cozy and convenient base.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

ironironing boarddamaged bottomloud music

The room offered good value considering the area and included an iron and ironing board.

The pillow was subpar, it required me to use my own shirt as a pillowcase. The bin was also unusable due to a missing bag and a damaged bottom. The cleaning person woke me up at 9:30 with loud music.
