We loved this hotel! It was really fun for the children to get a boat across the river to get there. The check in staff we really efficient, it was much appreciated as it was late at night and we were all tired. The man even checked if it was ok to give the kids sugar, to which he produced warm cookies for us all which was a lovely guesture. The room was spacious for all 5 of us with a beautiful view of Canary Wharf. It’s a great location because proximity to the Elizabeth makes it quick and easy to get into town

The staff were really lovely and helpful. The room (junior suite) was really nice. Good heated terrace overlooking the river. Good choice at breakfast but some of the hot buffet food was almost cold which let it down. Had an evening meal which was very good. Bar area nice. Comfy settees. Good ferry service to canary wharf.

Views are great and so is initial inside look but lifts are small and family of 5 plus bags is not happening. Giving cookies out without asking if there are allergies is dangerous. 12.5% service charge for poor service in restaurant is excessive, rooms little dated no usb charging points and no robes as advertised. However getting a ferry to and from hotel is quite quirky and kids loved it. If its a base for going around and resting your head then perfect.

I had gone with my family to celebrate New Year. For my stay I booked the Doubletree by Hilton through Hotels.com There was no room service in the hotel and even the room heater in our room was not working for 3 nights due to which my 3 children had to face a lot of trouble. Due to cold, one of my daughters has caught cold.

Nice hotel and location with its own ferry to canary wharf. We booked junior suite which was very good with superb views over to canary wharf. Breakfast excellent. Staff very helpful. Only complaint is the room heating is very poor and took ages to get upto temperature and the controls are not clearly labelled.
