    Only one minor negative which was coffee at breakfast could have been larger as cups were too small but that's just my personal taste, everything else about the hotel was fab and I would definitely return.

    Room was fab and bigger than I expected and breakfast was really good with plenty of choice. Ferry service was great and very reliable.

    Area doesn't have that many dining options

    Family of five - room spacious enough so we didn't feel that we were tripping over each other. Hotel very well connected with bus stop outside the door. Very easy to navigate. Breakfast set us up for the day.

    Luckily the weather was good because the air conditioning was only blowing hot air.

    The location is impeccable, and the ferry to cross Thames is extremely handy.

    Toilet didn't flush correctly in room. Biscuit in spare bed mattress from previous guests. Replacement water bottles not provided after first day and didn't know if I could drink the tap water using the glasses provided.

    Family trip to London. Liked coming back at night on the Uber boat to relax after busy days in the city.

    Location to the tube station but the boat and buses are a god send

    Great hotel, a busy hotel but it doesn’t feel overwhelming busy. the facilities were excellent and very try well staffed - everyone was very try friendly and helpful and wore a smile!! The bar has a great atmosphere to it. Breakfast was great and was lovely to be able to have an extra coffee on the river side terrace in the sunshine. The boat was a great added extra to the accommodation. Cheeky little upgrade was nice and the room was decorated too.

    Nothing really.. No time to use all the facilities.

    Very comfy room. Friendly staff. Great cocktails from the bar. Made the stay more special, having to use to complimentary ferry across to Canary Wharf. Great location for a show at O2. Lovely walk through a nature reserve behind the hotel to Canada Water. .

    The pictures on booking.com don’t correspondent with how a double room exactly is. Probably a room out of the columbia part has been photograhed. Nevertheless the room is okay, just a little bit less fancy.

    Location is perfect. Staff are really friendly and want to make the difference for.there guests.

    Unfortunately, bar staff are a little unfriendly & avoided eye contact more than actually serving. They always looked busy behind the bar, but it's nice to be acknowledged when you are standing waiting to be served. My teens left to get me as they were ignored for over 5 mins with no one else waiting to get served.

    Location for London Marathon weekend was perfect. Runners are very well catered for. Transport to the start & from the finish line is very easy.

    On booking we didn’t realise the hotel was situated the other side of the river bit of a faff finding the ferry to cross on arrival. The walk from Canary Wharf tube didn’t bother us but for the less able it might. ( 2 minutes to cross a tad pricey, but then free to staying guests at the hotel ) Marathon morning no ferry/boat crossing early enough. Alternative walk to tube at Canada Water 20 minutes walk from hotel ( if we had known this on arrival we could have gotten off here and not Canary Wharf) We used this station for logistics throughout our trip. Hotel its self was ok nothing special. We had a view of the carpark, local residents garages and overflowing bins situated below our balcony. To which were emptied one morning, but the overspill of rubbish was left in the balcony area below. ( perhaps a unused hotel room) ( not pleasant on the eye) The room itself was ok, although tepid water to shower, the most comfortable of beds and pillows to only dream on. The carpet was in desperate need of a clean.

    The views of the river
