Solid Stay with Great Transport Links

free ferryunderground parkinggood optionsmodern room
I found the free ferry to Canary Wharf a real bonus. It offered more transport options. I also appreciated the parking under the hotel. It made things easy. The breakfast had many options (I particularly enjoyed the pastries). I also thought the rooms were modern.
I noticed the room was a bit sparsely furnished.

The rooms include air conditioning, nice. Rooms are quiet, so sleeping should be no problem. A TV is also in the room, which allows you to connect a fire stick or PlayStation.

I found this location to be great with good access to the city. Access to Uber boats is a plus. The C10 bus can take you to your destination, or you can transfer to the underground.

I stayed in a double guest room for three nights. My room was spacious and clean. I found the bed very comfortable, and the bathroom had plenty of towels. The free ferry service provided convenient transport to Canary Wharf.
