The breakfast had tasty options. The location was near transport links making travel easy. The hotel has a modern style. Ear plugs were provided in the room, this was useful.
The room felt small. I think the photos on the website were a little misleading.

Cable Car Convenience

great location helpful staff delicious food
The location near the cable car was AMAZING!!! The DLR line and the Elizabeth line are both close by. Getting around to central areas was quite simple. The staff was helpful , and the food in the restaurant was quite good too.
The small size of the room was a slight issue, as it felt a bit cramped. I believe a little more space would enhance the overall experience. It could also use a tv in the room.
Location

The hotel is conveniently close to the cable car, offering a quick and unique transportation option. The proximity to the DLR line makes it easy to reach central destinations. The location also features walkable access to many shops and restaurants.

The room had nice amenities, including a comfortable bed and clean facilities. The space was really surprising, given the compact design of the hotel. The river view rooms offer a scenic backdrop that enhances the stay.
