Cheap and Cheerful!
Stayed for London Comic Con. Great location just a short walk from the DLR or a 15 minute walk along the dockside to ExCel. Staff were very friendly and loved seeing all the cosplays. Room was clean, bed was comfy with a choice between hard and soft pillows, although there wasn’t really much space for storage. Included breakfast covered all the essentials; choice of hot food, cereals, fruits, and pastries. Overall very good value for money and will definitely consider staying here again for the next Comic Con.

The property is next to London City Airport which is great if you're a plane fanatic! It can be rather loud at times but planes are only around until 21:30 ish each night. It is extremely close to the DLR which links to the underground. Free breakfast which is ok and meets your needs. Comfortable beds and nice decor. Overall a good stay, would go back if needed.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. Friendly staff, 2 minutes walk to DLR station, nice view of London City Airport yet no noise problems. I've read some reviews that said its too loud. It's not! The rooms are sound proofed and the lobby is nice and peaceful and breakfast area and breakfast itself are faultless. They even prepared vegan sausages as my wife only likes those.
