Flat review of ARK -

The stuff was very helpful and friendly. However I didn’t know that if I needed anything, I needed to contact the reception. I came late and there was not a mug or spoon to have a cup of coffee. Also not even a small bottle of water. The same for breakfast, i couldn’t have a cup of coffee. I asked the reception and then they told me I needed to ask 😀. Apart from that great views and very clean flat.

Very expensive for what it is

Nice enough place, but a few things to note - the room is tiny. Yes, it’s London, but it’s very, very small (bathroom is particularly small) - shower isn’t great (very small; not much pressure) - bed is like sleeping in a hammock (it sags in the middle) - no air con - if you open the window, the DLR trains are very noisy Good points: - free (fast) wifi - the TV works - fridge / kitchenette in room (altho there’s no cutlery / plates to use) - check in was quick - it’s secure

Underwhelming and Unimpressed.

The staff were unhelpful and dismissive. I had a parcel delivered and they couldn’t find it, no sense of urgency. The room was underwhelming and not very clean. Would not recommend.

Terrible hotel – avoid

A brand-new swimsuit was stolen from our room after housekeeping, and despite countless follow-ups (even emailing the founder), management completely ignored me. Zero accountability, zero respect for guests – stay anywhere else in London.
