We arrived on a day when the door cards weren't working and the pressure on the staff to get everything sorted out when it was a technical issue was huge. The staff were amazing - helpful, patient and calm, even when faced very disgruntled guests. As for the rest of the hotel, it was OK - breakfast was really nice, accessed up something akin to a prison staircase, pub area was OK, again with very helpful staff, our room (an apartment) was huge and really well equipped, although a bit fusty. The whole place just needs a bit of a refurb and it'll be great - the car park at the back looks pretty dodgy, as does the rear of the hotel for example. Location is great, a minute from Custom House DLR and the ExCel with really good eating options nearby. We'll definitely be back.
