Booked one night for a wedding. It's a nice boutique hotel, one of the cheaper options at the time for the area – but still London price range. Located in Wood Wharf, a newer area of Canary Wharf there was a lot of construction nearby and thus a few roads were closed. There's a Dishoom next door as well as the hotel's own restaurant which I did not try. Also a few coffee shops and other restaurants opposite the hotel and Amazon Fresh (self-serve store) was across the road.
For London hotels, expect the amenities to be mediocre. Surprisingly, there was free bottled water in the room, unfortunately, it tasted like the cardboard it came in. Shower was good, was powerful and the hot water was sufficient. Thankfully, the shampoo and conditioner was not 2 in 1, but the body wash and hand wash was. Room overall was cramped, no room for a medium sized suitcase, I had a cabin sized suitcase and needed to keep it closed to be able to walk around the room. Mattress and pillows are on the very very soft side.
A little disappointing that check-in is so late and strictly at 3pm and check-out is so early at 11am. I only stayed 1 night it so really felt how short it was. Didn't interact with staff so much, but nothing out of the ordinary. TV services was strangely cut-off after 1am - not sure if just by coincidence, but it came back on in the morning.
Super close to Canary Wharf station so that was nice.
Pretty much what was expected of an average London hotel, but if you've travelled to Asia or maybe even Europe you'll know there's still a lot of room for improvement/comparison especially in the cost-performance index.
