“I found this pub stay to be a particularly good choice for solo female travellers; the neighbourhood felt secure, and transport links are easily accessible. Rooms are well-appointed, some including coveted balconies, and breakfast is a definite highlight with fresh preparation and variety. It strikes me as a solid base for exploring the Docklands, particularly for those prioritizing a restful night.”

peculiar smelllate breakfast
The room had a peculiar smell, rather like old socks. i mentioned it to the front desk, but nothing changed. also, the breakfast started too late. 8 Am is hardly convenient for anyone with an early start, especially when one is trying to avoid actual work. one might think they could manage an earlier time. at least the tube station was close.

The breakfast menu had diverse options for both drinks and meals. Reaching the place was straightforward, and I could leave my luggage for the day before accessing my room. This service was quite helpful as I wanted to explore the area without carrying my bags.
The mirror in the room needed cleaning. I had to do it myself. There was no hand towel provided in the bathroom. This.

My room was spacious and comfortable. I loved it! the bed was super cozy, guaranteeing sound sleep. the location worked great. It was a short walk to the dlr. i also appreciated how friendly the staff were. they were always ready to help and super quick to respond to requests.
i noticed the room needed some general maintenance, especially in the shower area. the window also showed signs of rot. i hope this can be addressed soon to maintain the room's overall quality!

The breakfast offered many options. I had a VERY good night's sleep because the bed was super comfy. The staff were accommodating and friendly. They let us leave our luggage before check-in. Live music played in the evening. It topped off a great weekend.
The room was warm. A small fan was provided, but it did NOT work great. The room had a damp smell, especially noticeable in the bathroom, even with the window open.
