Excellent Value Hotel

We were visiting the area for a trade event, at Tobacco Dock, and the hotel was in a great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the venue was clean and comfortable. A great hotel and very good value, we will definitely be going back if we are staying in the are again.

When we arrived and given the key to our room we were shocked at the smell of the room. One curtain at a window on the street broken blinds.Fridge not on and was very smelly.Tv wasnt working. Kettle was dirty and mould in the bathroom. Floor dirty. We asked for another room which we were given. Better than the other but wardrobe coming away from the wall one curtain hiding broken blinds. Tiles broken in the bathroom. Mould all over the ceiling and round the windows dirty shower. But it was late and the bedding seemed clean until the following night when we found beetles in the bed. I didnt want to think about the fact there were bed bugs. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Didnt feel safe walking to the station as it was dark and young people taking drugs.

Affordable London stat

Cheap place to stay close to central London. It was perfectly fine, quite a tiny room but staff friendly enough. Not cheap cheap, but cheap place to stay considering London prices and it was quite close to public transport

My room had had a dripping shower and the basin was a little smudgy. I told this to the reception and I was given a new room right away. Thank you for a quick response.

Little love needed

I’ve stay here multiple times and different rooms. The room I had this time really needs some love. Room it self is ok new blinds needed and lock on windows. The bathroom is really big but let down by how clean it is. Also broken floor tiles that could easy cut your feet. Hair dryer cord is damage didn’t use as looked unsafe. Shower screen hard to open was worried it would break. Toilet seat loose. Bed was fine nice and clean and slept well. No fan in this room. Tv has had better days. Stay here before other rooms was fine. Breakfast is fine for what it is. This is not a moan more don’t expect 5 stars for the price.

Dockside Hotel

It was okay. Receptionist was pleasant. The room was tidy (though carpet was worn, also ripped undeneath the window). The bathroom was modern and excellent, with a good supply of essentials with a modern radiator. The TV couldn't be operated as was pixated, giving a code. The room was cold at night as the radiator was permanently turned off. The window required curtains as only blinds available which did not close properly so had light coming in throughout the night. The room key couldn't lock the door whilst out of the room which was a concern, so I had to go for breakfast with my bag/valuables. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The setting was welcoming and with lovely breafast options available - THANK YOU

Whilst Dockside Hotel is not the most salubrious, it is a functional, accessible hotel. Rooms were presentable, if a little shabby and in need or some redecoration. Rooms are not big. But if you just need a reasonably comfortable for the night (or two), this should suffice for most. [Booked for London Marathon weekend]

I’ve stayed at this hotel once before. So it’s not a bad hotel just could do with a little more updating. My room before was a single and believe it or not it was bigger then then double room I had this time. The curtains don’t cover the window so would be better to remove as there are blinds up. And the only sockets are is the only place you walk to the bathroom so this was an issue for me as I needed to charge my phone and watch. The breakfast was a little disappointing think I was the last to go down so maybe my fault. Still the lady made me more scrambled egg and that tasted good. Could not find the tv remote so didn’t watch tv. Has coffee and tea in the room with soap and body wash nice touch. I would definitely stay again as the price is good for staying in London

When I checked in the staff was polite. The night staff member however was very rude. The room had cracks in the paint, holes in the walls, generally a unkept and and poor standard throughout. It has a dingy and dirty feeling throughout. A chemical like smell lingers around the place. Nothing more than a private room hostel.

In a part of London that didnt ooze safety around. Appreciate its London but wish we had paid the extra £20 for a more reputable hotel. The 2 single beds were not comfortable. Didnt get any comfort from the hotel so left without even trying the breakfast.

We had planned a stay for 2 nights at the property. Upon checking in to our room, there was an extremely unpleasant smell - my friend described it as "smelling like death". We also saw a google review for bed bugs 2 days prior and decided we didn't want to risk it and left to stay elsewhere. Photos appear way nicer than the actual rooms. Would not recommend staying here until they clean up their rooms.

Dockside is a decent property with friendly employees. If you are looking for a place to stay that is within a stone's throw of the underground station, Shadwell is within a 2 minute walk. The neighborhood is decent and seems to be full of families and lots of working people. We were not concerned to be walking to and from the hotel in the mornings and evenings, but would wander late at night. It was noisy later in the evenings, we often heard cars racing up and down the street and sirens most nights. The room was plain, the bed was not the most comfortable, but it was clean and a place to crash. The bathroom was utilitarian, hot water was plentiful and the show was powerful. There is evidence of mildew on the ceiling of the bathroom and likely old water damage, but other than that it's clean. When we asked that the linens be refreshed and the room cleaned, everything was left spic and span. Breakfast was tasty and kept refreshed, with a selection of eggs, sausage, beans, cheeses, toast, pastries, meats, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, coffee, tea, and juice. Nothing fancy, but you can get filled up. Yes, it was the same each day, but it was fresh and filling. Overall, Dockside Hotel is nothing fancy, you need to pay more for fancy and updated. It's a place to sleep and shower and is right near the Tube.
