Top Royal Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Room was plenty spacious for our needs and had everything we needed although would have liked even just a small fridge. Not something I would normally comment on but I have to make mention of the towels as they were lovely and thick and soft and a good size. All too often hotel towels barely cover you but this wasn’t the case here. Hotel is in a great location next to Tower Bridge and has lovely views of the river. I would definitely stay here again."

Dorsett Canary Wharf London

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at the Dorsett, very friendly and helpful staff! Room was immaculate however the shower didn't fully close so water did leak a bit when taking a shower. And there was no bin bags in the bins so tea bags made a little mess! Alternative milk would have been appreciated in the room as I dont drink milk however this wasn't expected. Still a 10/10 stay perfect location for the o2 arena and would definitely stay again and recommend to others."

ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at Hotel ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf. We arrived before our 3pm checkin time and the hotel staff were able to take the 6 suitcases and bags we had while we explored London. Originally, the staff offered to expedite cleaning our room so that we could checkin earlier. We opted to explore London but appreciated the offer! The hotel is very close to multiple modes of public transportation which is necessary as the hotel is in a quieter area of London--which is nice during the evenings! The closest train stops running (after ~10/11pm) in the evening, but the next nearest train stop is still only a ~15min walk, so still not a bad walk. Although, the walk from the Canary Wharf train stop is a bit on the darker side, so I would recommend remaining aware of surroundings if alone at night (ie not dangerous just dark, quiet and nonbusy). Overall, I would recommended a stay Hotel ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf and would visit again if I'm in London."
