Rooms-standard HIE rooms. Clean, functional, spacious enough. Bed was too soft for my liking, but that's down to personal preference. The furnishings were ok; scratches, marks and a tear in the bedsheet, but passable. The bathroom was spotless, although the shower certainly wasn't what I'd call a 'power' shower. They do have wireless internet, but unfortunately it wasn't working during... more

There seemed to be a crisis with another guest not having somewhere to sleep at 11pm. This clearly tested the 1 man team running the place at night (and the security guard wasn't interested in helping him out.) After waiting 20 mins to be seen to print a document I needed the next morning, I was told to come back... more

I stayed for three nights. The room is relatively spacious and it was quite and comfortable. The service was good and the tariff provided great value for money. It is easy to get to one just takes the Victoria Line to Canning Town and the hotel is just 100 metres down the road. They provided a continental breakfast. There was... more

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express, Royal Docks-Dockland, London for one night in September 2009 when attending show at the O2 Arena. This is the second time we had stayed there (earlier this year following another show at the O2). The hotel is easy to find and very well placed for shows and concerts at the O2 Arena. The hotel... more

A no-frills hotel, but handy for the Docklands Light Railway (100 yards or so) which links to the London Underground. Whilst the location is convenient in that respect, it definitely isn't a "nice" location - on a busy main road in a rather down-trodden part of town. Took a walk to find a decent pub or something to eat but... more

Stayed here in connection with a trade fair at the nearby Excel Centre. Location is OK in that regard. It is pretty far into the West End - about £45 by taxi, but there is a DLR station 5 mins walk from the hotel - Canning Town, I believe. Was disappointed not to have the option of an English breakfast.... more

First this is a "Holiday Inn Express" so nobody should expect wonders from it but of it's type the staff were very helpful and polite. Breakfast (buffett) items were replenished with speed and were fresh. The rooms are very clean and the hotel is much quieter than I thought it would be. For the O2 as has already been said... more

This is very much a typical Holiday Inn Express. It's clean, convenient, and cheap. The staff were helpful and fairly friendly. it's not right beside City Airport, but it's very close to Canning Town station, where the DLR (Docklands Light Railway), tube (Jubilee line) and many bus routs converge, so it's easy to get to, and doesn't take long to... more
