Stay at Ark
The room was very small
Possibly the smallest shower room I’ve ever seen
But they are very clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming
You can hear the DLR go past but it’s not too loud really
Certainly didn’t stop me sleeping

Not the friendliest or most comfortable space
Shockingly small room with an even smaller bed. Were kicked out by housekeeping 5min prior to check out time which I thought was very rude

London stay
Lovely Amenities in common areas however bed was very small and bathroom was tiny. Shower was extremely small, had to fit in. Hot room, no air con and unfortunately you can hear the DLR very loudly until it stops at 12:45am.

Stayed twice at the hotel prior with no issues.
This time I must have received a room in a different area than before, because the railway was just outside with trains running constantly through the night. No option to close the window as is was 27 degrees outside that day so room was way to hot on arrival. Safe to say no sleep at all with the noise.

Good facilities and location
Overall the facilities and location were good for the price. Room didn’t look quite like the pictures, just the bare room no crockery etc. No lockers to put your things at the pool just had to leave at the side. Very loud every time a train goes past

Unfortunately we couldn't stay in the hotel. We arrived, checked in and asked to move rooms due to the bed being so small so my partner & I couldn't sleep comfortably (the bed was smaller than a double) there was no aircon and it was unbearably hot. It felt very dark and dingey and most of the light didn't work in the room. It was so small you could hardly move. The staff on reception were so lovely and kind and helped us to get a refund so that we could check out and find somewhere else.

The bed offered is not a double bed, water didn’t halfway through the night, toilet is unreasonably small, studio space with a kitchen but no cutlery/plates/glasses or any type of kitchen equipment. Staff were really helpful however but I will not be back here again.

was pretty disappointed to say the least... the hot tub was cold and the next day of our stay the water was fully off and we were not told so I had to call the front desk who hung up on me the first time probably knowing why people were calling. Disgrace

Great spa and pool!
The room was good nothing to write home about but personally for us that didn’t matter. As the pool and spa facilities were the best thing about or stay! The bathroom was fairly cramped but not a problem. The guy we had on the evening checking in was quite blunt and rude really.
