Although non smoking, there were cigarette fumes coming into our room late at night or early morning. Could also do with lighter weight bedding during hot sticky summer! Otherwise the staff were wonderful, the hotel is really good value for money and convenient, room was nicely cleaned and just an overall brilliant stay.

All very nice except overall. But scrambled egg is terrible, massively overcooked lump of rubber which as a vegetarian is a big shame as forms the main part of my breakfast

Firstly, the customer service was excellent. Breakfast buffet was well organised, and the staff were friendly, and responsive to any reasonable requests. Drive to Woolwich for the Elizabeth line and O2 arena is less than 30 mins. Bluewater is also in the vicinity. We will definitely stay again!

Staff attitudes were bad, breakfast cold (meant to be hot) air conditioning in bedroom not working properly and with not checking in early as they said I could I was late for a wedding. To me I am English and they wanted to serve everyone else before us, plus said room was unavailable due to cleaners but when we checked out at 9 this morning, cleaners were already cleaning rooms, so this was the probably the same as yesterday

The staff there was misleading and I was told a range of different things by staff regarding the late checkout. I have stayed before and everything was fine but I spoke to the manager on this occasion (zenit) and she handled things terribly

Great Staff, clean rooms

Thank you to the staff for making our stay a good one. They are all a credit to the establishment. Our room nice and clean, the breakfast fresh and the staff super friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff were especially nice, greeting us with a friendly hello and smile whenever we passed by. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Family visit

We have stayed here many times with our small dog as it is very close to our family when we visit. This time our room was a bit shabby, marks on the carpet and in need of a refurb. never have we had to use a toilet that was so close to the floor in our bathroom. The staff are lovely and make you very welcome. Not happy that you have to now pay £4 per night to leave your car in the hotel car park.
