Absolutely fantastic hotel. Friendly staff, 2 minutes walk to DLR station, nice view of London City Airport yet no noise problems. I've read some reviews that said its too loud. It's not! The rooms are sound proofed and the lobby is nice and peaceful and breakfast area and breakfast itself are faultless. They even prepared vegan sausages as my wife only likes those.

Good choice!
Room was good, seemed all clean. Check-in was very friendly, though worth bearing in mind they put a £50 deposit hold on your card at check-in that lasts up to a couple weeks. Location is good, airport noise not as well kept out as I'd like, but not an issue at night. Only dissapointment, I requested a wake-up call which never came, so double check that if you'll really need one.
