“Stayed to see Kylie at The 02”

Holiday Inn Express London Royal Docks - Docklands

3 of 5 stars
Weymouth, Dorset
Jul 30, 2008

Stayed at this hotel to see Kylie at The 02 last weekend. Wasn't the best choice as the tube was shut from North Greenwich to Canning Town, which meant we had to rely on bus replacements and taxis. Grrr...
The actual room was OK. I'm a bit fussy and I found it fine. There needs to be more mirrors though, when you're a girl getting ready you need more! The TV didn't work, couldnt get any channels, and during the night 2 car windows were smashed in the carpark so I'm so glad I didn't drive..!
Complimentary breakfast was brilliant, and staff seemed helpful. I would stay again but only if the tube was fully operational. You can see The 02 from hotel windows but without the tube working it's quite a long trip.

“On the road to no where - get a room at the Rea”

Holiday Inn Express London Royal Docks - Docklands

Jul 22, 2008

Stayed two nights, there really isn't anyting near by apart from the tube,Canning Town. Stop and search is often in action as you leave the tube. The internet access at the hotel is very expensive and doesn't work. The food is expensive and at best very average. The hotel itself looks very new but the surrounding area is very quite run down, I didn't feel safe walking about. The staff were excellent. The rooms were well furnished with nice decor and very clean. I paid 150 a night midweek. Location lets it down, as does the extortionate internet access fees and the constant chorus of emergency vehicle sirens. There is also a gaurd dog over the road that barks all night so get a room at the back to avoid noise from the road and the dog.

“Great Value!”

Holiday Inn Express London Royal Docks - Docklands

5 of 5 stars
Michigan
Jul 5, 2008

We got an awesome deal on Hotwire for this--$72 per night including all taxes. We would've expected to pay a lot more than that. We stayed 7 nights.

We had a bright, sunny twin room with updated, very clean bath (shower). The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast included was very hearty for continental.

The Canning Town tube station (DLR and Jubilee lines) is about a 3-5min walk away, and the 15 bus also goes to the tube station from Aldwych.

It isn't the most scenic area, and there isn't much there in the way of shops and restaurants, but we never felt unsafe at night. I believe they have better security in the car park now, but it's no longer free to park from what I saw.

It was well worth being slightly outside of central London for the price, and we would definitely stay there again if we could get a similar deal.

“Blessed Air Conditioning in London”

Holiday Inn Express London Royal Docks - Docklands

Jun 10, 2008

Was offered great price on a two-night stay here through Hotwire. I was nervous about the location but once I figured out how to get there I was fine. As an American in London I had some unpleasant room size, bed comfort and lack of air conditioning experiences. This was more comparable to an American motel experience. The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a very short walk from the Tube/DLR Station known as Canning Town. Yup, it costs a bit more on the tube as it is going beyond the usual zones. But the price of the hotel could entice you. There is a mini-mart in the building next to the hotel where you can get a cold soda for 50p and reasonably priced sandwiches as well as good prices on beer. Very pleasant Lithuanian store/staff! If you live in this neighborhood you should go here for sausage as they have great selection. This is not a neighborhood for a good walk. I tried it, but decided to delete the picture I took of the metal reclamation business down the road. This is industrial country. But you get good television, air conditioning, good continental breakfast with excellent extended hours for all. You can take the DLR to Greenwich for a lovely day out (as I did). This is also good location for anyone using London Airport in addition to those who attend events at the O2. I finally got to sleep through the night in this place.

“Convenient for the O2 arena”

Holiday Inn Express London Royal Docks - Docklands

4 of 5 stars
Wiltshire, UK
Jan 16, 2008

We stayed here as we were going to a concert at the o2 arena. This hotel was convenient as it was only 1 stop on the tube to it. In fact you could see the o2 from your room.

The room was adequate with a bed and sofa and tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom had a shower but no bath.

Soundproofing wasn't excellent as our room was overlooking the road and the vents above the window let all the sound come into the room so ask for a room facing the back.

The breakfast was great and included in the room rate. It was continental with plenty of breads, toast and cereals.

Overall a good stay but a bit far out of London if you want to stay in central London but good for the o2 and Canary Wharf.
