The hotel is ideally situated close to the North Greenwich tube station, making it convenient for events at the O2 arena. The lovely green surroundings and free parking add to its charm. However, there were areas that needed better cleanliness, despite being in an otherwise very modern area.

Rooms

The rooms are small but well-appointed, each with its own character. The bathroom was also small but adequate. Breakfast was included, and there was a TV in the room.

The dining experience was decent with quick service for both food and drinks. There were cooked options available, but some items like the sausage were of low quality. They did have a good option for vegetarians, like the Hungarian beef stew.
