Full review

I stayed in this hotel in early January as part of a trip to London.
I was drawn to this hotel because of the price; it was about £45 per person per night, which, for central London, is a fantastic price.
The rooms themselves were very basic, with ensuite WC and shower, a TV, and Tea/Coffee making facilities.
A bonus for the hotel was definately the views. By sticking my head out of my bedroom window, I could see the Millenium Dome (now the O2)!!
Also, from the massive windows in the large and airy foyer, we could see the O2 complex in all it's glory.
The best thing about the hotel was the location. It's a 10 minute taxt ride away from the Greenwich nightlife, and a 10 minute walk to the Dome and the associated tube stations.
Also, from the car park, the Financial Centre of London, with a cluster of skyscapers is visible.
The ground floor houses a large chinese restaurant for those who don't want to venture out into Greenwich itself.
Overall, a very basic hotel, but as always, location is everything!!
