Top Royal Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great value and very well located. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment"

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, nice room, good amenities."

Tribe London Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for a night when I had a concert at the o2 Arena and I’ll definitely be staying again! The bed was really comfortable, the staff were friendly and the hotel is situated along quite a quiet street which was nice. Really clean and had all the amenities I needed for a night!"

a&o London Docklands Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at a&o Rotherhithe Docklands was truly exceptional for such an excellent price (~$120 USD/night). The property is expansive but the setup and the fantastic staff make it feel cozy and personal. The location right on the Thames is a great bonus and my room directly overlooked the river, which I greatly appreciated. The ferry across the river to Canary Wharf was so convenient and the Thames Path allows one to walk along the water as far as you like. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. The only tiny issue was that there was no outlet in the bathroom. The free breakfast offerings are many and diverse, including all the makings of a proper English breakfast. The bar includes a large seating area where guests of all persuasions gather nightly -- live music on Thursday nights! All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my 3 night stay--I didn't want to leave!--and I highly recommend a&o Rotherhithe Docklands."

InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was excellent, staff were all really helpful and polite. The location was fantastic. We were going to a function in the O2 arena and we could access it direct through a corridor in the hotel. The only criticism is that in common with many other hotels I have stayed in, they couldn’t cook a decent poached egg."

The Clarendon Hotel - Blackheath

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable one night stay, for the price it was all I could have expected. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant, and breakfast as part of the price made for a good overall impression. There is probably a need for renovation in places but the room was clean and had everything I needed. I would return again if I was in the area, parking was tight, mainly due to the way others had arranged their vehicles."

2-bed 2-bath Greenwich Apartment with balcony & lift

8/10 Good

"Clean home, very comfortable furniture. May need a new sofa soon. To many mirrors in the bathroom a title uncomfortable. The lock box should be placed in a new spot. There was garbage covering the box and we could not locate the box and didn’t realize it could be under the garbage bag. Good spot to ride the train. Travel lodge staff very helpful"
