"I'm going to be really fair. Our stay was actually great. Don't book if you are fuzzy and it is an issue for you wear down flooring or not so pretty decoration. I can't be #profanityerased# to pay double for something a little bit pretty. It's a decent bed, clean enough, awesome location. On the management side was awful. I booked the day before and I had to get Expedia involved the night before travelling at 10pm because I didn't have the exact address, codes for access and the necessary...

10/10 Excellent

We have been coming to the Doubletree docklands for years now with our whole family- but In Recent years have been splurging out and booking the junior suites- as they are so worth it! The best thing hands down about this hotel is its location looking out over the river to Canary Wharf. By day you can hear the waves of the tidal Thames lapping at the shore, the sounds of the ferries going past and see the sun glinting off the buildings. I’m from Sydney and it’s the closest I’ve come to -being...

Great location, friendly bar staff on check-in. The bed, pillow, linen and space are comfy. I had a window too. So it was nice. I was really tired from not sleeping the night before, so I went to bed very early. The only issue was that it was noisier than last time. I've stayed here before in a different room and it was really quiet. This time I stayed in the women's room. I was woken at about 1am by the girl beneath me checking out, but that was okay. Then I was woken at about 7.30am by...

I stayed in a 18 bed dorm. The bunks were side by side rather than end to end. There were some partitions between beds but they didn’t extend to the ends so there was a lack of privacy, don’t understand why they don’t put partitions end to end. Mattress was very thin but still reasonably comfortable. Natural light was from skylight with no blinds so you might be woken by early light. Everything seems clean including sheet and duvet cover which were soft and good quality. There was a small stain...
