Stayed at this hotel on five separate occasions. I'll be here for many more. The hotel is comparatively cheap (London hotels are expensive). The rooms are fine, clean and generally in good condition. The rate includes breakfast, which is really good, though it's pretty basic fare. For IHG members (Gold or above) there is a complementary 24 hour WiFi access. For everyone else a 2 hour complementary access is provided and you pay for more.

It's situated 5 mins from the Limehouse DLR station and is well placed if you fancy a walk along the Thames (Thames Path). The Cineworld Cinema at Westferry (DLR) is a 20 minute walk away (passing by the Indian restaurant the Spice Merchant).

The hotel doesn't serve food so you have a choice of ordering a take-away (menus at reception) or visiting some of the good restaurants nearby. I can recommend La Figa (Italian) on Narrow Street and the Veranda opposite (Indian) as well as the Spice Merchant (Indian) beside Westferry DLR station. Whatever you do, don't go to the New Thai Garden as the food is poorly prepared, the place is in dire need of a proper cleaning and the service lethargic at best.

This is a good no-nonsense hotel. I'll be back for more.

As a single girl traveling alone in London, safety was a concern of mine. This hotel had fantastic amenities and I felt very safe at all times. The front desk staff was very helpful providing directions and recommendations when I needed them. The DLR is only a 5 minute- walk away. I would definitely stay at this hotel again on my next trip to London.

Typical standard of room that is expected from Holiday Inn.
Breakfast is sufficient - nothing amazing, indeed now cheese is often omitted due to some warmer items on menu.
Heating is a little erratic - all or nothing!
Good location outside of congestion zone, but close by and 5 mins to DLR...

On a noisy main road next to a concrete works. Clean, adequate facilities with no frills. Polite and helpful reception staff. Noisy at night with all sorts of 'comings and goings' in the corridors. Maybe it doesn't help that there is direct access to the hotel lifts from the ground floor lobby.
