“Small Hotel, nice room with comfy bed - great for O2”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Easy to get to after gig at O2. Rang ahead as we would be booking in late (about 11.30pm) not a problem, great checking-in service which just required entering name and other details then our key dropped into a secure box - ingenious!

Room was small, but perfect for what we needed - we had a complimentary bottle of wine in our room, which was a lovely touch for our wedding anniversary. The bed scored a 10/10 for comfort, lovely big bathroom with White Company shower gel and shampoo.

Don't be put off by the street outside, this hotel is great inside.

The kebab shop next door was perfect for a late night 'apres' gig 'snack'.

We rang the hotel to let them know we'd be late checking in as we would be going straight to the O2 and they recommended getting the 422 or 108 bus instead of a taxi - we did this and were dropped off just down the street from the hotel - saving a small fortune in taxi fares and a long wait at the taxi queue at the O2.

Breakfast was lovely -M&S bread and pastries etc, very friendly chap made us coffee and the lay out was very sociable to chat to other guests.

Would definitely use again if going to O2.

Room Tip: Stay here for O2 - get bus 108 or 422 from O2 to hotel.

“Brilliant Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Me and my boyfriend (young couple) stayed here for the night after watching the football at The Valley. The place was immaculately clean and really well decorated. We stayed in what was described as a "small double". The room was indeed small, however for one night it was fine. The en suite bathroom was still of decent size and, like the room, was immaculately clean and well fitted out. We only saw 1 member of staff when we stayed there, which was at breakfast. We had to check in electronically and although was very easy to use, felt a little odd as sometimes I think you just want to see a friendly face that can answer any questions or concerns you may have. Having said this there was a welcome pack on the bed that answered any questions we might have had. My one slight disappoint is that there was not a cooked breakfast: just a range of cereals, meats and bread.

I would 100% recommend anyone to stay here if you are just going to the Greenwich area for a night. If it is London where you want to mainly visit then this hotel would still be OK if you wanted to save on money but not necessarily the quality of the hotel. It took us about 20 minutes to get into the city centre (via bus and tube).

“Dirty and Dated!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

To be honest with you we were very disappointed with the hotel.

As we have small children a night away is luxury. When we booked the hotel it sounded very nice. To turn up and see it was in a parade of shops and next to a kebab shop wasn't very impressive. The service was good on arrival. But again when going into the room we found lots of body hair on the bed which was vial. The overall cleanliness of the room was poor. We felt it hadn't been cleaned and the carpets were dirty. We decided immediately we wouldn't be staying for breakfast and slept with our clothes on.
For the room cost of £100 we feel badly ripped off and felt the website is very misleading.

“Small hotel, in a nice place.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

We stayed here for one night at the end of November and must admit the competitive price was a big draw for this B&B! We booked through late rooms and this was one of the few hotels that didn't have a 2 night stay requirement.
We were met by a very friendly proprietor who was not only helpful with our luggage, but also offered us advice about local transport links and eateries. Our room was on the small side, up a narrow steep staircase, but well appointed with flat screen television, tea/coffee facilities and neat en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was an interesting experience where said proprietor's friendliness became a little overwhelming but was well intentioned.
The location was very convenient for Blackheath Village and Greenwich, it is a very pleasant part of London and handy for City Airport for those travellers not wishing to stay at airport hotels.

“Small, cheap, impersonal.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

The hotel OneSixTwo in Westcombe Hill, Greenwich, is advertised as a “boutique hotel”, which to me gives the impression of a fashionable, cosy, and a delightfully intimate alternative to the large impersonal hotel chains; but I think in this case it means small, mean, and short on facilities. Our one-night stay after attending the ballet at the O2 Arena, a very convenient 15 minutes away by the 108 or 472 bus, was booked through laterooms.com and cost £79 for a double plus continental breakfast, not a bad deal for a popular tourist area in London, and benefitted from reasonable reviews from the recent customers. We were however quite disappointed, and for our particular room would not recommend this hotel.
First, the plus points: our room, Number 4, was very quiet and pleasantly warm, and the bed was very comfortable, with a good quality mattress and pillows. The en-suite was adequate with a reasonable size shower, and featured a very modern glass wash basin with single-pillar chrome taps. The continental breakfast included cold meats and cheese slices, plenty of cereals, toast, etc., and we were looked after by a very attentive young lady called Tanya, who like most Londoners from the East End was friendly and chatty and most helpful. We did mention our problems with the room, but she did say she was only the help and that we were given one of the least comfortable rooms in the hotel, and unfortunately she was the only human being we saw during our stay.
So now the bad points: the “hotel” is basically a shop-front nestling between Ye Olde Kebab Shoppe on one side and a hairdressers on the other, and when we arrived at the small doorway to the right of the shop window we were greeted by a computer screen on the wall – no reception, in fact no-one in evidence at all. We entered our details into the touch-screen, rather like confirming a booking at the doctor, and after the computer very generously accepted that we had a pre-paid booking, delivered our keys into a tray below, rather like buying a chocolate bar from a vending machine. Before seeing the computer screen, and expecting to be greeted by some human or other, I had pressed on a small bell-push with a speaker to the left, but no-one responded. One wonders how we would have contacted anyone if there had been a problem with the booking…
The room, just at the top of a narrow flight of stairs, is just too small for two people, and has no drawers into which to unpack. There is a scrappy rail for hanging coats and suits jammed in the corner, and a tiny safe below that, but apart from the very loose narrow shelf under the mirror, and the also very loose shelf by the bed, there is nowhere to even put anything down. The bed is very close to the wall on one side with no space for anything, so for one person no bedside lamp or anywhere to put a travel clock, book, glass of water, etc. Available floor space under the mirror was limited by a rather large Wi-Fi mains plug with aerial, but unfortunately the Wi-Fi had such a poor signal in the room I had to sit on the stairs outside to make an internet connection. The TV was very cheap, and the remote old and worn, so it was difficult to know which button did what. We also found that bizarrely there was no sound on some channels, and reception was pretty rubbish. We also wondered why someone would hang a picture right behind a TV, until (after banging my head on the TV a few times as I passed the end of the bed) we looked underneath and found a big missing patch of wallpaper with damaged plaster, another indication of the general neglect apparent in the room. Finally, the shower is one of the cheaper electrical models with very poor water pressure, so no decent shower either.
There is a small outside roof terrace with table and chairs, presumably for smokers, but there was a very strong smell of pigeon guano wafting across from the festering building next door (the aforementioned kebab shop – not a place that I would recommend patronising), and this explained the mass of anti-pigeon netting above all outside areas.
All in all, we just glad we were only staying one night, although from the reviews from other guests we think there must be much better rooms in the hotel. Just avoid Room 4, though I’m not sure the negotiating capabilities of the computer would be up to a change of room…

Room Tip: Avoid Room 4, although we understand it is due to be refurbished soon.
