I had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel.The location is ideal with so much to do and see very close by.I used the Spa and it was of good quality and very enjoyable/relaxing.Staff very good and room was superb with a breathtaking view of the Thames.I only have one criticism and that is not of the hotel or my stay.I left an item in the room, my fault completely. However I rang the hotel to get some help and they said they would ring me back and failed to do so which was disappointing and that is why I have only given 3 star for service.

I stay in hotels well north of 50 nights a year and rarely stay anywhere outside of the Hilton group of hotels but am glad I did venture beyond this time! The IC at the O2 is a quality product. It's not cheap at all but it is worth it. The service was unfailingly polite throughout. The standard rooms are well appointed. Wonderful bed, lovely bathroom with separate bath and shower (with good water pressure) and nice and quiet. Great range of TV channels too and everything works. Light switches are simple to work out and plug sockets easily accessible. Breakfast is excellent but for me the only area that is a bit of a let down is the gym. The water cooler does not cool at all and water comes out woefully slowly. The workout towels are tiny and could do with being bigger and there is no real way of cleaning down equipment after use etc. but in the scheme of it all, all small things. The hotel has its own short tunnel into the O2 so access is wonderful.

Love this hotel. Got here on business-vacation trip. The location is awesome for those who want to come for the golf or the O2 performances. We had a bra view over the water. They also have parking. The service is perfect, kind staff and service throughout all of our stay. Breakfast was perfect with such generous variety of dishes taking so many dietary things in consideration. We will definitely return to this hotel.

Perfect location for a winter getaway situated right next to the O2 with a connecting path and corridor from the hotel. Cleanness was excellent and friendly staff. Spacious rooms with a Bath and shower. You normally only get a shower 🤩Shame the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed on a Monday and the other fully booked and the sauna was not working. Thank you for redeeming yourselves in other ways to help us enjoy our anniversary.The summit taking place next door consumed our stay, sadly. They were everywhere and even took over half the bar for a private function. External building works were interesting to watch but we should have been notified on arrival of this.PLEASE BOOK THE RESTAURANT ON ARRIVAL to avoid the disappointment we experienced.Breakfast selection was unbelievably good. So much choice.Overall a 8/10 hotel.

An exquisite hotel. We visited for the afternoon tea at the Kinaara restaurant, created by the winners of the Great British Bake Off Professionals. The food was phenomenal with a huge array of included teas. The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, recommending different teas for different courses. Although the portions appear small, after the savoury course, we were both starting to feel full so we were only able to try half of each of the sweets. However the waiter was quick to provide a takeaway box for us. The cost was absolutely appropriate for the amount and quality of the food and service. Highly recommended.

Our second visit in a month. Yes we liked this hotel. From the spacious rooms with river views to the excellent breakfast, this hotel excelled. The pool and steam room were also great for a relaxing hour or so. There's a handy walkway to the O2 in the hotel as well.And to cap it all, the rooms were cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express down the road. The staff were friendly, attentive and very good at their jobs.

This hotel has a great location, really close to North Greenwich tube and great if you’re going to a gig at the O2. The London skyline view from the 1st floor bar is excellent (the rooftop bar was closed when we were there).Breakfast is superb, they cater for lots of dietary requirements and the staff are so attentive and efficient. We ordered our teas, blinked, and they were there on our table. There was so much choice for breakfast and they were constantly refilling it. The staff asked us how our breakfast was in a really genuine way wanting to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast staff delivered by far the best service I’ve ever had in a hotel, and I’ve been to lots of hotels!

When we arrived at our room, I was let down by the view as we paid for a high floor deluxe river view room. After discussing this with reception they offered us to go see a room with a river view on the 13th floor. Which was much better and the view was beautiful. The customer service was great throughout. The breakfast was very nice and alot of variety plus great drinks. The spa was nice unfortunately the sauna is currently being renovated. We decided to go up to the sky bar, the drinks were great. And then after we ordered room service and the salmon was delicious as was the tiramisu.

Stayed here for a concert at the Indigo 02Beautiful hotel ! Rooms were clean and lovely , staff were amazing freindly and extremely helpful !You even have your own walkway to the 02 / shopping centre, literally a 4 min walk !Breakfast was fantastic with loads of choices hot and cold , food was lovely too100 % stay again especially for the convenience of getting to and from the 02Editing this review as paid a £100 deposit on arrival and they have took £37 of it , I know it's not a lot but there was absolutely no reason for it room was left as it was when arrived ,mini bar was not used ! Breakfast was inc in price so I'm at a loss as to why they have kept £37 !!!!!Read some reviews and this seems to be a thing tbf , I've emailed them so far no response ! This is the only thing that really let's this hotel down !Edited again saying we took £37 worth from mini bar when wasn't touchedAbsolutely appalling customer services onlineThink they should invest in cameras on there mini bars to stop incidents like this occurringwhat was a fabulous stay has now put me off returning againI know some will say it's only £37 but it's my money took for something we did not use !So be careful when staying hereI'd take pictures of everything and time and date stamp it
