The location was convenient. I found that the O2 was within easy walking distance from the hotel. Breakfast was wonderful. The staff prepared it with care, and ingredients tasted very fresh.
The staircase was narrow. I found it difficult to carry my luggage up to my room. The television did not work consistently. I think the WiFi signal was too weak to support streaming.

the hotel was super close to the o2 arena, i could even see it from my window! the staff was really kind. jada and teagan at the restaurant were especially awesome (i loved their service). the breakfast had lots of options, and everything tasted great.
the corridors to the rooms are a bit narrow, so i could hear some noise from other guests in the morning. it was a minor issue, but something to be aware of.
