I booked a room with a balcony, and had a nice view overlooking the carpark!! lovely!! There is not much near the hotel so i would only really recommend this hotel if you are going to the O2 or Excel. I would not make a special trip! Plus points - Clean, spacious room. minibar well stocked and not too expensive and the bed and sofa were extremely comfortable. Shower was nice and powerful. bad points. Needs a bit of TLC. Fake cold rimming is peeling off in the bathroom and the plastic bathroom is a bit of a let down. The hotel smelt a little of stagnant water, but that is to be expected bearing in mind where it is!! basically, good bet if you have to be in that area, but it is not somewhere i would make a special trip to, and it is not as plush as it should be for the price!!

I stayed here with my boyfriend and thought it was lovely, the rooms were very big and had a curtain to divide up the bed from the sofa area. The big mirror in front of the bed was also a plus and the decor and whole room in general was luxurious. The window was overlooking the sea and was a nice view. However there is abosultely nothing to do around here so i would suggest entertaining yourselves. Its nice sitting and relaxing on the deck and the piano bar is also nice to sit in. It was a different and unique hotel/yacht and is definitely worth trying out. The big downside is the location as it is very secluded but it is also the price. It is expensive to stay here and as there was nowhere else to eat my boyfriend suggested we eat at the restaurant provided by the hotel. This was the biggest joke as it was extremely expensive with minute meals it was a waste of money as we were still hungry, and all the meals we had ordered were tiny portions and not filling. The bar is also expensive so in general the value for money is poor and the location is also poor. However it is definitely worth experiencing for one night.

Just been to London for the weekend and were delighted to find the Sunborn. Having read the reviews we arrived with some trepidation. We had a dodgy first night with a high pitched sound emitting from the air conditioning but had complementary breakfast the next day. We were moved to an executive room the next day at no extra charge and had two brilliant days here. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and getting into London on the DLR/ thames clipper from O2 was easy and enjoyable. Recommend this highly and we'll stay here again if possible.

my partner and i have just returned from seeing the eagles in london O2. we stayed at the sunborn on our 2nd and 3rd nights. it is quite a place. we travelled by train so used the underground and the docklands light railway to get thereit took about 30mins from kings cross, it is next to the excel exhibition centre with the station being only 100yds away, but there is loads of parking if going by car. we stayed in a deluxe room with balcony. the bed was massive. it had a large shower, (no bath bit of dissapointment to me i like a bath). it had all the things you would expect mini bar, internet access tv etc. we stopped room only, we did not have breakfast as we thought it was rather excessive at ?13-50 each. we had one problem. on the 1st night there was party on board, which led to a lot of noise from the party guests, the staff did try to to keep a lid on the noise to there credit, but without much success. so we did not get to sleep until 3-30am. on leaving we did mention this, and the guy on the reception had been on duty on the night so new what had gone on, he contacted the duty manager, with out prompting, and to our surprise we had ?30 knocked off the bill, and were offered a free breakfast each. apart from that incident i would recommend the hotel it was very good.

Just spent 3 nights at the Sunborn the rooms are very spacious and well equipped but slightly hot! The yacht is so beautiful a bit of a trip into london but on the DLR it means you get to see some of london other than the inside of the underground, parking a bargain at ?10 highly recommended will be going back
