A rubbish hotel. Living off its location close to the heart of Canary wharf. It mops up business travellers like me without trying too hard.
I'm guessing the decor was installed during the heyday of the rapid rise of the area, when tacky faux gold plated everything would have been considered opulent. The flock wall paper and the vomit inducing carpets look like they have been dreamt up during one of Oscar Wildes more camp moments.
The room was shabby.
The staff were, however, polite and efficient.
I paid GBP239 for a basic double room. A thoroughly ridiculous price for a poor hotel.

The hotel was excellent. I went there in July 2005 with my sister. It was not our option, but we were removed because our original hotel was close to the subway station blowed in a terrorist attack. The hotel received us perfectly. Very efficient check-in and check-out. The only problems were: a) if we wanted to make a phone call we should leave a guarantee in the amount of GBP 750, as well to use the safe box; b) the continental breakfast, although very clean, had a bad taste: you should choose the british breakfast to eat better. The hotel is far from center but half a mile from a huge commercial center and from train/subway stations. Generally, is an excellent choice.

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever had the misfortune to stay in.
It is only about 15 years old but it is in terrible condition.
The air conditioning in the first room I was offered did not work; after speaking with the manager I was offered an upgrade to a slightly cooler room. However, chatting to the concierge I found out that the air conditioning in the hotel just cannot cope when it is busy. Top tip: get a room with an easterly view so that you don't get the sun heating up the room in the evening.
The bed had a mattress that was ruined, and the cover was stained. Overall the room was not very clean and it was a depressing place to spend any time in.
This hotel is cheap but other budget hotels offer a far superior product.

Looking for hotel as was attending an event at the O2 Arena and found the Britannia International Hotel on hotelstayuk.com. The rate was highly competitive, the location was great and it comes highly recommended!
Will book again.

Hotel is nice, clean and has lovely views of Canary Wharf. If you are visiting London from outside UK, I wouldn't reccommend it as you will have to find local tube links and at night this could be difficult. It is niced to stay near Christmas as it is close to the Canary Wharf Ice Rink.
Hotel itself is comfort and plesant. I wouldn't pay more than ?80 a night though, as you can get better hotels in the Centre of the West End.
