Ever been to a place that's clean, comfortable and functional etc, but just didn't feel over the moon to be staying there? Unfortunately, that's what I had with the 'sleeps four' apartment at Fraser Place. Don't get me wrong, it's clean, it's comfortable, the staff are great, and it's in a great location (if you're looking for canary wharf) - but it kinda felt like staying in a cheap new-build apartment. Ok, there were downsides, like a bust toilet lock and window in the second bedroom (so we came 'home' to find the window wide open and the curtains flailing (a nice security risk/feature) which does obviously taint my opinion a little - but it comes down to the thought that as functional and 'standard' as it was - to be honest, I'd have been happier paying the same money for a one room hotel than for a two bedroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room apartment. And believe me, I'm tight with money - that kinda statement doesn't come cheap (forgive the pun). From what I'm told, the more expensive apartments are a lot better than the ?179 (ish) a night two bedroom apartments - and hopefully they're higher up too (our bedroom was RIGHT next to the walkway from the round (imagine pounding feet one metal at 7 in the morning - and also right next to the road (which, as Canary Wharf has increased security, means a LOT of traffic outside your room from half 6 till 10 in the morning. Of course, it could have been worse, we could have been in the room with the window that opened on its own - THAT could have been a lot noisier... Like I said, staff were great - friendly, helpful (well, they tried to help with the open window thing, but didn't know how to fix it) and the lobby/bar area was great, but between stained carpets in the hallways, and that new build/too many people have been through here smell - it felt a bit like being in student accomadation (where the rooms were nicer than a student hall of course). If asked, I wouldn't go back - but I wouldn't go back on the caveat that if the more expensive rooms weren't a) broken, b) a bit smelly, c) noisy - I'd stay in them. But for sure, room 210 wouldn't be my return destination for London.

We really enjoyed our 1 night stay here in November. We had a 2 bedroom deluxe apartment for 6 girls and had a very comfortable stay. You have everything you needed in kitchen, bathrooms etc..The apartments are around a 10 minutes walk from the Canary Wharf tube station and reception were very helpful giving us directions to the station. We booked these apartments as we were going to a concert at the O2 arena, this is only one stop on the tube, so very handy. Also not too bad location for central London. You are able to leave your bags with the apartments reception before and after check in/out. Would highly recommend these apartments, much nicer than staying in a hotel and more fun!! Just wished we had stayed for another night or two!

Me and my buddy recently spent two nights at this property; renting a two bedroom super deluxe apartment. Very friendly booking agents, and quite flexible when changing our dates. We picked Canary Wharf due to its proximity to O2, where we were the two of the lucky ones to see Led Zeppelin's reunion. Check in was flawless; the building was immaculate and our apartment was just about perfect. The only complaints were that the master bath had no shower (the second bath did); and it is a bit of a walk from the Canary Wharf Tube station. Just make sure you get your bearings upon exiting the tube as its a bit confusing to figure out which way to go on the initial arrival. And its not cheap, but neither is London. While there aren't alot of good activities in the area, jumping on the tube can put you anywhere in london in about 20-30 minutes. I would suggest getting a pre-arranged car to pick you up and drop you off to Heathrow - the tube ride would require several stops and about 2 hours. The hotel will arrange for you. The staff was accomodating, but a bit aloof. All in all, if you want to be close to Canary wharf or O2 Arena, this is a good choice if you can afford it.

We stayed here for 2 weeks and had a great time. Completly self contained apartment complete with ironing board, cutlery, dishes, pots, dish washer, washing machine, tv, radio, etc.
