You Pays Your Money, You Takes Your Choice
Given the price, the location was close to the areas I needed to be. If you are paying for a budget room, the condition will be passable at best. If I could not find any other hotels in this area I would stay again, but I will look elsewhere first.

A place to book when everywhere else is full or ridiculously expensive. Functional low end hotel. Room was clean, water was hot, staff were helpful, breakfast was adequate. Pretty basic, small rooms. Not much going on in neighborhood.
Stayed two nights visiting London for a show, the hotel is a two minute walk from Shadwell DLR so very convenient.
Breakfast was fine each morning, something for everyone.

Little love needed
I’ve stay here multiple times and different rooms. The room I had this time really needs some love. Room it self is ok new blinds needed and lock on windows. The bathroom is really big but let down by how clean it is. Also broken floor tiles that could easy cut your feet. Hair dryer cord is damage didn’t use as looked unsafe. Shower screen hard to open was worried it would break. Toilet seat loose. Bed was fine nice and clean and slept well. No fan in this room. Tv has had better days.
Stay here before other rooms was fine.
Breakfast is fine for what it is.
This is not a moan more don’t expect 5 stars for the price.
For the price and the location so close to tube station i found it easily worth my money.staff were friendly..helpful .the breakfast was simple but fed me well. I will be returning!

Dockside - good value for the money
For the money (£117) this hotel did what we needed for the night. 5 mins from DLR & overground. Not really a tourist area & some would dubious about staying in this area, but hey we wanted a cheap hotel (father & son) , out drinking both days ,watching Sunderland at Wembley & Brighton at Spurs ⚽️❤️⚽️💙 The hotel allowed us to leave our overnight bag with them on both days, thanks for that 😁
Entered using door bell, there was a friendly reception who welcomed us. We were handed over our room key. The room was small in size, as expected being in London, with a double bed and ensuite washroom. There were toiletries but we did not receive any towels unfortunately. There was a closet but one lock was broken. The bed was clean with some stain marks on the bed sheets (not sure what they were exactly). Overall, the room was satisfactory.
The attraction was the included breakfast. Most food items were supermarket purchased but the inclusion of the breakfast is an excellent thought.
This hotel is one of the worst hotel in England. The Receptionist is very rude in communicating with us. He very unprofessional and the matters smells very bad. Per night I paid 70 pounds. Just by beliving expedia review. Please dont stay there any one reading my review
There are nice hotels
I was guided wrong way by expedia
This hotel doesn't even deserve a star
Amazing and the staff/manager was so helpful and lovely . The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly. The bathroom was lovely with a good size shower.
Great location. Basic room but decent breakfast. Fine for the price. Aome have said rooms are dirty but mine wasnt, just some mould in bathroom.

Dockside Hotel
It was okay. Receptionist was pleasant. The room was tidy (though carpet was worn, also ripped undeneath the window). The bathroom was modern and excellent, with a good supply of essentials with a modern radiator. The TV couldn't be operated as was pixated, giving a code.
The room was cold at night as the radiator was permanently turned off. The window required curtains as only blinds available which did not close properly so had light coming in throughout the night. The room key couldn't lock the door whilst out of the room which was a concern, so I had to go for breakfast with my bag/valuables.
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. The setting was welcoming and with lovely breafast options available - THANK YOU
