Dockside Hotel

Very good

Avoid avoid avoid

Liked: Nothing the hotel was dirty and nothing worked
Disliked: I’ve come away with over 50 bed bug bites

Good place for a short...

Liked: Was a bit worried due to the mixed reviews, but it worked out well for us. We had a twin room, it was tiny but tidy. Bedding was crisp and clean, and the small fan was lifesaving in the heatwave. The bathroom was clean too, toiletries available. Breakfast was a good selection of English and continental, with fresh fruit as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location was ideal, one stop from Tower hill.
Disliked: The room facing the street was noisy until late, a few more racks would be nice in the cupboard. The shower leaks a bit in the corner, and water runs down very slowly, a good cleaning of the drain is probably required.

Pleasant

Just OK

Liked: The place and location were OK no better no worse than expected.
Disliked: It could have been cleaner and the breakfast could hev been better.

Pleasant place, friendly and helpful...

Liked: Staff were brilliant and so friendly
Disliked: Just a bit basic, room was a little stuffy and noise from the road throughout the night

Cheap and not so cheerful...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Small , hot room , felt dirty .Left night early had to find alternative accomodation. Paid for breakfast but couldn't face eating there , photos really didn't reflect out stay !!

Good location but unconformable

Liked: Location was good and it was the cheapest hotel around.
Disliked: The bed was very uncomfortable, bad mattress and tilted to one side so it was like I was going to fall off. The shower sinkhole was overflowing and where one puts the soap, it was very mouldy. The kettle can only be boiled on the floor as the lead was too short.I didn't try the breakfast but have read other reviews saying there were hygiene issues. I don't know if its been improved on that front. Staff were pleasant but their command of the English language varies depending on who's working.

Disappointing and won't return

Liked: Friendly staff. Price was ok
Disliked: Hotel was tired. Bathroom had broken tiles, poorly sealed fittings, basin that didn't drain properly, bathroom roof was slanted, so I couldn't stand at the toilet. Noisy portable air-conditioning unit. Broken window blinds. Door lock was dodgy and old fashioned. Didn't feel safe. More like a house of multiple occupation
