Good Hotel London

Waterfront Vibes and Concert-Ready Comfort at Good Hotel London

Modern and minimal with a social conscience, Good Hotel London floats on the River Thames in East London—literally. This repurposed Dutch floating hotel brings industrial-chic design, panoramic rooftop views, and a warm, community-first vibe to the Docklands. Just a short stroll from the ExCeL Centre and minutes from London City Airport, it’s an ideal base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action.
Every room is thoughtfully styled with custom-made furniture, fluffy down pillows, modern bathrooms, and either city or water views. While you won’t find TVs here, free WiFi, tea-making facilities, and a comfortable work desk make up for it. Plus, your stay supports local training and international education programs—so you can feel good while sleeping well.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. It's less than a 5-minute walk to gigs at ExCeL and a short ride to venues around Canary Wharf and the O2. The surrounding area is quiet at night, offering a peaceful wind-down after a loud show. With 24-hour front desk service, flexible arrivals are a breeze. The rooftop terrace is a laid-back spot to recap the night, and the communal guest lounge adds to the friendly, open vibe.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a unique stay with a social twist
• Solo travelers catching a long-awaited show
• Couples wanting a romantic riverside weekend
• Fans seeking peace and quiet post-concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and impact

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Living Room serves locally sourced food and drinks all day, with plenty of healthy options. The coffee corner is perfect for a pre-show pick-me-up or a post-night-out flat white. While there’s no formal restaurant, the area is packed with walkable eateries and casual bites. Expect a solid breakfast offering even after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the rooftop bar (weather permitting) is a scenic spot to kick off your evening with a drink overlooking the Thames. Bars and lounges in nearby Canary Wharf and the O2 area are just a short ride away for those who want to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s unique floating design, friendly staff, and social mission. The clean, modern rooms and quiet location consistently get high marks, especially from travelers attending events at ExCeL. Many say it feels like “more than just a hotel”—it’s an experience.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re used to in-room entertainment, the lack of TVs might be a surprise. Some guests mention the rooms are on the small side, and the rooftop bar closes in bad weather. But most agree the style and purpose more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show at ExCeL or nearby and want a cool, quiet stay with a cause, Good Hotel London hits all the right notes.
