Great place to stay for getting to O2, staff were fab, able to park our car and do early check in which was appreciated. Only negatives were the bed was a very small double and room so warm we had the window open so woke up to the overground train noise. Would book again but bring earbuds.

I’ve stayed at The Ark at Canary Wharf for extended periods and keep coming back, which probably says everything. I’ve been staying here on and off since November last year, often for months at a time, and the experience has consistently been excellent. The staff are always welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful, which makes a huge difference when you’re somewhere long-term rather than just passing through. The building itself is well maintained, comfortable, and in a great location, but what really stands out is the level of service and the atmosphere the team creates. I’ve stayed in plenty of places around London and this is one of the few where you actually feel looked after. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say, and that’s rare. If you’re considering staying here, I’d highly recommend it.

Very welcoming ladies at the front desk, the budget studio are good enough for one nigh or two. Some studio are more noisy than others, the DLR line impact. It was clean and very secured, the maintenance man need a team !

Well it was great value and not far from Canary Wharf. Staff very nice. But bed wasn’t a double and not very comfy and tv didn’t work but it was late so I didn’t to be fair go and ask to get fixed. Just a bit annoying. Gym looked good but didn’t look at pool. It was super cheap for an easy night and Elizabeth line just a short walk straight into town.

The swimming pool is really great. The only thing I was not pleased about was that I was in a box room when I opened the blind; I was looking into somebody's kitchen. So I could not open the blind through out the stay. The reception is clean and feels welcoming.

The best thing about the stay was the pool and jacuzzi. I had to move 3 rooms as they had multiple issues such as base boards broken and bad TV connectivity. The staff were helpful but there were some inconveniences.
