Convenient and Well-Appointed Stay

private walkway excellent breakfast spacious room helpful staff
The location is very convenient, especially because of the private walkway to the venue. The breakfast was excellent. There was a lot of choice. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. I found it well kept. Every staff member i encountered was pleasant and helpful.
I noticed a strong smell of meat being grilled in the open kitchen. It wasn't too bad, but it's worth mentioning if you dislike that smell.

broken tv flooded room
the location was acceptable due to its proximity to the o2 arena.
i was really annoyed that the fire alarm woke me up and utter chaos followed. the tv also didn't work in the room. the shower seal barely existed, so the room pretty much flooded (i think it's unacceptable).

Acceptable Location, Some Issues

ripped carpet down phone system
The location is convenient for events at the O2 (that was the main reason I booked it).
The carpet in my room had a clearly visible ripped section (I noted this in a photo). The hotel phone system was also down so making requests was difficult. I asked for ice seven times for a medical issue but could not get it.
