Luxury 2 BR Riverview Ensuite Flat in Greenwich Near O2&Excel
First Impressions
The Luxury 2 BR Riverview Ensuite Flat in Greenwich Near O2&Excel isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually a proper apartment that feels more like staying at a well-connected friend’s place. When I first walked in, I was struck by how much space you get compared to cramped London hotel rooms. The river views are genuine too, not some marketing stretch where you crane your neck to glimpse water between buildings.
The Space and Layout
This four-star apartment really delivers on the two-bedroom promise. Each room has its own ensuite, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re traveling with family or friends — no awkward bathroom scheduling. The kitchen is fully equipped, and I mean actually functional, not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. You can cook real meals here, which is brilliant considering how expensive eating out gets in London.
Location and Getting Around
Being in Greenwich puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close to major attractions but away from the tourist chaos of central London. The O2 Arena is practically on your doorstep — maybe a 10-minute walk — which is perfect if you’re catching a show or event there. Excel London is also nearby, making this place ideal for business travelers who need to be at exhibitions or conferences.
The Greenwich Advantage
What I really love about staying here is how you can explore Greenwich properly. The Royal Observatory and Maritime Museum are walking distance, and honestly, this area has so much character that gets overlooked by tourists rushing between Westminster and Tower Bridge. The DLR connections are excellent too — you’ll reach Canary Wharf in minutes, and getting into central London is straightforward. There’s a decent restaurant scene locally, plus the weekend markets if you want to grab fresh food for the apartment.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.8 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here. You get proper living space, those river views (especially nice in the evening), and the freedom to come and go as you please without hotel lobby formalities. The ensuite setup means everyone gets privacy, and having parking available is actually a big deal in London — most places either don’t offer it or charge ridiculous amounts. It’s particularly good for longer stays when you want to feel settled rather than just passing through.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
