Overview

First Impressions

Two Bed Serviced Apartment by London Docklands sits right in the heart of Canary Wharf’s business district, and honestly, that location tells you everything about what this place is going for. It’s a four-star serviced apartment that feels more like a temporary home than a traditional hotel — which is exactly what you want when you’re staying for more than just a quick weekend. The building itself blends into the sleek glass towers around it, but step inside and you’ll find something refreshingly understated.

Location & Getting Around

Being in London‘s financial district means you’re surrounded by impressive architecture and decent restaurants, though it can feel a bit corporate during the week. What I really appreciate is how connected you are — Royal Victoria DLR station is practically next door, which gets you to central London in about 20 minutes. The area quiets down significantly in the evenings and weekends, which some people love (peaceful) and others find a bit too sterile.

The Space Itself

The two-bedroom setup is genuinely spacious, especially by London standards. Each room has proper storage and decent-sized windows that let in plenty of natural light — something you really notice after staying in cramped hotel rooms elsewhere in the city. The kitchenette is actually functional (not just decorative), with a proper fridge, microwave, and enough counter space to prepare real meals if you want to save money on dining out.

Practical Details

What sets this apart from regular hotels is the attention to longer-stay needs. There’s a washing machine in the unit, which becomes incredibly valuable if you’re here for work or an extended visit. The WiFi is reliable — I mean, it has to be given all the business travelers this place attracts. Parking is available, though at London prices, so factor that into your budget if you’re driving.

Why Guests Appreciate It

You know what really works about this place? It doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s clean, functional, and gives you genuine space to spread out — plus that kitchen means you’re not stuck eating expensive restaurant meals every night. The 7.7 rating reflects exactly what you get: solid, no-nonsense accommodation in a prime location. If you need to be near Canary Wharf for business or just want easy access to central London without the tourist crowds, this serviced apartment delivers on the basics really well.

"Great alternative to a pricey hotel room!"
Great location for our needs and great value for money. The apartment itself was a very comfortable size for 3 people. Communication from staff during check in, check out and during our stay was excellent.
What could be improved: The apartment facilities you could tell are getting a little run down, kettle was a bit leaky, chairs a little wobbly, etc. but nothing major. Sheets and towels were clean but the floors were a bit dirty.

"Good"
Great location, very close to metro stops.
What could be improved: Cleanliness of the apartment at a very low level, faulty equipment. When booking, I chose a large apartment with a balcony, I got an apartment three times smaller without a balcony.

"Had a great short break and easy access to ComicCom"
Friendly reception on arrival. Excellent location. Good transport links. Good restaurants within 5 minute walk.
What could be improved: We needed to ask for an appartment with a sofabed even though this was what we had booked. Instructions for key pick up were sent whilst we were travelling and unable to access the message. The day before would be better. Some furnishings needed repairing.
