This hotel will live long in your memory for all the right reasons, it starts before you arrive! They provide a messaging platform asking if you have any special requirements etc. Already you see by their reply that these people want to please. If you want a building that is full of character and history this charming Art Deco structure will tick the boxes with its wonderfully sympathetic decor. If cleanliness is high on your checklist, then no concerns here. Dining room oozing decor and ambience of times of blues music and more relaxed days. Food obviously cooked from scratch to a high standard and breakfast made to order, no dying buffets here, wonderfully fresh pastries cooked on site, perfect. Bar, ultra relaxing, amazing decor to reflect the site's overall ambience and outside terrace for warmer weather. Bedroom full of character with dockside view and full of comfort features and fixtures and fittings that upheld the theme. Very comfortable beds, large shower with rain forest and adaptable heads, supported by quality toiletries. Wonderful. All this 4 star offering would be great, but what makes this hotel stand out are the staff. I have NEVER come across better! If you want bowing and scraping by smartly uniformed, insincere and probably bored staff, this is not for you. What is on offer here are a team of young people who greet you with genuine interest and warmth. You realise straight away that they want you to walk away feeling that they have done everything in their power to make you leave feeling "wow, that was amazing". All the staff we encountered exceeded our expectations. I don't know what their recrui**ent processes are, please keep on doing it. I speak from vast experience, the ethos in this establishment is definitely customer first, every time, without exception. Add to that a lovely quiet location in the Eastern Docklands, only a 2 min walk to a 10 minute tram ride (no 26) to Central Station. Buy 1, 2 or 3 day tram ticket and tap on entry or same with your credit card for single journey. Thank you Hoxton Lloyd. You hoped my visit would be memorable and it truly was, simply wonderful. You deserve numerous accolades.
