Pros:

The location was nice if you are staying on the east side of London and Greenwich.

Cons:

The room is in a slant. The lights in the room only lit the area by the door. The bed was on wheels so when you go to sit down it can roll away from you.

Really great place, would stay again.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Water bottle provided in room and staff were happy to refill many times. Bed was very comfortable. Great facilities, coffee/tea in room, large powerful shower and hairdryer.
I stayed for London Marathon weekend (Fri & Sat) and just wanted to chill in the room before the big race. Breakfast was very good on Sat, unfortunately I had to leave before breakfast on Sunday. Food being served in the pub looked very tastey although I didn't try it - no pasta options :)
Location is really close to both DLR (Island Gardens) and the Greenwich foot tunnel. Easy to get the Excel to pickup race number and Greenwich for race start.

Cons:

The only issue I had was that my room (3) was by the aircon or kitchen fan outlet and it was quite noisy. Although I did get used to it by the second day. It was only on while the pub was open, stopped at 11pm, so was ok during the night and it did block out other noises.

Nothing! The property was great, would’ve loved to try the included breakfast as kitchen was closed but other than that it was perfect

Pros:

Great location for Greenwich, no road noise and quiet neighbourhood. Staff pleasant and included breakfast was good.

Cons:

Faulty shower, no remote for the TV, and small bed. The route, doors and locks to use when returning late were not great either. Not a bad place but quite tired and in need of some tlc.
