It’s a meeting point for the neighborhood and they do all to keep it like this. A living room for everybody and customer
Pros:

I’m totally addicted to shabby chic and style of classic pub culture in Great Britain, and Waterman’s arms is for sure an excellent example for this.

Cons:

All great thank you

Nice room, great breakfast, pleasant neighborhood – ideal for a weekend stay.
Pros:

We spent one night here and were very satisfied! We arrived earlier than the check-in time, but one of the friendly staff members kindly offered to store our backpacks, which was a great help. The room was nice and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and we had a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was included in the price and was freshly prepared in the morning - it was delicious and we had several options to choose from. :) The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, with easy access to public transport (DLR, buses). As two girls traveling, we felt completely safe. I would happily stay here again if I need accommodation in this area!

Cons:

Everything was great, but during the summer heat, the room also got quite warm. The fan helped a lot, and we were able to sleep at night. (There’s no mosquito net on the window, so keeping it open wasn’t really an option.) However, if someone is sensitive to heat, it might be worth considering a different place during the summer. It didn’t bother us, as we didn’t spend much time in the room, and at night we placed the fan close to the bed, which made it perfectly fine for us.

a restful stay away from the hustle and bustle.
Pros:

Lovely English Pub with expanded rooms. Great staff and a good bar menu. Also not too far from the many restaurants in Canary Warf.
While this is well outside the London Mile and takes a little getting to it was easy to find and quiet.
while there was a hot spell, fans were provided so comfort was not an issue.

Cons:

No lift- keep your luggage light.
