Horrible
Pros:

Location is convenient and the key reason we chose this property

Cons:

Absolutely worn-out hotel. We stayed for one night and were completely misled by both the 8.2 rating and the price — for the same money, you can get far better places in central London. We should have trusted the 1-star reviews, because they were accurate.

The hotel is shabby, the towels should have been replaced years ago, and the soundproofing is non-existent. There is no sound insulation in either the doors or the windows.

The worst part was the noise. Flags hanging directly outside the windows were banging against them all night in the wind, making sleep absolutely impossible. We are not particularly sensitive and normally sleep without any issues, but here we did not get a single hour of sleep. Even noise-cancelling headphones did not help.

This is clearly not a new issue — other reviews mention the same thing — but management seems happy to ignore it. We had specifically asked for a quiet room, yet were placed in the noisiest possible location, despite the hotel having other rooms available.

If you care at all about sleep, avoid this place. A truly awful stay and one of the worst hotel experiences we have had.

A Great Find!
Pros:

Great location, close to The Royal Observatory, Greenwich, The Horniman Museum and Dulwich Picture Gallery. Restaurants close by, easy parking at the hotel, but road parking available too. The staff are friendly, the room was a generous size with a comfortable bed and it is the cleanest hotel I've stayed in for a while. Breakfast was very good too. We will definitely stay again. For those interested it is also close to the O2 arena.

Cons:

This is a minor issue, all pillows were a bit hard. If we'd been staying longer I may have asked for a softer one, or brought my own.

Nicht (mehr) zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Etwas weiter draußen, aber gut angebunden, ruhiger, durch die riesige öffentliche Grünfläche davor sogar ein bisschen ländlich.
Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend.
Der Zimmerservice war meist gut. Es war sauber.

Cons:

Wir hatten eine Executive Suite (!) für 7 Tage für >1,5k €. Dafür bekommt man: Sehr schlechtes Wi-fi (WLAN), ein absolut alten und altmodischen Raum, die Kinder ein ziemlich abgenutztes Schlafsofa, 1 Stuhl für alle, von 3 Fenstern war ein großes Fenster 1-fach verglast (1 Glas!) und hat total gezogen (so dass bei Wind der Vorhang wackelt, wir haben davon ein Video). Die Heizung war total laut, so dass man ohne Oropax nicht schlafen konnte, man brauchte aber die Heizung, weil es so kalt war.
Der Raum war nach oben super hellhörig und wir hatten 3 Tage eine Hochzeitsgesellschaft über uns, die an einem Tag um 05:45 Uhr starteten. Man versteht jedes Wort, welches oben auf normaler Lautstärke gesprochen wird!
Das Schlimmste: Das Badezimmer: Winzig für 4 Leute, kaputte Duschtasse, Farbspritzer überall vom letzten Überstrich, übrig gelassener Mörtel, ganz schlimme Silikon-Nähte überall (das kann jeder Heimwerker besser), die schon wieder nach dem letzten Makeover dreckig waren, ein winziges Waschbecken mit wackeligen Armaturen und eine wackelige Kloschüssel.
2x hat der Zimmerservice den Duschvorleger zusammengerollt in die noch vom morgendlichen Duschen nasse Dusche gelegt, sodass dieser dann für uns völlig durchweicht wurde.
Alles ist sehr schade, da wir vor 20 Jahren schon mal hier waren, da war es (noch) gut. So ist es für den aufgerufenen Preis absolut nicht mehr zu empfehlen.

Excellent
Pros:

Perfect location for anyone planning to visit Greenwich—everything is close by. The breakfast is amazing, the staff are very friendly, and the room was very comfortable, clean, and had a nice view of the city.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like about the hotel—everything was perfect.
