ARK Canary Wharf
My experience at the Canary Ark Hotel was very disappointing and did not meet my expectations. The room was extremely small, and the bed was in poor condition it felt unstable, made a lot of noise with any movement, and sank in the middle, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. Overall cleanliness ...

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East
Lovely room, large bathroom and comfortable bed. Pillows quite soft so could do with a second set. Onsite restaurant had good food although menu had some inconsistencies with allergens
