Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Good Hotel London is often praised for its modern design and convenient location, especially for events at the Excel Centre and the O2, easily accessible via the nearby cable cars. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms (for London standards) and the inclusion of both UK and EU sockets. While some have found the rooms smaller than expected, the hotel's proximity to public transport, including the Elizabeth Line and DLR station, makes it easy to explore the city, and some rooms feature lovely river views, particularly enjoyable from the rooftop bar.

i stayed in a double room. the communal spaces provided ample room for work and relaxation (the quiet atmosphere was welcome).

the room was ridiculously small. the hairdryer cable was too short to reach the mirror (this made it hard to style my hair).

The location was quite convenient for accessing the excel center. i also appreciated the modern design evident in the public spaces. It presented a very stylish atmosphere. i was particularly pleased that the room featured both uk and eu sockets.

The room size proved to be smaller than i anticipated. the walls seemed quite thin. I could hear noises from adjacent rooms. the window soundproofing was not effective as i heard a lot of outside noise late at night.
