Hotel classification – 4 star hotel 

General Info – One night stay in double room with continental breakfast

A ground (6/10) – The Britannia International Hotel within Canary Wharf is situated on the water's edge of the London Docklands with superb views of the London Skyline. The O2 Arena, Greenwich and the West End of London are all within easy reach.

Reception (5/10) – Standard reception and services

Bedroom (6/10) – The hotel has 442 large air-conditioned rooms with en suite as standard. Rooms on the upper floors offer spectacular views of the Thames and the London skyline, but in the day time you can hear the dockland light rail pass nearby. Rooms were of a classical style rather than modern, and the bathroom was not the best quality for a 4 star hotel  

A hotel facility (4/10) – The hotel has three restaurants, including a late opening pizzeria. Breakfast was severed between 7 -11 a.m. but turned out to be two tired, a main room with English breakfast, but that was an additional cost. Ours was in a separate room for continental breakfast; most of the food however was on the stale side.

There is also the Conservatory Bar which offers an ambient atmosphere with views of the waterside. Finally there was a fully equipped Leisure Club offers features a swimming pool, sauna and state of the art gym.

Value for money (5/10) – cost £83 per night

Overall 26/50 = 52%
