Nice stay 100% satisfaction
Really lovely stay, shame it was only the one night. Lovely room, friendly staff and the pub had a really nice vibe. Parking outside the property was a real positive. The area around the property is really good to explore and we would like to return fo4 another trip.

I’m not a massive review writer, but thought I’d go out of my way to leave one for this place - our stay was perfect! Staff were all friendly, breakfast was tasty and came quickly, bed was really comfortable, plenty of space in the car park, modern and clean bathroom, very convenient location. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay - we will definitely be coming back here in future! We went to a concert at the O2 and it’s such a convenient location (5-10 minute walk away). The actual hotel is very quiet despite all the people leaving the venue. Once we got in and went to bed we didn’t hear a peep from outside! Check in and check out process was also super quick and easy. Couldn’t fault the place at all. The only teeny tiny thing we noticed was dust in the cupboards but the room was clean and the bathroom was clean so we can’t complain. Overall, a very good stay and we will definitely be back!

Attentive service and great breakfast
Excellent service, friendly staff, fantastic breakfast. Sleep interrupted by offsite building type noise. I was also a lot longer than the bed in the cabin room.

Great O2 bolt-hole
Used the Pilot as an O2 Arena overnight “bolt hole” to avoid a late night commute home. For which it is more than ideal. Some maybe put off by the price, but it is good value and convenient for the North Greenwich peninsula. The deluxe double rooms are a fair size with interestingly themed rooms (ours had framed ‘Eagle’ comic covers and Anthony Buckeridge ‘Jennings’ paperbacks). All the rooms have clocks on their doors, set to the hour of their room-number. All are fairly well appointed with USB-2 and C sockets. We had an Iron, a hairdryer, artisan (Nespresso) coffee capsules and bags. But only one tea bag to share. The bathroom and toilet are very snug (tight) but fully functional which was ok. The rooms are split across the first and second floor, above the Pilot public house. There is both an internal (from the pub) and private (opens out to the street) staircase, so entry after closing time is possible with a swipe card key at the end of the evening. Although I did not use it, there was ample car parking (included in my rate) which was great. But I did not see any EV charging facilities (as of April 2024). We did not try the pub bar food (had a concert to attend), but it looked popular and of a good standard. But breakfast (included in my rate) was great. They just kept running out of tea bags, tea bags, toast and pastries. If you are going to the O2 Arena, consider this for your accommodation, but book ahead and early if possible.
