More about Devonport House
Excellent location, friendly staff and value for money
by TripAdvisor Member chessiepops
We stayed here in April 2007 on a quick visit to London to see a show. We stayed in Greenwich as we also wanted to visit the Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory. The Devonport Hotel was a lovely place to spend the night. It has a fabulous location in the centre of Greenwich right next door to the park. It has excellent parking and extremely friendly and helpful staff. The rooms aren't huge but are well appointed and comfortable. Clean and airy with a good bathroom. Our room also had a pleasant view. Breakfast was plentiful and good. It was easy to get to the West End by simply catching the river taxi. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night and we are trying to find an excuse to revisit Devonport House again soon.
Excellent hotel
by TripAdvisor Member CAR13
Stayed at the Devonport House for three nights in August to see a couple of concerts at the O2. Location - excellent, on top of the Royal Park, Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory (and Cutty Sark once the renovations are completed). Parking - free, which is a real bonus for London. Room - average size, spotlessly clean and good bathroom. Food - can only comment on breakfast which was excellent, hot buffet was actually hot and staff very friendly.
Only slight complaint was mistake on the bill when when we checked out, but this was quickly amended.
Easy 15 minute bus ride to the O2, or about £8-£10 in a taxi. Super little pub round the corner called the King's Arms for good food.
very friendly staff, good food and high standards

Although this is undoubtedly primarily a conference centre, I found that the hotel side of it worked very well indeed. All the staff were friendly, quick, efficient and courteous. My room was quiet, spotlessly clean, well furnished and comfortable and I enjoyed an excellent dinner - at a very good price! I was here to do some work for the University of Greenwich and the hotel is right on the doorstep. It is 5 minutes walk from Cutty Sark DLR station, providing easy access to Canary Wharf and the city of London. I will certainly go back there - and this time I might actually get the chance to see something of Greenwich's rich history!
excellent!

we had the chance of a very low price weekend tariff (50 pounds a day the double room, breakfast included) and decided to stay there, though not so near to london town. Anyway Greenwich is interesting and beautiful place, well connected to london through DLR. the hotel location is really excellent, almost inside the Greenwich Park and the Royal Naval college.
Our room was a good size, luminous with two windows, an excellent double bed and new furniture, with useful facilities. The bathroom was also large enough. We had not a particularly nice view, but some rooms have wiev on the park.
The room and the hotel is really clean and comfortable. English breakfast really good. We also had dinner there once, and is was a good one and not particularly expensive.
Staff was really kind and friendly.
I don't know if we would have chosen that hotel if more expensive, but now that we've been there I say that I would certainly pay the double (even more, if we could afford it).
Great Location

Very good location in the heart of Greenwich and better value than the Novotel (which is also very good).
The advantage was easy car parking and you have easy access to public transport into London (by DLR).
Room was clean and spacious and staff friendly and helpful. I will use it again if driving into this part of London.
Simply Wonderful
by TripAdvisor Member riverboy115
Excellent staff, excellent room, excellent location, I will return!
From check in to check out my stay at this hotel was wonderful, I checked in with my partner early just after mid day not expecting to find a room availble, however we were given a spacious room that was clean and comfortable on the 4th floor.
Reception staff were polite, attentative and friendly.
Breakfast was a delight and again the breakfast room staff were very friendly polite and looked happy in their job.
Room overlooked the observatory and was very quiet, just 1 fault was the window didnt open enough for me.
Hotel location is in central Greenwich
Generally good
by TripAdvisor Member andyjspiers
Best location within Greenwich, and after seeing reviews for the other 2 major hotels in the town there was no sensible alternative. Room was spotlessly clean and very airy. Mattress and pillows were too firm (I sell bedroom furniture and am of average weight so know that most guests might agree!) Staff always courteous and attentive. Only smalll complaint was that the hotel seemed inundated on Saturday morning at breakfast and checkout, as if 170 guests had suddenly arrived unexpectedly. However, the free limitless internet access allowed me to write this review while I waited for the queue to diminish. 8/10
GOOD HOTEL
by TripAdvisor Member a&ssussex
thought the location was great - just a short stroll to Greenwich Pier and some decent pubs for a drink and a bit of lunch - just a short cab ride to the 02 arena for the Rolling Stones gig we came up for - our room was spotlessly clean, light and airy - with a view over the park. buffet breakfast was good too. the hotel had free parking which was a bonus. the reception staff were pleasant and helpful - it wasn't the cheapest around i expect but you definately got value for money - would recommend it
Super Hotel
by TripAdvisor Member Bob-and-Sash
We Booked this hotel for it's location, near O2 Arena. It wasn't the cheapest in the area but it certainly rated one of the best. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was excellent, breakfast was very good and we were seated by the most cheerful bouncy person We've ever met, he brightened the start of the day. would definately use this hotel again.
Great location

Great location. Close enough to London for a night out but plenty to see and do locally. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast good. Well worth another visit.

Looking for a colorful, fun hotel stay for 2-3 people?
by nikarina
It would be helpful if it was say, one bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room?
We're looking for a colorful, fun, stylish hotel.
We're willing to pay a little extra for something with real style and fun decor.
Nothing too "chic", meaning we aren't really looking for a hotel with clean lines, all white and modern furniture.
It would be helpful if it was located in central london or around central london.

Not quite sure what you are looking for.......nor if it exists in London....nor,if it does, it will fall within your budget....but
You could try looking at the hotels here;
www.mrandmrssmith.com
or here:
http://hip.hotels-london.co.uk/
Both sites specialise in 'boutique', 'hip', 'cool' hotels.......
But finding a triple room (for 3 adults) may not be easy.

Did you read the replies you got for your last question? There are some good suggestions there. You still haven't told us how much is "a little extra".
London is expensive, so "a little extra" in London can be much more than somewhere else.You seem to be asking for a suite, since you mention a living room.Have you looked at this hotel?

Hey, this one is colourful.

Depends on what you define as chic.

It sounds as if you're really looking for a suite or apartment. Does it have to be a hotel - say, do you require on-site restaurants, bars, room service, etc? If not, there are some nice rentals (self-catering) to be had with probably more room, your choice of decor and very possibly better prices than hotels to be had in London. Check www.vrbo.com, www.Homeaway.com and - hmmmm - there's another one that Leics just recommended to another London traveler. Leics, what was that one?

Gosh, can't remember......maybe the official tourist info listings?...but as the OP has not actually logged in since March 16th I don't much feel like searching for whatever it was! :-)

Hmmm, good point, Leics - guess they really didn't want the help. Off to a more exciting post then!
