Only stayed at this hotel for one night- very disappointing. Location is not near anything- not even Canary Wharf. Room was large but cold and sterile, No charm at all. Staff was not very helpful. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
This was the venue for my last trip to London. It was a bold choice (because of location) and it turned out ideal.
We were to be in Canary Wharf for a couple of days (London Arena) and the hotel is just on the other side of the river.
Great rooms - big and well furnished. Hotel is right on the river (interesting in itself) and provides a ferry to get you across to Canary Wharf. From there it was easy to get the Docklands LRT to the Arena.
We were flying in/out of City Airport and the hotel is on the wrong side of the river for that, but it should be easy enough to use a taxi to/from the ferry point. It is a bit of a way from central London - good for the east end and the City
Hilton London Docklands: A decent hotel close to Canary Wharf

Not the type of luxury you would expect from a Hilton, but comfortable enough. The rooms are clean and have the necessary amenities, they're also quite spacious for a London hotel. Excellent bufet breakfast, friendly and efficient staff. The hotel is a bit out-of-the way, but it runs its own courtesy bus to and from Canada Water bus station. There's also a ferry taking you across the river to Canary Wharf. Hotelink does not run to this hotel, so if you have a flight early morning, your only option is to take a cab for GBP 50. Wouldn't call it exactly good value for money, rather decent value if money doesn't count. The best of all is its proximity to Canary Wharf - no need to worry about traffic when going to a business appointment.
There's a Being Well gym & spa free of charge for the guests - didn't have time to try it out though.
Hilton London Docklands: Very nice hotel on the river Thames

We stayed there for 2 nights on an extended weekend in London. The hotel was very nice and clean with the biggest room I have ever had in London. Free coffee and tea making facilites, even waterbottles were waiting in the room.
The rooms was very, very quiet overlooking a courtyard and the river thames.
Breakfast was definitely something to remember, the famous Hitlon breakfast with more choice than you could ever eat for breakfast. At a fantastic rate of 74£ this hotel was defintely a bargain.
Drawback:
about 45 minutes to downtown london shuttle service from hotel to tube station Canada water (walking distance approx 25 minutes).
- very nice and quiet rooms - breakfast with an enormous choice - Ferry taxi from hotel straight into downtown London, price approx 3£
