good hotel
by TripAdvisor Member armagh222
i stayed here for 3 nights in a suite and thought the hotel was very nice. the rooms was large and very clean,well equipped with small kitchen etc. the only fault was that the bathroom was small. all in all i tought that the room was very comfortable. the food was quite good in the restaurant and as somone else has said you dont have a choice here simply because there is nothing to do in this area unless you hop in a cab to canary wharf and after a hard day at the exhibition centre i dont think anyone would be bothered. the menu was quite small and expensive but the food was good and the service was very friendly. overall i would stay here againg i i was in the area and do not have any complaints about the hotel in general.
Her Majesty's Pleasure

The journey to Ramada was the best part of the whole stay to say the least, the staff were rude and unattentive, it took us about 10 minutes to get seen, ordinarily this may not be that bad if they were busy but there was only 1 person infront of us. The lift to the room was the smallest thing I have seen, a lilluputian would turn claustophic in such confined area's, and finally we reached the room, oh what can we say, somewhat sparse, but I dont think that they were going for the minimalist approach just lack of, asked for a double they achieved this is spectaular style by giving us a twin!!!!!!!!!
The table light was flickering and shorting out everytime reminded me of some sort of hovel somewhere.
The shower turned out to be pretty good just a shame it was contained in the hotel, the layout was not very practical, who in the right mind creates a shower the same level as the main floor, the water did not really drain more like jsut stayed there ( anyway it stayed longer than we did) or helpful, the doors seemed to be stolen from some machine of war, doors that big just looked plain out of place, suffice to say that we choose the breakfst option for which we opted out quick smart, never left a hotel so early or so quickly.
This is not a 4* hotel as I have stayed in some in my time this was more a 4 pebble hotel. We will not be frequenting to collect our frequent flyer miles.
That song that goes I want to break free never really meant much to me until that day when we stepped out and breathed the air of freedom

Great Hotel
by TripAdvisor Member LFK
Stayed here for 2 nights in February 2007. Room prices on the web vary so check with a large website like --------. The room was cleam and comfortable with nice toiletries (Neutrogena). Our room had a view over Victoria Dock. There is not much to do round the hotel, but it is nice for walking and convenient for the city with the DLR only about a 10 minute walk away. The reception staff were polite and helpful and we managed to get a free parking space which was a great bonus. Our room price included breakfast which was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had. It was self service buffet, fruit, yoghurts, rolls, continental and full english, it was very well cooked and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be going back to this hotel.
Have stayed at better hotels
by TripAdvisor Member poundoaks
This was only a one night stay, but it was an ok experiance, we have stayed at other hotels in the docklands quite often and they are better.
Breakfast was delivered to our room and was ok but coffee was cold.
would only stay for one night and it was expensive for one night!
Just off perfect!

This hotel was absoloutly fantastic! It was extremely clean (very important to me!!) and all the staff were really nice friendly and helpful. It had a nice bar (The Oval Bar) and the Waterfront restaurant was really nice for a treat ( we found it a bit expensive, but so is everywhere to eat in London!) There is a nice bar/restaurant across the road at the travel inn which had great food (bar meals and restaurant meals) and wasn't too pricey.
The DLR (Docklands Light Railway) was just 4 mins walk from the hotel. The DLR is a great way to get to Tower Gateway (10-15 Mins), and from there you can get anywhere in London! Overall i thought the hotel was great value for money (make sure you check a travel search engine for good deals, which is what i did.) Would definatly stay there again!!

What to do with my luggage?
by little-girl
Next Monday (3rd) I will do hotel check-out (Ramada Docklands) in the morning but I just have to be in Stansted airport at about 16,30. In order not to go back to the hotel I would like to put my luggage at Liverpool station or somewhere not very far from my way to the airport. I would like to know if there are any place available (of course I don't mind to pay) in Liverpool station to put my luggage. If not does anyone have any other suggestion to help solving my problem?

I'm pretty sure you can leave luggage at Liverpool. There's a company called Excess Luggage. I think that means storage. :-)

Either that, or leave your luggage in the hotel, to pick up later. Hotels never charge for this.

Film... it's funny. I just spotted that Excess Luggage Co. at Gatwick a few weeks ago. I had no idea what it was all about. It also looked as if they sell luggage, too, but I'm not sure.

Well, if you look Asian, Brazillian or Arab, whatever you do DONT carry it on your back and walk around tube stations.
You might get innocently shot in head about a dozen times.

Or you might get caught in an earthquake, be eaten by the Purple People Eater or have your nose pecked off by a blackbird...but it isn't that likely.

They used to have left luggage lockers at the stations, but all that business was given to this one company. I think they x-ray every bag.
If you want somewhere cheap to stash your luggage go to one of the free museums or art galleries. They will look after it all day for you - people can spend many hours in those places, they are so darned interesting.
