Easy to get to the O2 for our concert, staff were really friendly.

Joseph 8.0

We had a lovely stay at the Waterman's arms, it is an ideal location for exploring Greenwich or heading to an event in the O2 arena. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

Claire 10.0

As a previous E14 resident (I left 11 years ago), my friends and I used to come in for drinks. When Lady Gaga announced her tour, I preemptively booked a night here, got tickets, and was thrilled I was back on my old stomping ground, plus getting to see the glow up the place has had. From the gorgeous decor, the yummy breakfast, and the staff that couldn’t do enough for us! Perfect! Would highly recommend, especially for the O2 - value for money, and essentially within a stones throw. Thank you very much to all the team at The Watermans Arms 😊😊😊

Mick 10.0

Very friendly on arrival and showed me to my room which was very pleasant. Explained how to enter the building out of hours which seemed very secure. Nice facilities and a very comfortable bed.Very nice bar area and food was fresh and delicious.

Tracey 8.0

Friendly barmen, showed us to the room, and helped with directions to the O2. The breakfast was lovely, too.

Dr 8.0

great comfort, good food, quiet and authentic atmosphere. Outside central London. Otherwise fairly connected and in proximity to Greenwich offering all youd need.

Anne 8.0

Great location near the o2

Kevin 9.0

Large comfortable bedroom, and well-fitted modern clean bathroom. I appreciated the jug of water in the room since London tap water is always a little suspect. The breakfast was tasty. For the price it was much nicer than many hotels in the Canary Wharf / Greenwich area, so I'd definitely stay again.

Kevin 9.0

It was full of character, sympathetically renovated and with a fantastic food and beverage offer and views of the Thames too!

Tessa 8.0

Wonderful, helpful staff! Also the food in the bar was amazing, you could taste the care and attention that went into the preparation. Room was warm, cozy a traditional feel,with contemporary features. I loved that no noise could be heard from the busy pub downstairs. I will definitely return

Dana 9.0

The property was walkable to Greenwich. The room was a little small but the bath was large and updated. It was a clean and we loved that it was in an old pub. We had a great stay.

Michael 9.0

The location, the staff, a nice bar on the ground floor., breakfast was great

Merryl 8.0

Characterful pub in a fairly quiet, residential neighbourhood with a great Mediterranean restaurant 10 mins walk away (pub kitchen was closed). Right by the Thames river walk which was lovely - it would have been good to have had the time to use the nearby tunnel to go over to Greenwich had I not been on a work trip. Nicely decorated room and friendly staff. Good value and within easy reach of the ExCel.

Tim 9.0

A local pub with a lot of history in the middle of a vibrant community, close to the Thames, easy access to Greenwich via the foot tunnel, easy access to London via DLR. Quiz nights, bands, great breakfast and coffee. Its an experience
