Marriott Executive Apartments London, West India Quay

Grandios
(Siehe Foto unten) georgous hat das Hotel ja schon vortrefflich beschrieben. Viel mehr kann man gar nicht
mehr ergänzen. Deshalb habe ich einfach noch ein paar Bilder eingefügt. Der
Spa-​Bereich hat mich besonders beeindruckt. (Siehe Foto unten) Die Zimmer waren modern uns sehr sauber.
(Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten) Dass ich ein Frühstück in England
einmal loben werden, hätte ich auch nicht gedacht. Blick auf Docklands (
) und Canary Wharf (
) .
Einfach toll. Die Bilder sprechen für sich.
(Siehe Foto unten) Sehr zu empfehlen und meine ersten
5 Sterne für ein Londoner Hotel.

While arriving with a cab, the first impression was not the best: strange entrance in quit a strange lane.
Once out of the taxi, the picture completely change! Very helpfull staff eveywhere. The rooms are very big and fully equiped.
The area is unique and good to go for a drink or bite. The price is not low, but worth it.

These service apartments are in the same building as the Marriott Hotel. The location right next to the West India Quay DLR, would be a lot more convenient if the DLR from the city actually stopped there before 7pm. The alternative is to get the tube or DLR to Canary Wharf which is a very confusing 10 minute walk to the apartments. The rooms were nicely furnished but strangely laid out. There is an ‘accident waiting to happen’ step UP into the bathroom, the shower stall is very narrow, although there is another shower over the bath tub. The service was quite poor, it is annoying to have 6 wine glasses, 2 champagne flutes but no water glasses. A huge dishwasher but few dishes to fill it and no cupboard space for pantry items. There was missing grout and therefore loose floor tiles in the bathroom and the laundry basket was moldy, the light wouldn’t switch off in the bedroom closets and there were big gaps so sleeping was a challenge. None of these things are terrible, but when they keep adding up they become irritating. I think the hotel side of the set-​up may be a better bet, but for a long stay it is nice to have a fridge, cooking facilities etc.

My sister got married here last year. We used the outside area for drinks — champagne and orange juice, while they were preparing the area that we reserved upstairs for dinner. The drinks were lovely, the staff were friendly, they kept coming back with more champagne to fill our glasses. Then we went upstairs for dinner. There were about 20 of us seated around a large table. It was nice, but the main course (of peri peri chicken and chips) was no better than Nando’s chicken. The staff were very helpful. I didn’t try their main restaurant but my friend works there and said the food was lovely.

London Marriott West India Quay is the place where I hang out after a movie with friends more often than not. We usually get a pint of Guinness from the bar. The bar provides a comfy place for a couple of drinks. It offers quite cheap drinks too. I am not exactly sure about the price but I think it is about £3.40 for a pint of Guinness — good price bearing in mind the setting within the Marriott Hotel. It tends to be less crowded than normal pubs and bars next to the water. This is surely a fine place for drinks.

One of the nicer hotels in London, this is based in the social hub of the Wharf and offers pretty good service. Shaped like a sail going out onto the dock, the rooms are spacious and do the job for getting your rest when on business meetings!
The bars are lovely and hidden away nicely so members of the public can’t get to them as easily as before.
As Marriot’s go, prices aren’t too bad, service exemplary and great office facilities.

Eine wirklich rundum positive Überraschung in London.
Das Marriot West India Quay Hotel liegt in den neu angelegten Dockland von London, zwischen Bank und City Airport, vis a vis Greenwich.
Als Business-​Hotel für die vielen Britischen Banken und deren Kunden/​Consultants gedacht, bietet es für London unüblich guten Service und riesige Hotelzimmer.
Für Service/​Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit kann man glatt 5 Sterne vergeben.
Das Hotel verfügt über alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man benötigt, Konferenzräume, WLAN, Roomservice.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist qualitativ ausgezeichnet und bietet viele regionale Produkte, verschiedene Cheddars, das gesamte Arsenal an Cereals etc. Nur bei Wurst hat sich das Hotel lieber an Italiener gehalten.
Auch werkeln mehrere Köche herum, um typische englische Eier– und Waffelspeisen frisch zu zu bereiten.
Nur hinter das Geheimins der nie schmeckenden Würstchen und der trotzdem permanenten Präsenz bin ich noch nicht dahinter gekommen.
Weiterhin hat das Hotel verschiedene Restaurants in den hoteleigenen Etagen 1 – 12, darunter auch Feinschmecker-​Restaurants zu bezahlbaren Preisen. Auch eine Executive Lounge ist in der 7. Etage, in der man mit schönem Blick frühstücken kann.
Das Hotel lieg direkt schön an einem ehemaligen Schiffsbecken mit seitlichem Blick auf Bank oder O2.
In der Nähe sind viele Pubs, Restaurants und eine grosse Mall.
Mit der DLR (Station West India Quay) hat man Anschluß an das London-​Verkehrsnetz. Innerhalb von 30 Minuten ist man in der City.
Top-​Empfehlung, but check for the rates and VAT.
