stayed in holiday express for 1 night just because it was the nearest to the O2 arena . When arrived at hotel the woman behind the check in desk told us that we hadn't booked a room (which we had quite a while ago!) it took 1 HOUR for her to finally notice that we actually had booked a room there. The lifts were tiny and at one point almost broke down!. The rooms were DISGUSTING , he hotel had recently threw out all of the sofa beds which i myself saw in the skip and in my room we ordered a sofa bed , when i lifted up all of the dirty sheets there were about 5 of the different beds on top of eachother which had a horrible smell. I then noticed that they had taken the beds out of the skip!. On the sheets were dead bugs and actually a few red blood sucking ants. the tv had no good channels and the romote didnt work, the sound on it was rubbish. The bathroom wasnt a good size . We had a drink and when i looked at the cell by date mine was gone off!. The staff there were rubbish, the barmaid was the receptionist , room serive and chef!,who could hardly speak english and didnt know where any of the drinks were when we ordered some when they were right infront of her eyes!. The restraunt shut really early so had no chance of eating there. I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN THE MIRROR IN THE WALL FELL OFF AND THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE WHICH YOU COULD SEE INTO ANOTER ROOM AND THEY ALSO HAD A HOLE BEHIND THEIR MIRROR. the breccy was also rubbish,,

I booked this hotel as I was going to see the Spice Girls with my mum at the O2 and wanted to stay over rather than come back same night . On arrival the check in was quick and there were no complications. The room was clean and had tea & coffee facilities.

We stayed in a twin room and only had 1 towel, after calling the reception twice we got loads more. The staff were very friendly & helpful.

When we arrived we were very hungry and asked where we could get a meal and were told to go next door to the Chinese restaurant.... we went there and had a 3 course meal which was nice.... and not expensive.

The location is good but we still got a taxi to the O2... a bit lazy but we were wearing heels! The taxi there was £4 but on the way back was £20 because of all the traffic so watch out for that! The next day we walked to the tube (next to Oz) and it took us about 15mins.

Breakfast was a bit of a joke, we were told it was between 7am & 11am but I think it was 6am - 10am. We got there at about 930am and there was no where to sit, we had to wait for a table. There was a good selection of food, cereal, pastries, cheese, ham, toast etc but no cooked food.

All in all a good place to stay if you are visiting O2 but not somewhere I would imagine staying for long, it's more of a stop gap than anything else.

We stayed here on the 8th of jan after seeing the Spice Girls at the O2. The room cost £171.00 for 1 nights stay. When we arrived we were told the car park would be £3.00 on the booking but when checking in were informed it would be £5.00. We were given a voucher for 2 free drinks. When we got to our room we looked out the window (we were on the 2nd floor) to find just outside the window was a mouldy pillow, a carton of what must have been apple juice but was now pure mould. A mouldy towel and several beer bottles. The shower would only give out boiling hot water. The bed was well slept in and uncomfortable. The sofa bed looked well used and in need of a refurb. There must have been some water damage from the room above us as the ceiling was covered in brown water stains, something a lick of paint would sort out. We went down for breakfast the next morining to find the hot cossiants were barely warm and soggy. We asked at reception to order us a taxi to take us to the arena as it was raining. When the time came for the taxi to arrive they said that they were sorry and had forgotten to order it. The main reception area looked very clean and the staff at check were pleasent, I think that is really the only good thing I can say about it. If I go to the O2 again I will stay somewhere different.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights just after New Year. It was very clean and modern. The room had a TV, tea/coffee making facilities, en-suite shower room and plenty of towels!

The bed was fairly comfy.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Buffet breakfast included in price which was added bonus.

Hotel only 10 min walk from 02 Arena and 10 minutes in other direction to Odeon Cinema, Sainsbury's, Pizza Hut and other eateries.

Lovely Chinese Rest in Hotel "The Peninsula" good value.

Would stay here again for concert at 02 Arena.
