Hotel Intercontinental The O2, London

1 Waterview Dr, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0TW, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“For riverside luxury, try the InterContinental London – The O2, which opened in Greenwich in 2015.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Southeast London.

Telegraph review:

“The hotel couldn’t get much closer to The O2. The domineering white curves of the dome, and much of the Canary Wharf skyline, can be seen from the hotel – head to the Eighteen Bar on the top floor for the best views.”

Great location!

The location is perfect! Our view of the o2 from our room was amazing and for getting to and from the venue you couldn't fault that. It is a lovely bright, modern hotel. It feels luxury but not pretentious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom amenities were lovely. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We had the junior suite booked for 3. Just small details that could be improved... there were only 2 cups for hot drinks, two of the lamps were not working, the lighting is poor and could be brighter or more natural (mainly for us women who need to be able to see our make up!) The long mirror is behind the chair next to the tv. This would be far better in the entrance area by the wardrobe. I had to ask for the sofa bed to be made up, instead of offering this on check in. Pricey for drinks. £14 for a mediocre glass of rose wine! (Although that's probably just London prices for you!) All of the above would not stop me staying again, especially for an event at the o2.

Lovely

View location and kids menu, accommodating staff, love the pool.

Access to o2 not clear or 10’min walk, needs bubble bath, the room is a little highly priced. A mini kids spa treat would help.

The upgrade to one of the residential suites.

No free breakfast and it’s over £30 pp unless you take the offer when you check in and it’s £22 pp. as we had the suite we were able to pop to Tesco for breakfast

Lovely stay

I loved the staff, especially Ivan was so lovely! Also the room and bathroom were very spacious. I really loved staying here overall. Comfortable beds and it was possible to change the room temperature.

It would have been nice to used the options of the smart tv, like YouTube. They did have bluetooth connectivity for music though.

Expensive, but very convenient.

The location is amazing for the O2.

The car parking is restrictive, especially with the building works. It's expensive too. And it's not abundantly clear that you will be fined if you park over a white line. Food and drinks very expensive Especially as there is a wetherspoons just inside the O2!

Hotel is lovely! Had a view from our room! So convenient for transport, restaurants and shows!!!

Friendly staff. Clean comfortable room with gorgeous smelling toiletries! Excellent location to the tube, bus and our reason for visit......the O2!!! Check out was quick and efficient.

Being guided to stairs due to immense queue for lits, only to find the stairs vanished on floor 1, and got heckled by guests in the lift accusing us of queue jumping! We're not!!! We can't find any more stairs!!! Maybe signs directing to the stairs??? Other guests felt the same! Not a staffing issue, more a clarity issue!

Comfortable, convenient with very good customer service. But very, very busy all of the time.

Location was perfect as we were there to watch a concert at the O2. The facilities were good and the breakfast was excellent.

The hotel was crowded and there were queues everywhere for everything (check-in, lifts, the bar, breakfast). I appreciate there is nothing the hotel can do about this - fortunately there were plenty of staff to manage. The convenience outweighed this fact but it has put me off staying here again the future.

Lovely hotel and detail

The location was perfect for the O2, breakfast was amazing.

I cannot see how you justify charging £52.00 to park, there are not enough spaces and after spending over £1000.00 on 3 rooms it seems very tight. Bar prices are crazy, so watch out for a big bill and the smallest bottle of expensive coke you could buy as a hotel!

A genuinely 5 star hotel experience which made an overnight stay for a concert feel like a luxurious mini break!

Beautifully furnished. Excellent location for the O2. Very accessible (I was unexpectedly in a wheelchair) and the staff went over and above to help. The Sky bar was stunning.

Honestly nothing.

Yet again! Best hotel to stay when visiting London

Second time here! A stunning hotel with fab connections to 02 London We came for a show from Cornwall The staff are so helpful the rooms are large and immaculate Breakfast excellent We can’t wait to return next year Only problem we had was parking Being disabled you really need to reserve a place when you book It’s only a small car park for a huge hotel Excellent hotel with fabulous views of London

Not being able to book a pre bookable car park space Very bad when you have a blue disabled parking card and driving for 7 hrs It’s not the hotels land but this really needs sorting

Brilliant location for the O2 arena, a connecting tunnel really took the strain out of finding your way.

The decor was very nice, clean and the staff were very accommodating.

It was hard to get to from the tube, due to construction work.

Lovely location, super friendly staff, great food, very relaxing stay.

Location, Staff (Very attentive and polite), evening meal (Kinaara), Breakfast, room service.

Plug in bath did not work, hallways needed a slight clean, the member of staff taking a room service order was not so friendly (The member of staff who delivered it was super nice), more snack options in the eighteen Sky Bar. Cost of parking.

A 21st Birthday treat for my daughter, she loved it! Thank you! We will recommend & return!

We went to the Strictly Tour so it was a perfect location. We did request twin beds but got a double bed which was not ideal but very very comfy, room clean and welcoming.

We didn't have breakfast, I feel this was overpriced
