Hotel Intercontinental The O2, London
Expert reviews
“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.
“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.”

Convenient for the O2 and the tube to central London Very helpful staff.

Dream concert and ideal stay.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was amazing with great view of Canary Warf. Breakfast was great, so much choice and well cooked/ presented. We were literally 5 or 6 minutes walk to the O2 arena which was fantastic as attending a concert there.
Nothing really. Drinks were expensive but this was not a suprise so we planned for this.

Surprisingly good location
Nice breakfast, beautiful surroundings. The underground stop and public transportation is easy to access. soundproof room. Though chose the location because of the O2 arena, might stay there next time even when visiting the city. Easy access to the city center.

Everything was excellent except for the car parking fees.
The hotel, the service, the food and the cleanliness were all excellent.
The price of the car parking was very high and unexpected. I assumed car parking would be included in the price. It was extra.

Perfect!
Everything about the hotel was perfect! The beds are probably the most comfortable I’ve ever stayed in! Having the tunnel to get into the o2 was so handy! Staff were beyond helpful! Will definitely stay again.
Only issue was you couldn’t use the fridge unless you were taking from the mini bar. There was no space to put water or snacks etc.

Classy hotel very convenient for the O2
Clean rooms, comfy bed, polite & helpful staff
The pillows were too soft, and the toiletries had, in my opinion, a far too masculine snell

The location was excellent when I attended a concert at the O2. The staff were really helpful and friendly. I walked in to drop my bag at 12pm until I could check in at 3pm and was quickly informed I could check-in right away as there was a room ready for me. This made a huge difference and was greatly appreciated. If I ever attend an event at the O2 I will be booking here again.

I really enjoyed my stay. The rooms are super comfortable. The staff were very friendly.
The Convenience of the location to the O2 venue. Lovely rooms with good facilities Friendly and helpful staff Excellent views of the river.
As a person travelling on their own I would have preferred to have an internal lock on my door. I would have felt more secure. It took me a while to work out how to operate the lighting, temperature and air conditioning. A guide sheet would have been useful. The bottle of still water in my room was impossible to open, a minor irritation.

Fabulous hotel which made our Billy Ellish night even more memorable
Fantastic hotel with easy access to the 02. It was so lovely to have the use of the spa the following day, making the most of the unusually late check out time. Breakfast was lovely, brilliant selection.
Everything was great. Only very minor thing was the shower it cause a bit of a flood in the bathroom.

Unable to book the car park so I had to book an off site facility & then walk to the hotel.

My family had a amazing stay, just a shame one member of staff tried spoiling it.
Room was very well kept, clean and spacious with a great view. Restaurant and other facilities were also very good.
The lady who serviced our room was extremely rude to my wife. I have scored the hotel highly as it is well deserved. I have also scored the staff 10/10 as they were amazing. This one particular member was awful though and does not represent the hotel. I did inform the duty manager of this as she will damage their brand. They also don't fill up your mini bar unless you request it.
