Hampton By Hilton London Docklands

Hampton By Hilton London Docklands Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hampton By Hilton London Docklands, you immediately get that “this is going to work out just fine” feeling. It’s one of those three-star hotels that actually gets the basics right — clean, modern, and refreshingly straightforward without trying too hard to impress. The lobby has that crisp Hampton style you’d expect, but what struck me was how genuinely welcoming the staff were, especially considering how busy this area gets with business travelers and tourists heading to the O2.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying in London‘s Docklands — you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the chaos of central London to actually get some peace. The hotel sits right on Dockside Road, and honestly, the location works brilliantly for exploring both the financial district and the more touristy bits. You can walk to Canning Town station in about ten minutes, which puts you on the Jubilee line straight into Westminster or Bond Street. Plus, if you’re planning to catch a show or event at the O2 Arena, you’re basically next door — I mean, it’s a short bus ride or even walkable if the weather’s decent.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d hope for after a long day of sightseeing — comfortable bed (and I mean genuinely comfortable, not just hotel-speak), decent size for London standards, and everything worked properly. The air conditioning was a godsend during my summer visit, and the blackout curtains actually blocked out the light, which isn’t always a given in this city. What I appreciated most was the attention to detail — good lighting for reading, plenty of outlets near the bed, and a bathroom that felt clean and modern without being sterile.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast spread here is honestly impressive for a Hampton property. They’ve got the full English option sorted, but also continental choices, and — this was a pleasant surprise — proper vegetarian and vegan options that don’t feel like an afterthought. The restaurant area gets busy around 8 AM with business travelers, so I’d suggest going a bit earlier or later if you prefer a quieter start to your day. The coffee’s decent too, which matters more than people realize when you’re trying to gear up for a day of walking around London.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it handles the practical stuff that can make or break a London stay. The parking situation is sorted — they have private spaces, which is genuinely valuable in this part of town where street parking is either impossible or expensive. The beds really are as comfortable as everyone says (couples seem to particularly appreciate this, rating the location highly for romantic getaways), and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need after spending the day exploring Borough Market or trudging through the Tate Modern. It’s the kind of hotel where everything just works without any drama, leaving you free to focus on enjoying London rather than dealing with accommodation headaches.

To book hotel in London for festive lights, travelers reserve West End suites glowing above cobbled lanes.
