There full English was cooked lovely, no grease on the plate. The food was piping hot and the bacon was thick cut with a very slight smokiness to it. The eggs were poached, golden yolks and runny

We booked to stay at The Pilot, due to its proximity to the O2, and we were not disappointed. Not only was it only about a 10 minute walk from the O2, and from the cable cars, but the place itself was absolutely wonderful. The room was beautiful and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We had an evening meal before heading out, which was delicious, and well priced (we even got a 10% discount as we were staying there). Then, in the morning, unfortunately we had to leave early to get back to catch our trains home, so we couldn't sit down and enjoy breakfast, but the gentleman who checked us out showed us where the 'help yourself' buffet was and said we could take whatever we liked with us (the croissant I took/had on the train was a welcome snack whilst travelling home!). All the staff we met at The Pilot were lovely and very welcoming. There is some parking outside the hotel, but it is very limited and on a 'first come, first served' basis. This included a couple of disabled spaces, right outside the front door. We would highly recommend the place and will definitely being staying again. 10/10

We’ve stayed here a number of times now and never had a bad experience.
The staff are all so lovely. The rooms are clean and well decorated. The food in the pub is always tasty and there’s always a new menu every time we’ve stayed. There is lots to choose from for breakfast and it’s cooked fresh for you.
It’s a great location easy walk to the o2. It’s always a peaceful nights sleep we will definitely be back.
