I stayed at this coliving space for one year as part of a corporate booking, and overall it was a very positive experience. The team was consistently professional, responsive, and supportive, which made settling in and staying long-term both easy and comfortable.
The space itself was well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed for extended stays. I appreciated the balance between privacy and community, as well as the reliable facilities that made day-to-day living convenient. Any issues that arose were handled promptly, which added to the sense of reliability and care.
Staff members like Pavani, Aravind and Amey were also very helpful and welcoming.
Living here for such an extended period, I found it to be a comfortable and dependable place to call home. I would confidently recommend it to professionals looking for a well-managed and welcoming coliving environment.
I had an amazing experience staying here. The staff was so friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Everyone was helpful and genuinely seemed to care that guests had a good experience. The amenities were great, and everything was clean and well taken care of. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would definitely come back the next time I’m in the area!
We have stayed at the Ark twice now and will definitely be coming back! The staff are always so friendly and nice to chat to. Particularly excellent service from Amey, and Pavani on reception :)
We love the pool, it is definitely a highlight of the hotel! Great views and really relaxing! The classic studio has everything you’d need for a few nights stay! Also only a 1 minute walk to the closest overground station which makes getting around super easy. Thanks again :)
Really amazing place, the rooms are a good size, the bathrooms are a bit small, but honestly still lovely and clean. the staff are super helpful (shoutout amey for letting me checkout later) and we had a wonderful time. literally a 5 min walk from dlr tube station or 15 min to canary wharf, with coop and tesco express and big asda nearby so rlly convenient. interiors are lovely, and they have a large pool, cold jacuzzi, wonderful steam and sauna all available and included which was a massive bonus as the views are also amazing! studio comes w sink, microwave, fridge, freezer, comfy bed, countertop and chairs, and you can always ask for extra cutlery. only feedback was our room didn’t get cleaned but i’m sure if we asked they would’ve, and the bathroom is a bit tiny but still clean, and location is slightly far from central london (30 min by tube), but overall wonderful, and extremely affordable!!
We have had an amazing stay at Ark Hotel Canary Wharf! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth, welcoming, and professional. Upon arrival we were greeted by Francisco, 10/10 service from himself — he truly made the difference during our stay. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Not only him but all of the staff we have come across were amazing. It’s rare to find that level of genuine hospitality. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Everything in the room was perfect for a long stay as it had an induction hob, sink and fridge/freezer which helped massively. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the amenities which we had the chance to make use of , which were a beautifully maintained swimming pool with a hot tub, which the views from there were amazing! A games room which was fully stocked with all of the board games you could possibly imagine, a pool table, poker table and many more. made the entire experience even better.
I highly recommend Ark Hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and exceptional customer service. I’ll definitely be returning!
I had an absolutely amazing time staying at ARK Canary Wharf! From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help with anything I needed. They really made me feel valued and comfortable throughout my stay.
Latifah, the duty manager, was also amazing. She was professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during my stay.
The pool was incredible and definitely one of the highlights for me. It was clean, well maintained, and such a relaxing space to unwind. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was modern, fresh, and enjoyable.
Everything about my stay exceeded my expectations, from the facilities to the customer service. I would highly recommend ARK to anyone visiting the area and I can’t wait to come back again!
Had a great stay, the reception team was really lovely in welcoming us in, we were welcomed by Lyzan and another gentleman. It was a little warm at night but the staff really made an effort to accommodate us and moved us to a cooler room. We used the pool, steam, sauna and jacuzzi and all were good with a nice view. I didn’t get the opportunity to try the yoga studio or gym, so would love to next time. Upon check out we spoke with a lovely lady Latifah. Overall great stay
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a very pleasant experience overall. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. As soon as I walked in, I noticed how fresh and organized everything looked. The bed was extremely comfortable with soft linens and supportive pillows, which made it easy to relax after a long day. We kept booking extra nights as me and my husband loved it !!
The room was equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge.
The bathroom was spotless and stocked with fresh towels and complimentary toiletries. The shower had strong water pressure and consistent hot water, which added to the comfort of the stay.
Overall, the room provided excellent comfort and value. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and relaxing place to stay. I would happily stay here again in the future. They have other amenities available . Such a beautiful pool and sauna on top floor. Was such amazing experience !!!!
