Excellent location as we were watching a show at the O2 arena. A piece of history in the middle of high rise buildings. It’s been lovingly restored and maintained with quirky design elements to it. They had great breakfast choices and had a relaxed atmosphere. I love these kinds of places. Just the relaxing weekend my husband needed.

Fantastic stay. Loved the hotel and the pub downstairs. Only thing that let it down was the attentiveness of the staff. It felt like they were put out when doing their job. There were several occasions we had to find someone to serve us despite being in full view of the chatting staff. This is something that can definitely be improved and all in all we had a great stay.

Stayed in the cabin bed. However cleaning and banging till around 2am. Then again around 6am. Not ideal as the room is also subject to the exit door/night door and banging etc when people coming in with no sense of respect for others trying to get a rest.
However it looks great and the pub/restaurant is great.

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

Excellent location for O2 venue, which is why we chose this establishment. Staff were friendly and helpful. Evening meal at the pub was 'nice' although portion size was not too generous.
Room was very small (superior double) en-suite facilities were also tiny. Stairway and corridors leading to the rooms are narrow and steep (we were on the 3rd floor). Did not experience noise from the pub or road, this may not be the case in summer as there is many outside/rooftop tables.

Amazing choice for those going to the O2

I would very rarely rate hotels 10 out of 10 but this was so close that I couldn't not give it full marks. The room was brilliant and the mattress and pillows in particular were the best I've had in ages. Breakfast was also good and the pub was an amazing bonus to have underneath. By the time I went to bed the pub was really quiet so I had no noise issues.

Do not stay here if you want a good nights sleep. I was kept awake by a lot of banging and scraping of furniture across the floor in the bar until gone midnight. In the morning at 6.30am I was woken by a lot of banging and clanging from a delivery to the pub.
Breakfast was minimal - a few pastries and two choices of cereal. No fruit or yoghurt. The choice of cooked breakfast was ok.
The room was not cheap at £218 and that was after an Expedia discount!

I’m not a massive review writer, but thought I’d go out of my way to leave one for this place - our stay was perfect!

Staff were all friendly, breakfast was tasty and came quickly, bed was really comfortable, plenty of space in the car park, modern and clean bathroom, very convenient location. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay - we will definitely be coming back here in future!

We went to a concert at the O2 and it’s such a convenient location (5-10 minute walk away). The actual hotel is very quiet despite all the people leaving the venue. Once we got in and went to bed we didn’t hear a peep from outside!

Check in and check out process was also super quick and easy.

Couldn’t fault the place at all. The only teeny tiny thing we noticed was dust in the cupboards but the room was clean and the bathroom was clean so we can’t complain.

Overall, a very good stay and we will definitely be back!

Attentive service and great breakfast

Excellent service, friendly staff, fantastic breakfast.

Sleep interrupted by offsite building type noise. I was also a lot longer than the bed in the cabin room.

Great O2 bolt-hole

Used the Pilot as an O2 Arena overnight “bolt hole” to avoid a late night commute home. For which it is more than ideal. Some maybe put off by the price, but it is good value and convenient for the North Greenwich peninsula. The deluxe double rooms are a fair size with interestingly themed rooms (ours had framed ‘Eagle’ comic covers and Anthony Buckeridge ‘Jennings’ paperbacks). All the rooms have clocks on their doors, set to the hour of their room-number. All are fairly well appointed with USB-2 and C sockets. We had an Iron, a hairdryer, artisan (Nespresso) coffee capsules and bags. But only one tea bag to share.
The bathroom and toilet are very snug (tight) but fully functional which was ok.

The rooms are split across the first and second floor, above the Pilot public house. There is both an internal (from the pub) and private (opens out to the street) staircase, so entry after closing time is possible with a swipe card key at the end of the evening.

Although I did not use it, there was ample car parking (included in my rate) which was great. But I did not see any EV charging facilities (as of April 2024).

We did not try the pub bar food (had a concert to attend), but it looked popular and of a good standard. But breakfast (included in my rate) was great. They just kept running out of tea bags, tea bags, toast and pastries.


If you are going to the O2 Arena, consider this for your accommodation, but book ahead and early if possible.

More than a touch of style

I’m not one for generic hotel rooms, waking up not knowing which city I’m in that day. The Pilot is definitely not one of those! They’ve fully embraced their theme without being cliche or cheesy (a delicate balance).

The only negative was the two single beds joined together in a continental version of a double bed.

Little gem by the O2

Lovely find about 10 minutes walk from the O2. Much more fun than a corporate hotel. Manages a home-run feel despite being part of Fullers. Rooms well appointed with good use of space. Breakfast was excellent. The pub is lovely and has a cat. Warning: All rooms are upstairs with no lift.

We stayed here when visiting the O2 for C2C.
What a fabulous location, friendly staff, nice (compact) double room. Great breakfast, free parking. Even better it is literally a 5-10 minute walk from the O2 arena - more if you were drinking :-)

Beautiful setting and reasonably priced and a short walk from the O2.

Staff was very friendly and breakfast was peng!

Only draw back was the construction site across the road so don’t expect a layin after 7am. This was obviously out of their control and did not downgrade the experience my partner and I had. I just love a lay in.
Defo will be returning

My daughter and I stayed here to go to a concert at the O2 Arena, it was about 5 min walk and lights all along. Check in easy and staff were lovely and helpful. Room was beautiful cosy and comfortable. Amenities of plenty. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order along with continental items too . Just a delightful stay. Thank you The Pilot 😃

Good location but no warning of fire alarm tests

Location is great for gigs at the O2. Bed is a small double so not great if you’re both tall but comfortable. Air con works, nice layout. Bathroom needs updating, shower a bit mouldy and broken toilet brush. Overall would’ve been perfectly fine except checkout was at 11am and they started a 45min fire alarm test at 10.15am with no warning. We’d been having breakfast downstairs minutes before and nothing was said. We had to hurry to pack our bags and get out as quickly as possible as it was absolutely deafening in a small room. We had an apology on check out but the lack of forethought to let people know it was going on was ridiculous.

Pilot is full of character. It's close to O2 and Thames ferry station. Staff were very helpful.
The site is close to lots of construction at the moment.
