Staying at Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel in London was an absolute highlight of my trip. Located just between the Canary Wharf and Westferry stations on the DLR line, it’s literally steps from the river—every morning and evening brought stunning views, especially on sunny days.

The bathroom is particularly impressive—featuring both a tub and shower, with a smart half-dry/wet separation. There’s even a wooden bench inside, which is rare but incredibly practical.

One housekeeper even proactively told me to call if I needed anything—such thoughtful hospitality. Honestly, this place easily earns five stars.
