Good Hotel London

Floating hotel on Royal Victoria Dock with a profit-for-non-profit mission

Unique Concept & Social Impact

Good Hotel London operates as a floating platform hotel on Royal Victoria Dock, with all profits reinvested in community initiatives such as providing education for children in Guatemala. Each room is named after a sponsored child, with their photo and biography displayed inside the room. The hotel also trains and employs local unemployed people in hospitality, creating jobs for the surrounding community.

Dining & Entertainment

The on-site sustainable restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan dishes all day, with breakfast offering continental, buffet, and vegetarian selections. A rooftop bar provides views of the O2 Arena and city skyline, and the ground-floor bar hosts events such as Latin nights. Guests can also enjoy happy hour specials and a snack bar serving wine and champagne.

Rooms & Amenities

Rooms are compact but cleverly designed, with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and some offering river or city views. Family rooms are available, and each room includes a work desk, free toiletries, and a safe deposit box. There are no in-room TVs, which encourages guests to use the communal areas, and earplugs are provided due to thin walls and plane noise from nearby London City Airport.

Location & Transport

Good Hotel London sits on the water at Royal Victoria Dock, a 2-minute walk from the Emirates cable car that crosses the Thames to the O2 Arena. The DLR station is also a 2-minute walk, providing direct links to central London and the Elizabeth line. Nearby attractions include the ExCeL London Convention Centre (walking distance), the O2 Arena (4 km), and London City Airport (4 km).

Business & Events

Good Hotel London offers dedicated event spaces with water views, adaptable for meetings, conferences, or private functions. Services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, express check-in/check-out, and luggage storage. The hotel also provides fax/photocopying, meeting/banquet facilities, and bicycle rental for guests attending events at ExCeL or exploring the Docklands area.
