Marlin Apartments Canary Wharf Reviews

A little bit far out for our liking. A good a 15 mins walk to nearest tube, and then 25 min journey into the city. Well appointed modern apartment which only had a pull down bed though which wasn't very comfortable. Room was far too hot and we couldnt adjust the heating so slept with the windows open every night. Tv reception appalling. Apartment clean though and definately served the purpose for a city traveller but was over priced

Great apartment, unfortunately our TV was terriable allowing you to watch 10 minutes of TV before locking up and the internet did not work in our apartment either and the BT helplines were busy, corridors outside the apartment smelt foul. However the apartment itself and the rooms were amazing, and i cannot really hold Marlin responsible for other apartments. Parking was £16 per night and convinient.

Big Thank you to Alex - who looked after everything. Apartment 31 was amazing!

Great spot, 5 mins walk back to canary wharf where there is a fantastic Italian retaurant where we sat out for dimnner and breakfast. Handy for tube, docklands light railway and the ferry all of which we tried with no hassle. The apartment was sizeable, clean and quiet. Just watch you don't slip in the bath as I did.

I had an apartment which slept four - two bathrooms, large kitchen diner - just for me, but it would have been sufficient for two on business. The apartment was beautifully furnished and there was plenty of space. Also very clean and tidy.
I was on a conference at Canary Wharf so the location was perfect, and the price (whilst still a bit toppy for my liking) was £200 cheaper than The Hilton! No contest...

Found the receptionist to be not helpful. On entering the corridors to the appartment found the corridores to smell really badly of rubbish. The lift smelt of ...... Something else, wee I think. On entering the rooms found the tv to be on and on full blast. Apart from that the room was fantastic. As long as you held your breath on entering the place it was great!

The bed was uncomfortable which did not produce a good nights sleep. The accommodation is in a fairly run down area.
Served the purpose for a nights accommodation.

Canary Wharf offered a perfect base for out Theatre trip and Marlin apartments offered the best value accomodation at short notice. The 2 Bed Apartment provided ample space for 4, as well as secure overnight parking.

Good

Beautiful apartment, clean and bright with bathroom which looked like it had never been used.
Access easy and felt very safe being woman alone. Recommend Highly

Great venue, just a short walk from the wharf. Great for families, a home from home. Would book another Merlin apartment on our next visit with the kids

We were expecting booked rooms to be together but they were actually on different floors.
Other than this the accommodation was of a high standard and would recommend.

Good

Very nice apartment but let down by the fact the bed was very uncomfortable. Neither of us slept very well.

I think that this serviced accommodation provides much better value than the local hotels. The room and facilities were very pleasant and a small issue that I had was very quickly resolved without fuss.
Food halls etc. are nearby at Canary Wharf - about 5-6 minutes walk and a small store is located within 3 minutes. Likewise you are well serviced for restaurants at Canary wharf.

Great place to stay near Canary Wharf which is full of pleasant surprises in itself ( Shops/Restaurants etc ) Accomodation with Parking ( additional charge ) but good apartments a 5 minute walk from the DLR Railway. Overall a pleasant experience !!

The apartment was furnished to a very high standard and was very modern inside. The beds were comforatble and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The check in time of 3pm was late. This did not leave us with much time to enjoy the apartment. The bathrooms in the apartment were not cleaned fully. Would definately use Marlin apartments again.

In general the apartment offered great value for money and was a great base to enable one to go to the O2 and back and stay in London at a very good rate. The apartment was very good and well equipped and in fact was very clean.The only thing that let it down was the dirty windows which gave it a run down feeling. Apart from that we enjoyed our experience and although we might try somewhere else we could also come back.
Value for money perfect.

Ideal location for Canary Wharf and O2. easily accessible from station on foot, close to lots os shops and restaurants. had breakfast in a lovely turkish delicatessin. apartment was clean with tea and coffee available to make when we arrived. would stay here again even if visiting central london as tube is so easy.

Apartment was small but had everything needed for a night stay. we stayed two nights, the underground parking is worth while as its gated and you can come and go whenever with the carpark fob. Everything you needed was provided, including iron, hair dryer, cooking utensils. excellent location with subway only five minutes up the road. would definately stay again.

I stayed at the marlin appartments in canary wharf. The appartment was fantastic. However the receptionist was very unhelpfull and very rude. A shame you cant check in untill after 3pm also there is no cash payment it is card only which i find odd.

I checked into Marlin Apartments Canary Wharf on Saturday 26th February 2011. On Monday evening the tap in the kitchen would not switch off and was running constantly; a call to reception resulted in a young lady coming up to the apartment; breaking the tap completely and then informing me that there was no maintenance cover in the evening/ weekend. The best she could 'offer' was to turn the water off and have this fixed the next day. Well ! The following evening I arrived home from the office to find that the repair had not been made and the apartments were full !! so as the rather helpful lady on reception (lol) informed me 'I don't wish to be rude; but you have a bed - tough!!!!! I asked for a refund/ part refund for the 2 nights with no water and was basically told to 'Go Jump'.........also. Apartment No 3. Heating (individual room controls) did not work in either of the bathrooms, nor the hallway. Only 2 towels were provided for the whole week. Service is only provided for the first time one week after check-in - so although I stayed 6 nights in total there was no service - hence the same two towels. And get this ladies - you have to take your own rubbish to the underground car park - so safe (not)!!

Accommodtion was fine. Check out time is a joke. 10.30 Not happy the fact that a company holds your deposit £200 for 10 days after you have checked out. I uses hotels most wk ends and have never had this. It a liberty and not quite sure if its legal.
Hence I will not be using Marlin apts again.

Fantastic apartments and service.

The apartment itself was really good, clean and in a good location for the O2 Arena. The customer service was dreadful! We requested early checkin which we were told we would have to pay for and we accepted. However when we arrived the receptionist knew nothing of this and was most unhelpful. It took her 25 mins to check us in and then the apartment we had booked for 6 adults only had 4 beds. They then wheeled in the 2 foldaway beds and left us to set them up and were told to use the pillows from the other beds! This whole process took preciuous time which we didn't have which was a real shame as the apartment was very nice.

Great location for working at Canary Wharf, room well equipped. However - mattress on the bed was so bad that I had to sleep on top of the duvet to stop the springs digging into my back. And then after no sleep, there was no hot water the next morning...
Wrote to Marlin to let them know the problems with the mattress and water so they could rectify for future guests - never heard back. Won't be staying there again!

Perfect location for Canary Wharf. I would otherwise have to commute for over 5 hours each day. The studio apartment has plenty of space and there is a 7/11 store close by if you don't want to eat out in one of the many resturants. Marlin offers a good alternative to a hotel stay.

Very spacious, clean and well equipped. However bed was a fold-down set-up which wasn't very comfortable. Customer Service: Night concierge wasn't in attendance when I arrived, and didn't show me to where I was staying, so I needed to make a couple of trips back to his office to clarify directions. No billing/invoice service available when checking out the following morning: had to ring the booking line between 9am and 5pm to request via email.

Tha flat was very modern and spacious and only a few minutes from the underground. Had to figure out the heating etc and it would have been better if the staff and taken us through things and also gave us some direction abput the area.
Nice restruants around canary wharf the restruant on the corner of Byng St was good as was the turkish restruant T canary wharf on the river were very good. Only 1 stop from O2 so don't get a taxi!!

I booked a one bedroom apartment at Marlin having become stranded in London due to the bad weather. Upon arrival i was greated very warmly and given a two bedroom apartment for the same cost. I was very impressed with the apartment . No hesitation in recommending these apartments.

Couldn't have been more helpful. Will definatley us again

Fantastic modern accommodation. Spacious and clean with well equipped kitchen area. Great view from balcony. Short walk to DLR station. We paid a discounted price so was excellent value for money.

First time we'd ever considered an apartment over a hotel. What a great way to have all the home comforts with flexibilty. The apartment was well presented, clean and a good standard. We'll be going back and probably not look at a hotel again.
Some people may be put off as it's not in central London, but the apartment is only a 5 min walk to the tube and then it's 12 mins to Waterloo. Canary Wharf istself is a great place to spend some time chilling out around the Bars Coffee shops and restarants. I like my 5 star hotels, but the apartment was just as good and much better value for money.

Although it wasn't the best view in the world from my room, it was however an excellent good value clean apartment slap bang in the middle of the Docklands. The location is great, it was straight forward to book and felt like a home away from home. As a Londoner it felt like a great convenient get-away. I would imagine it to be a really handy place for a visitor or family from out of town to stay in. I would come again.

The one bedroom apartment are generous in size and althoug though showing signs of frequent usage were clean and well maintained. This apartment overlooked the internal courtyard so was quiet at night. Easily walkable distance to Canary Wharf tube, shops and offices.

The apartment was perfect, easily big enough for the six of us who stayed. If i needed a place in east London again i we would definitely rebook

Very basic accomodation

Small but satisfactory apartment with wall-mounted bed. Useful late shop very near and good pub just up the road. Security check-in details had not been e-mailed to me before travel but reception was staffed when I arrived.
