Loved by The Pilot Inn guests
"The room we had was 5pm, rooms are clock times which is a quirky touch with clocks on doors, our room was small but adequate for a 1 night stay."
"The venison faggots at dinner were tremendous and the others enjoyed their steaks."
"The deluxe double rooms are a fair size with interestingly themed rooms (ours had framed 'Eagle' comic covers and Anthony Buckeridge 'Jennings' paperbacks)."
Ten Boutique Bedrooms
The Pilot Inn offers ten individually designed bedrooms with 1600-spring mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets. Rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, iPod docks, and Nespresso coffee machines. Spacious en-suite bathrooms feature rainfall showers and heated floors.
Modern British Pub
The open-plan kitchen serves seasonal modern dishes and pub favorites, including award-winning ales and daily fresh fish options. Traditionally battered fish comes with chips, garden peas, or mushy peas. The bar offers real ales, international bottled beers, and Sipsmith London spirits.
Greenwich Peninsula Location
Located in Greenwich, The Pilot Inn is a 5-minute walk to the O2 Arena and Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park. It is close to ExCel London, Canary Wharf, Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory Greenwich, Greenwich Park, Old Royal Naval College, and London City Airport.
Event Spaces Available
The dining area extends into the garden for events. Private-hire options accommodate parties and business meetings. The Captain's Cabin area welcomes well-behaved dogs. Gluten-free menu options are available upon request.
Parking and Policies
The car park has a maximum 3-hour stay unless approved by management, enforced by 24-hour ANPR CCTV with £200 fines for violations. Motorhomes occupying more than 2 spaces must park on the roadside. Bar hours are 12:00-21:00, food served 12:00-20:00.
“For a boutique experience near the O2, this place surprises with its commitment to good food, setting it apart from standard hotels. The individual rooms exude a quirky charm, offering modern comforts without being cookie-cutter. I think its relaxed pub atmosphere and garden views are ideal for unwinding after exploring Greenwich.”

The location was acceptable given its proximity to public transport.
The noise early in the morning WAS unacceptable, I could hear banging doors. constant banging doors from other guests was terrible. The corridor WAS very narrow too.

i found the staff friendly. he even received a shirt for me and placed it in my room. the bar staff worked efficiently, and a lovely cleaning lady greeted me to ask if i wanted my room tidied. i secure hotel.
The corridors felt a bit narrow, but honestly, it didn't bother me much. The rooms were located close together, so the noise in the mornings wasn't great.
