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

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.
