Harlinger Lodge

Really cute spot with all the facilities needed. A little off the beaten path but next to the Thames walk and close to public transit. Would recommend

Seriously this review could look like a paid advert. we stayed here on the last leg of our 5-week trip to the UK. we choose Woolwich because we have family nearby, so it was convenient for that as well as its proximity to London. As hosts, Gamal, and his wife could not have been more helpful, courteous, and friendly, making us feel completely at home. They spent time explaining the easiest way to transit to London, an excellent rundown on the facilities etc. The room was well kitted out with Microwave and a fridge, cutlery, etc and was spotless, the bed was comfortable and the bedding crisp and fresh. There is a communal kitchen with a free-to-use washing machine and dryer, a rarity for free use from our experience. the site is on a quiet street with only one way out so no pass-through traffic, well insulated from outside noise. the site is a short walk to bus stops which take you onto Woolwich and beyond heading east and to Nth Greenwich terminal to the west, from there it's a very easy transit into London on the Jubilee tube line. When we return to London, space permitting, on the dates we will be there, this is where we will stay again.

Gamal gave us the option to check in early, and was there to greet us when we arrived to explain the lodges features. Parking wasn’t allocated but we had no problems finding a space, we parked a little bit further down road and there was also an apartment car park 30 seconds round the corner which always had spaces. In this car park there was a cut through to walk across the Thames river which was lovely! We followed this to the left and had breakfast at the arts cafe, would highly recommend this place, huge portions and very tasty food, would expect to pay more than we actually did. Bus stops are everywhere you can either get the bus to woolwhich station and catch the Elizabeth line or catch a bus to the 02 stadium and get the jubilee line into central London. Would recommend getting the bus to greenwhich park aswell for some good views of the city. Our room was nice, little bit small and our tv didn’t connect to channels very well, however you can’t complain for the price you pay.
