I haven't stayed there for some time so this might have changed again but I doubt it.
I do think the route via the O2 is substantially longer than the outdoor route.

They posted on facebook last week about their shuttle driver, though I can't seem to post FB links, but it also says:
*The Hotel Shuttle operates Mon-Fri to/from North Greenwich Station between 8:00am - 7:00pm (11:00am - 3:00pm on request)

Thanks for that, no mention of the shuttle on the website, must be a new thing. it has been remarked on trip advisors reviews 6-7 times in the last week

for the record can you point to the complaint about the distance to walk ?
Let me sum it up. Pouring with rain = soaked as the walk is all outside. Coming direct from airport, no umbrella. Also unsure about the lighting on the route at nighttime.
Saw some chat about a shuttle. Now confirmed that it runs at certain times.Thread advised there is a permanent alternate route that goes thru the O2.

The walk from the hotel to the station is not pleasant to do at night as it's quite secluded and devoid of any other people.
Also...it rains in London almost every other day...so you must like getting wet while pulling your luggage through the downpour.

Can't say I've ever found the walk from the station to the hotel to be unpleasant personally. I've stayed here more than forty times and have done the walk at all hours of the day including at 4am and have always encountered someone on the way, in the early hours its normally O2 Security.
Unlike when the hotel first opened the lighting is more than adequate and the area is well covered with CCTV. I suppose everyone is different but I have never felt unsafe around the hotel or the station at any time.

I guess everyone is different and if you are a snowflake you whinge. Anyone who says it rains every other day is deluded. This is a great hotel that is well priced, but I guess some premadonnas are never happy.

“snowflake”, “whinge”, “deluded”, “premadonna”, “lazy”, that’s quite the haul of contentious and derogatory terms in your 2 posts here, from an 8 post/15 month veteran, on what was until then an entirely tame discussion as to routes and transport to/from the tube to the hotel.
Now, without the rhetoric, as per my previous post can you point to the post where a complaint was made about the distance of the walk that left you aghast at “lazy” people.

Stayed here on Friday night. No upgrade (we don't upgrade ambassadors on reward bookings), no welcome gift or any perks. First room allocated smelled strongly of weed when walking in, called down and was moved - lower floor with downgraded toiletries. No water in the room.
Didn't even get an apology for the first room. I will stick to Hilton Conrad in London.

Does somebody have a contact at the hotel? I am trying to get some information and would like to arrange some things for a stay at the end of March.
Sent emails to the addresses on their homepage (info(at)iclondon-theo2.com & clubintercontinenta(at)iclondon-theo2.com) and did not receive a reply for nearly two weeks now...

Try the following one which is for the club lounge but they can usually assist with requests etc.

Actually, that's one of the addresses given by the poster above. I thought I had taken a taken a contact card after my stay a few weeks ago, but can't find it. The welcome letter does say - contact our Guest Relations team on "extension 6827" should you require anything ... in case you want to phone the hotel directly.

They have responded to me from the club one in the last week as I’m there next week for a special occasion so it does work.
looking through previous communications I also have the one below but it was a while back so may not work anymore.
