Lovely hotel

This hotel is always spotless and smells really good. The location is great for the Excel centre. I’d like to see a few more healthy options on the dinner menu. The staff are always very welcoming.

Overall nice stay! Would have been nice to know that the DLR stop on the train was closed during visit before we got there but overall great stay! Checked in early (fee) and ate at the restaurant for dinner on property which was good. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Would recommend if you are traveling to London on a budget.

Excellent location for the Excel with super convenient access to public transport. I didn't expect much from a convention centre hotel but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. The hotel reception and breakfast staff were super friendly and attentive and the hotel made the effort to make visitors welcome, even decorating the hotel for the occasion. Only one very small minus is one staff member on arrival who was not so pleasant and quite dismissive of guests and really gave off the vibe he hated guests which is a shame because when returning later and throughout the stay the other staff members were so so nice. Definitely will stay here next time.

Lovely hotel right next to Excel and 2 minute walk onto the DLR platform. Great breakfast with a nice outside area for coffee. Room was spacious and very smart with a really good shower and bathroom area. Overall a great place to stay eitherfor Excel events or easily exploring central London.

Great base for the ExCel

Great location for the ExCel and getting to the city. Hotel staff are very excellent, really great service. Hotel comfortable, evening menu is good. Breakfast menu is reasonable. Gym is spacious, equipment is pretty good for a hotel. Pool and spa a bonus. A good stay and would definitely boom again.

The hotel was very clean. The gym and the pool facilities were nice too. Vishva was so lovely in assisting my wife and I with breakfast in the morning given our personal circumstances. She had shown true empathy which is key to great customer service and we really appreciate it!
