Good location for Excel and surrounding dockland venues. Our room was quiet. We could open the window but there was noise from the nearby airport. Looking out on to a stony vista. Strange layout in our twin room as the loo was located around the corner from the bathroom which had a separate shower and bath. Staying here suited our needs, so if all you need is a bed for the night I would recommend

Very pleasant and comfortable stay

Very pleasant stay - I have stayed here before so I knew that the Hotel was very clean and the rooms were a very good size and very clean. The only issue we had was that the room key didn't work when we first checked in but I understand this was a technical issue within the hotel which was rectified later that evening.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
At first glance, the hotel looks nice, but the furnishings and finishes were rather poor quality and showing signs of wear. The lobby bathrooms were always dirty, and our room had about 6" of dust on the shower vent that we had to report to the staff to clean. Plus, the tub was dirty (we didn't even think of using it), the toilet area smelled of urine the entire time of our stay, and dust was hanging from the ceiling over our bed. The breakfast buffet kicked us out as soon as the hours over. The other restaurant had an extremely limited menu. Plus, we were yelled at for eating outside food in the lobby (even though the hotel restaurant had already stopped serving.) There were three of us staying in our room, and we had no space to eat in there. Plus, the fitted sheet did not tuck in on the top, and the bare mattress kept being exposed which is completely unsanitary. I also do not recommend if you are planning on visiting the city center a lot since it is a bit of a trek to get there.

So we arrvived early to check-in and joined the que but staff failed to keep to this and allowed 2 people to jump in before me. Room was warm and a lack of plug sockets also the TV had a crack in the center on the screen i reported this and not repaired and offered a desk fan to try and help with room temp but lack of sockets ment could not use. Breakfast was ok food below average with only choice of sauce being tomato. For the price you can get a better quantity of room for location

This hotel was roomy for a London hotel. Very convenient for us to be a short walk to restaurants and the cable car to the O2 arena. Conveniently located near Excel and the Elizabeth Line railway, which took us to Heathrow Airport any many tourist attractions without having to change trains. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Maid service daily
