Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, right opposite the London Excel DLR station, making it convenient for transportation. The room was clean and serviceable, but being close to the lifts and breakfast room meant disturbances throughout the night and morning. The service was a bit lacking in warmth initially but improved with the lovely restaurant staff in the evening. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
The hotel had a good size room, very clean, with friendly staff, situated in a great location for the O2. However, the breakfast timings were unclear, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes. The parking fee of £16 was a downside; it should be free for guests and might deter me from returning.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I was given was already occupied, but they quickly sorted out an alternative room for me. The cleanliness was average, and the tea and coffee were not restocked. The food selection was limited and not very tasty.
The hotel was exceptionally clean and comfortable, nothing like the pictures on Booking. It felt more like the quality I would expect in a youth hostel but for ten times the price. While it's not for partying in the rooms, just for sleeping, it still provided a decent stay overall.
The hotel's location near Excel centre and Dockland Light Railway was excellent, but the noisy surroundings and distance from the city center were drawbacks. The rooms were well-designed and comfortable, although some areas were outdated. The service was polite and helpful, especially for directions. Dining was a mixed experience with good selections but questionable quality. Overall, the location and room comfort stood out, while noise disruptions and distance were issues to consider.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room had all the necessary facilities, it had definitely seen better days with stains on the walls and carpet. Additionally, being positioned directly above the hotel entrance led to a lot of noise, making it challenging to sleep. On the bright side, the service was decent, and the staff remained calm and friendly even during busy times. The location was convenient for my purpose, but the noise from the pub nearby was a drawback. The dining experience was satisfactory, although limited options were available. The facilities were average, with some areas showing signs of wear and tear.
My stay at the hotel was alright but had a few drawbacks. The rooms were fine and well stocked by the cleaning staff, but they had a strong smell of cigarettes. The £16 parking fee felt unnecessary for guests. The noise from plumbing and doors slamming was a bit bothersome, and although advertised on the website, this might make me think twice about returning.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. I appreciated the cleanliness and value for money, the convenience of having a pub next door for meals, and the private bathroom in the room. However, the room didn't match what I expected, being small with a tiny window and a twin bed layout that I didn't order.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit noisy with plumbing sounds and occasional door slamming, but they were still good value for money in terms of comfort and size. I had to be reallocated to an alternative room, which was a bit tatty and worn out. The service was a mixed bag with deliberate hot water shutoffs, but the staff were very welcoming and friendly, offering room service, laundry, wake-up service, and tours/ticket assistance. The location was almost perfect, especially for the Excel Centre and getting around that part of London, though I witnessed some issues with other guests being rebooked into a nearby hotel. The dining experience had its lows, with poor quality food that led me to skip breakfast on the second day of my stay. Overall, the facilities were decent, providing the basic amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
I found the hotel to be in a convenient location for accessing Greenwich Park and Excel. The rooms were clean and a good size, although the open fronted shelf/hanging arrangement was not to my liking. The bathroom was a bit cramped with limited space for toiletries. Despite these minor issues, the hotel's proximity to key attractions was a plus point.
The hotel room was small but purposeful, clean, and appropriate for our one-night stay. However, it had stains on the walls and carpet, and the noise from the entrance was quite disruptive. The shower temperature was inconsistent, swinging between cold and scalding, making it uncomfortable. It was very cold overall. The hotel had definitely seen better days.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location is convenient for the airport and Excel Conventions center, offering a good night's sleep, although not as desirable as being closer to London itself. The service was friendly but disrupted by loud late-night cleaning. The dining situation was chaotic and not well-informed, leading to additional costs for a missed breakfast. However, the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel was warm, clean, and comfortable with a clean and fresh atmosphere on the property. However, having to pay for parking was a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and welcoming, especially during check-out. The location couldn't have been better for me, being near the train station and perfect for activities at the Excel Centre. The dining experience offered a surprisingly good selection despite some initial hiccups. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value.
The hotel is ideally located for the ExCeL convention center, making it perfect for events, but the rooms are quite tatty with stained carpets and old furniture. Despite this, the design is thoughtful and functional. Service can be hit or miss, with some staff being abrupt, yet others are more accommodating. The dining options are varied and good value for money. The facilities are decent overall, but improvements in maintenance are needed.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Custom House ExCel station, making it excellent for events at the Excel and O2 arenas. The rooms are nice and clean, but some may have a strong smell of old cigarette smoke. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although some staff members seemed inexperienced. The dining options were limited, with basic breakfast choices. The location benefits event attendees but may not be the best for airport access. The facilities are decent, offering standard amenities for a comfortable stay.
