The location is great for attending events at the Excel Centre, or nearby areas such as Canary Wharf, Greenwich, etc. It is also convenient because it is right off the Prince Regent DLR station. Just be aware that if you need to get to tourist attractions, many of them are at least 40 minutes away via transit.

Lovely hotel

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Excel Centre. Very stylish hotel, looks very new, and spotlessly clean, everything functioning well, Big comfortable bed. Fridge in room is nice touch. Staff very friendly and helpful and responsive. Hot buffet Breakfast was good, but limited fruit selection and breads on offer. I didn’t like having to pay a £25 deposit at check in, even though our room was paid in full in advance, refund taking up to 4 days.

Wonderful place to stay clean comfortable

The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional and very helpful. Hats off the front desk staff dealing with lots of inquiries and the manager on duty in the afternoon 30/08/25 forgot his name was so patient and sorted all our requests promptly and professionally as it was my son’s birthday and nothing was too much for him. The rooms were very clean and breakfast so good with plenty of options and staff so helpful and cheerful. The location is excellent by the Excel and lots of things to do and it’s near the motorway. It offers plenty areas to sit and relax outside of the rooms with a convenient cafe on site where u can buy snacks which is good. It is very quiet no noisy and we slept really well. In the passage areas it well lit and some beautiful soft and relaxing music playing at the background during the day. We highly recommend and will certainly be back.

It is a very nice hotel but, they need to balance there late checkouts as I got there at 15:45 and my checkin wasn’t until 16:30 which is almost a hour in the lobby waiting. The restaurant menu was limited and even when I express that menu is limited they weren’t willing to have any flexibility as they said even though it’s dead on 10pm and that there last call I can’t have any thing from the main menu…the reception staff were great and facilities very clean and presented well
