Okay but attention to detail missing
Nice hotel, let down by some details.
Charging £20 for parking is a bit much and a further £25 “which will be returned in a few days” wasn’t a great start. I get taking card details, but shouldn’t be taking money…
Room was spacious and clean, but no power point by a mirror for my wife to do her hair.
I went for a swim, and the first changing booth didn’t have a lock on it. Went to do a timed swim so checked the clock when I set off. Swam some lengths and checked the clock which hadn’t moved - clearly the battery had run out and not been replaced.
The little things make the difference between average and good…

O2 Visit
We were visiting the O2, even though this hotel is next to The Excel it is also a great location for the O2. Easy access to the Cable Car across the Thames (2 stops on the DLR) or a couple of stops on the tube/DLR.

Convenient for Excel
Decent sized room. Quiet location. Friendly staff. Very convenient to Excel and the DLR. Pillows on the bed were flat and very uncomfortable. Weird lighting in room. Could not find a switch to turn the lighting off over the coffee making station in room which was annoying when we went to sleep. Really appreciated the gym, pool and sauna facilities. Two days there were mum and baby classes going on in pool - which was a bit of a squeeze, but they were friendly enough. Just something to be aware of if you're planning a day time swim.

Great stay. Hotel staff were great and a great location near to the Elizabeth Line
Very clean, modern, and comfortable. The king-sized bed had beautiful crisp white sheets and was very comfortable. I came her for the pool and sauna which my child loved. The room has tea and coffee. We got robes ans slippers on request plus a toorh brush kit. The snack bar and restaurant are very convenient. I recommend the hot chocolate from the snack area. Its a good price for London and close to the DLR. So its easy to get to anywhere central in London. There are some works going on at the Excel but that didnt bother us. The TV in the room is large. The air con and heating very efficient. They also have a bar area with table top games. The staff are friendly and professional. A fun thing to do in the half term break.

Hotel was good, room was okay for comfort but we didn’t sleep hardly due to air conditioning not working. There were No windows to open so this made it worse. We were out all day back late each evening so to late to call reception.

A Nice Stay In A Quiet Hotel
This was a lovely hotel, reception staff were very nice and helpful. Food was good, but restaurant staff kept forgetting what we asked for. Would have been nice to know building works were going on.

Great located hotel in London Excel
Excellent located hotel in excel. Great of you are attending excel conference or forums. Near DLR. offers parking too. Which is amazing in London. However, like before the room’s thermostat was off set and continued to throw cold air. This I experienced in my previous stay too. The thermostat is limited in its settings and cold air fan automatically switches on even when you try to increase room temperature
