My company had 8 rooms at this hotel in January for BETT and we just booked 12 rooms for January 2014. This hotel was great except for one issue that my team unanimously complained about. The breakfast was awful! We were able to pick 3 things a la cart and it was extremely limited and not at all filling. Were... More

Great hotel, loved tghe public areas and also the room, but location was really far out and not really "Docklands" as profiled. I was an 45+ minutes into central london by tube. Breakfast was not that great value either. But overall enjoyed our stay.

We chose this hotel because of its location near the airport. We had some difficulty on our arrival as it had indicated it was near the DLR station but the entrance is at a distance and on a different level so when you have heavy bags to manoeuvre it is not easy. We found the taxi a much better alternative... More

This hotel seems to have placed all of its effort into looking funky, modern and stylish, and lost sight of its main aim: to provide a comfortable night's sleep, a good breakfast, and to make the guests feel welcome and valued. :( Arrival from Prince Regent DLR station was confusing, as it brings you out on a higher level than...

The hotel looks modern and is very clean. The room is similar and very functional with a desk and free wired internet. There is a fridge and two bottles of Highland Spring water. I went to the restaurant at about 8:30pm to be told that there were no tables even though there was lots of space and tables with no-one... More

I booked the Aloft via the Expotel booking company for a business event. On arrival, the hotel is stunning. It's a beautiful, unusual and striking building, one of the best i've seen. It is quite outside central London (zone3) but was a perfect location to attend a business event at the Excel. Unfortunately it was the lack of customer service... More

After reading the many reviews I decided to stay here and was happy to not have been disappointed. PLACE: The location of the hotel is quite good (Prince Regent station), though this will really depend on your travel plans. For example, if arriving from heathrow the excel area can take up to 2 hours to reach (1 hour from the... More
