We stayed during an Anthony Robbins seminar, so with 6500 people leaving the Excel at the same time each day, there were times when reception was overloaded. However, the staff are all professional and friendly. Position couldn't be better for Excel (25 metres from the door). Room was very comfortable. Bar was friendly, with great nuts! A bit pricey, but... More

We stayed here during a fair and the rooms are nice and clean, however without all the frills you would expect from a Starwoodmember..no bathrobe, toiletbrush (?), only one trashbin.. The staff is really nice and if you are exhibiting or visiting Excel, this is the perfect location. The grab&go breakfast is terrible, I can' t believe that they serve... More

Extremely convenient for Excel Centre, City airport and Canary Wharfe as free shuttle is provided Mon-Friday to and from the Wharfe. Very handy for the DLR (two minutes walk) Large bedroom, comfortably furnished and very quiet. Staff pleasant and very helpful. Breakfast good and can take sandwich and yogurt etc with you if you prefer to eat mid-morning instead of... More

Stayed here as my usual choice was full. Never again. No queuing system for check in, a walking robot - no idea what that was about. Only food available in the hotel is from a "grab & go" bar which is ok if you want a sandwich, crisps o bar of chocolate - the hotel call ths " refuelling". Not... More

Myself and a friend stayed in this hotel as we were going to the O2 for a concert . The location is ideal because the Docklands Prince Regent Railway station is in the hotel and it is 2 stops to Canning town and then 1 stop on underground to North Greenwich , this saved a fortune in cab fares ....

Ok so location isnt the best for central london sightseeing but then again you're not paying central London prices. My husband and I stayed 2 nights last weekend. Drove from Wales, was a bit tricky to find ( a tip for your sat nav - put in prince regent DLR), car park had spaces readily available and was free. Check... More

We have stayed here quite a few times as it can be a great bargain at times. Easily accessible on the DLR line it can be quite a saving from central city hotels. Being only about 6 months old it follows in the line of all other Aloft hotels with very modern, clean spaces and efficient rooms that offer all... More

After having visited an ALoft hotel for the first time I am still not quite sure where this chain fits into the SPG family. Car prking was not obvious, and when I found it I spent 5 minutes and three buzzes of the buzzer trying to get in. Check in wasn't painless either. Although the booking was prepaid, the card... More

My family and I visited the hotel for a three day visit. We were awoken the first morning at 6:30 a.m. by the sounds of what turned out to be a false fire alarm!! My two young children were petrified and in tears during the course of this, obviously no one slept afterwards and our day planned with sightseeing ended... More
