Recently stayed at the London excel Novotel and had a lovely experience. Staff were friendly and professional, room was clean and hotel was in a great location. My only negative was that the pillows could be improved in the room as I found them to be uncomfortable. More

I first stayed here in November, being lucky enough to get a room for £55 with Last minute.com Now that I know how to get it cheaply I stayed again on Feb 6th, £65 inc Breakfast. Its obviously not Central London, but on balance its worth the 30 min trek out. The rooms are really good standard with good beds... More

We have stayed here 3 or 4 times and have always enjoyed this hotel. The staff are friendly and courteous though the one lady at reception seemed a bit under pressure as we had booked 3 rooms. The electronic room card needed a bit of encouragement and you need this to access the first set of elevators. On here there... More

I have recently stayed at the Novotel London Excel with my family and one other family, totally 4 adults & 3 children 8-10 years old, for a long weekend, and we were very pleased with both the hotel and the location. The standard rooms are a bit small for a family and the extra sofa bed is not the best... More

I have given this hotel an average rating because my biggest bug-bear with hotels is bed comfort. This hotel is relatively new, its location is great and has good facilities and restaurants surrounding it. It is light, modern and has some lovely views. The manager was extremely helpful with a billing issue. HOWEVER, the one thing that lets it down... More

I stopped at this hotel on 14th December following a business trip to London to do some shopping the following day. The hotel was a lot cheaper than comparable standard ones which were more central, so I decided to make the trade off. Whilst the hotel is located in the Docklands next to ExCel (would be an excelled location for... More
