Aloft by Marriott London Excel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a really nice place. It’s right next to the Excel center, so it is absolutely ideal if you are in London for an event there. The DLR station is right next to it as well, so getting anywhere in London is super convenient. The restaurant is really good too. They take their time with food preparation, so don’t be in a hurry, that’s all. The chicken supreme is highly recommended. The breakfast is a buffet with a ton of popular English breakfast items. Just make sure you opt for adding breakfast at the time of booking, as it costs a LOT more if you pay for it on the day of. I will likely stay there again next time I go to London even if it is not for an Excel event."
