the hotel has underground parking, if you are staying in the hotel, you should get a discount. when i booked as i had the youngest child with us we booked an adjoining room which wasn’t available. at first they gave us two rooms on to different floors. but eventually after asking swapped and had rooms on the same floor

Sleek, modern and ideally situated.

The trip was to attend the Formula E race at the ExCel, and so I chose this particular hotel because while I wanted just a place to rest my head after a long day, knowing I wasn’t going to be spending much time in the room, I also wanted to know that the time I did spend in the room, I would be comfortable. Unfortunately, I can’t say I was particularly comfortable in my room, although the rest of the hotel was as lovely as I remember from my previous visits. The hotel is in excellent condition, and offers a wide variety of facilities for mainly business orientated travellers. While I wouldn’t recommend the hotel as particularly family friendly, it is an excellent choice for those people who are attending any kind of convention at the ExCel, and indeed with its handy links to the O2 Arena and even Canary Wharf, it is ideally situated for those types of travellers.

Fabulous hotel, superb location, great bar

Our first choice when visiting London. A great hotel with a fabulous terrace for a coffee or a cocktail, soaking up the sun. Easy access to the city and great to pop over to the O2 on the cable car for dinner. Lovely meal in the restaurant one night with attentive service from Klea.

This hotel was roomy for a London hotel. Very convenient for us to be a short walk to restaurants and the cable car to the O2 arena. Conveniently located near Excel and the Elizabeth Line railway, which took us to Heathrow Airport any many tourist attractions without having to change trains. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Maid service daily
