Pool open late
This hotel was great! The indoor swimming pool stays open until 11 pm and they provide robes for the pool upon request. The pool area is nice and warm. The hotel and room was clean. I wish it was closer to Heathrow though. It is right at the District Line, so it is conveniently located for the tube.

Good stay on the whole.
Good stay only thing that could have been better was breakfast could have been hotter, toaster in wrong position as if you just wanted toast had to wait in queue. Also very thin bread for toast. No cranberry juice.

Okay but attention to detail missing
Nice hotel, let down by some details.
Charging £20 for parking is a bit much and a further £25 “which will be returned in a few days” wasn’t a great start. I get taking card details, but shouldn’t be taking money…
Room was spacious and clean, but no power point by a mirror for my wife to do her hair.
I went for a swim, and the first changing booth didn’t have a lock on it. Went to do a timed swim so checked the clock when I set off. Swam some lengths and checked the clock which hadn’t moved - clearly the battery had run out and not been replaced.
The little things make the difference between average and good…

O2 Visit
We were visiting the O2, even though this hotel is next to The Excel it is also a great location for the O2. Easy access to the Cable Car across the Thames (2 stops on the DLR) or a couple of stops on the tube/DLR.

Convenient for Excel
Decent sized room. Quiet location. Friendly staff. Very convenient to Excel and the DLR. Pillows on the bed were flat and very uncomfortable. Weird lighting in room. Could not find a switch to turn the lighting off over the coffee making station in room which was annoying when we went to sleep. Really appreciated the gym, pool and sauna facilities. Two days there were mum and baby classes going on in pool - which was a bit of a squeeze, but they were friendly enough. Just something to be aware of if you're planning a day time swim.

Great stay. Hotel staff were great and a great location near to the Elizabeth Line
Very clean, modern, and comfortable. The king-sized bed had beautiful crisp white sheets and was very comfortable. I came her for the pool and sauna which my child loved. The room has tea and coffee. We got robes ans slippers on request plus a toorh brush kit. The snack bar and restaurant are very convenient. I recommend the hot chocolate from the snack area. Its a good price for London and close to the DLR. So its easy to get to anywhere central in London. There are some works going on at the Excel but that didnt bother us. The TV in the room is large. The air con and heating very efficient. They also have a bar area with table top games. The staff are friendly and professional. A fun thing to do in the half term break.

Hotel was good, room was okay for comfort but we didn’t sleep hardly due to air conditioning not working. There were No windows to open so this made it worse. We were out all day back late each evening so to late to call reception.
