Its proximity to the Excel Centre and nearby tube stations are often mentioned as a plus for getting around London easily. Some guests have, however, noted that the sauna was out of order . the hotel is considered a good option, especially when attending events at the Excel.

room layoutdietary informationdishonest manager
The room layout was good.
The hotel restaurant had issues. The online menu lacked dietary information. I ordered a vegetarian pizza, but it contained cheddar cheese which caused a flare-up of my digestion condition. The manager dismissed my concerns and was dishonest about the ingredients.

The room was spacious. It also had generous areas to relax including the outside patio area by the restaurant.
The pool's closure lasted a day longer than stated on the website. The water felt very, very cold. Finding ice proved embarrassing. I had to visit the busy bar in my dressing gown late on a Saturday.
