“In my opinion, Doubletree By Hilton London Excel's greatest strengths lie in its proximity to the ExCel and family-friendly touches, like complimentary breakfast for children. I think the waterfront location and warm cookies are nice, though some rooms might disappoint due to obstructed views. For business travelers needing easy access to events, it's a solid choice.”

Guests frequently appreciate the Doubletree By Hilton London Excel for its well-equipped and spacious rooms, with some even upgrading to deluxe king rooms to enjoy extra space and waterfall showers. The hotel's location is considered convenient, particularly for events at the ExCel, with easy access to the Elizabeth Line and DLR for exploring Canary Wharf, Tottenham Court Road, and attractions like Abba Voyage; plus, the reasonable £15-a-night parking is a definite perk for London.

unclean bed inadequate refund
I found hairs on the blanket, and also underneath it. this made me think the bedding wasn't changed, that is frustrating! i was offered free breakfast as compensation but by the time the bedding was changed it was nearly 2am, not useful. i asked for a partial refund but the manager only offered 10%. Unacceptable when i paid a lot for an unclean bed
