    The toilet and shower room are separate and the toilet doesn't have a sink to wash the hands u have to go to the shower room to use the water.

    Location is excellent, one minute walk to the metro station. Street food was awesome over there.

    My queen size bed is a combination of two single bed, which leaves a “crest” on the centre. Also, the bedsheet is loose and goes out couple of times

    Friendly staffs. Clean room and a good gym at 8th floor.

    Still enjoyed the stay at the hotel, but the ‘room upgrade’ felt more like a ‘downgrade’

    When we arrived after a long journey from Cardiff, we were very kindly given a room upgrade to Executive room. Anyone would be right to think that that would imply that the room & facilities in the room would be much improved from the room I booked. Unfortunately it wasn’t and I wished I’d declined the upgrade as the room I booked originally was much better. The bathroom in the executive room was tiny and the toilet was seperate to the bathroom, in what I can only describe as a ‘broom cupboard’ I’m not exaggerating, you literally couldn’t go in & then shut the door behind you!!! Really disappointing, as nice as the gesture was to upgrade us, I wish it hadn’t been offered, the room definitely wasn’t worth the money I originally spent on the booking.

    Location was perfect for the event we were attending at the Excel, staff, facilities & food were all great. I booked a standard room with Queen size bed for 3 nights was looking forward to the good size bathroom & room.

    Although we got offered an upgrade the room still had a full bin and bottles everywhere.

    It is so close to excel and transport links. We checked in early and got offered an upgrade.

    Great location to the ExCeL Arena. Excellent food and helpful staff.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room with Two Single Beds

    Bathroom although adequate was pretty small. Separate toilet which was right next to entrance and in a small, dark cubby hole with very little room, no ventilation nor cleaning products (brush, air freshener, etc.). Entrance to room really tight on space with hardly any room for hanging clothing. Lighting in room rather limited.

    Location to ExCeL arena was excellent. Breakfast buffet hot and cold - excellent food quality and constantly replenished. Evening meal - excellent quality produce and value for money. Room - bed really comfy and no noise interruptions. Plenty of plug sockets. Particular shout out to staff members Klea and Jackson who provided excellent service with food and drinks.
