Solid stay near the ExCeL

spacious roombright roomluggage serviceoutdoor seating

The room was spacious and bright, a nice surprise. I used the luggage holding service after checkout, very convenient. The bar downstairs had a lovely outdoor seating area. The staff proved very helpful and cute throughout my stay.

I requested an ironing board at 7 PM but received it only at 9 PM. The board was small and difficult to use effectively.

The pub food was supposedly good, but I waited ages for it. Everything tasted overcooked. I suspect they forgot I even ordered. Breakfast was not good, either. I wish I had skipped it. the dining experience lacked care.

The bed was very comfortable. The showers were powerful too. Staff were amazing and very accommodating!

The stairs made so much noise. The rooms are not the biggest either. You tend to knock the lever for the shower when you are in it, there isn't much space.
