Perfect location to get In and out of the city
Right next to the DLR & Elizabeth line
Hotel beautiful
Clean, great bar, lovely staff great pool and sauna
It was a lovely stay at the marriot. The staff were lovely and really helpful. The only issue we had was that the station for tea's and coffees werent replaced during our stay.
Breakfast good. Lovely staff. Overall, an amazing experience.
The room was ace except for the open plan toilet area, staff were lovely, couldn’t afford the breakfast maybe next time, don’t forget to ask for the sauna to be turned on before you go down, was gutted the steam room didn’t work, nevermind you can’t have it all xx
The room was very clean, but the staff was amazing especially the restaurant staff they were so attentive and helpful even brought my children’s pancakes to the table for breakfast
A great choice near London City Airport. Large communal areas, spacious and well-organised rooms. Excellent breakfast; the gym and swimming pool area are fantastic.
I very rarely give five stars but honestly there is practically nothing I can think of that wasn't great. Rooms are nice, pool is nice, the staff are really friendly. I've stayed there for both Comic-Con and Pokémon Championships and I really love how the staff are always excited to ask questions about it (whereas some other hotels make it feel like I'm weird for having those interests). Also one of the easiest for the Excel. I've actually stayed here for work before where some people were put in different hotels, and Aloft is always seen as the lucky pick.
Only possible criticism is that it's pretty expensive, both for the room and food. It's not really too much more than other hotels in the area, but that's the worst thing I can think of.
it's one of the best hotels that we stayed in, and the customer service is amazing, the restaurant crew at the second floor, they have the best customer service skills, specially two induvial which we informed that manager how great they are.
This is a really nice place. It’s right next to the Excel center, so it is absolutely ideal if you are in London for an event there. The DLR station is right next to it as well, so getting anywhere in London is super convenient.
The restaurant is really good too. They take their time with food preparation, so don’t be in a hurry, that’s all. The chicken supreme is highly recommended.
The breakfast is a buffet with a ton of popular English breakfast items. Just make sure you opt for adding breakfast at the time of booking, as it costs a LOT more if you pay for it on the day of.
I will likely stay there again next time I go to London even if it is not for an Excel event.
Staff was really nice to me and my family . I would definitely recommend Aloft to friends and family . The rooms were okay and clean . I enjoyed using the swimming pool and sauna . All in all my experience was great ! I would definitely come again
Staff were amazing, always willing to ensure you enjoyed your stay. Breakfast was good! Room was cozy, I hardly wanted to step out 😁. Enjoyed the bar as well, particularly loved it’s ambiance.
First time saying at this hotel. It was very clean, quiet and had quick access to the Elizabeth Line. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived before our room was ready, but the front desk staff was kind enough to take our luggage and provided recommendations on where to get something to eat close by. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well maintained. While the pool was on the smaller side, we were thankful that there was a pool to enjoy during the heatwave. I would stay here again with no issues!
Excellent room size, super amenities, good breakfast and a short walk to Prince Regent DLR stop with speedy onwards connections at Custom House or Canning Town.
Fantastic staff - every person we met from Reception to maintenance were so helpful and professional. Great facilities and the perfect location for Excel.
