Will be better when surrounding building work done

Good location for Excel . Modern hotel and nice rooms, will be better when surrounding building works complete . Pool is very small and I arrived during swimming lessons so very noisy . Changing rooms not great and no private shower.

Overall the hotel was an excellent experience. It was close to the train which made traveling into the city easier. It is far out from most London restaurants but again the train being so close made it easy to get around. The staff was always available to assist with anything when needed. The bar however was closed during our stay but luckily the restaurant was open with a bar.

★★★★★ Great Stay, Highly Recommend! Loved my stay at Aloft London Excel! Spacious, modern rooms, fantastic staff, and great amenities like the pool and gym. Perfect location for Excel events and easy transport links. A few minor areas for improvement, but overall, a top-notch stay—would definitely return!

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed here for the location primarily, as we needed access to the Excel Exhibition center. While it is connected as advertised, it's not a covered pathway. So if it's raining you will need an umbrella for the short walk. Other than location, we found our stay lacking in many areas for a four star property. The biggest issue was with the temperature control. We had two rooms on the sixth floor, we had to call the service engineer several times to fix the air conditioning. The room would get hot and stuffy and it would take hours to cool down. Toiletries like body lotion had to be asked for from housekeeping. Due to the Pokemon convention, the bar area was full of noisy rambunctious children as late as mid night. The hotel staff made no effort to ensure the other guests weren't disturbed by this. One of the bartenders was rude and condescending during a brief conversation. Food from the dockyard restaurant was also underwhelming. Overall, we won't be staying here for the next convention as there are hotels nearby that provide better value for money.

Facilities not great but everything else ok

Staff were friendly and the room was clean but the pool was not in working order for half the trip and then when it was it became apparent it was an unheated pool (unadvertised) so not suitable for kids. Also the restaurant has a limited vegan menu
