Felt like it was a bad day on the day we chose to go, we were told on arrival they had no double rooms left as they were at capacity even though a double was booked for my fiancée and I and were given a family room instead and offered free parking (a mere £20) we were informed the room was bigger which was the only difference only to accept and see that they had given us 2 very small double beds which were set on opposite sides of the room. Upon checkout there was literally a queue of complaints waiting to speak to the duty manager. Very unorganised and unprofessional for the standards of “The Marriott”

The location is great for attending events at the Excel Centre, or nearby areas such as Canary Wharf, Greenwich, etc. It is also convenient because it is right off the Prince Regent DLR station. Just be aware that if you need to get to tourist attractions, many of them are at least 40 minutes away via transit.

Lovely hotel

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Excel Centre. Very stylish hotel, looks very new, and spotlessly clean, everything functioning well, Big comfortable bed. Fridge in room is nice touch. Staff very friendly and helpful and responsive. Hot buffet Breakfast was good, but limited fruit selection and breads on offer. I didn’t like having to pay a £25 deposit at check in, even though our room was paid in full in advance, refund taking up to 4 days.
