Good food and location.

Lovely hotel with very helpful staff. Great location for Excel. The room was big enough for two with all the facilities fitted in a relatively small space. The bed was firm, which was okay for me, but my wife was not a fan. The restaurant staff were very attentive and helpful and the food was good. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and good quality food.

Mohammed at the desk was great. Inability to talk to hotel was frustrating from moment one. Expedia was not helpful there either. Could not adjust anything and though I told them well ahead one room would leave one day early there was no willingness to give credit…though we had 7 people for 6 nights. Nights were impossible to cool despite being cold outside. Needed a fan plus windows open to be bearable. That was for all 4 rooms. Also have two elevators to get from room to hotel exit.

Overall, this is an OK hotel. Pretty much what you would expect for a typical Novotel. Depending on the time of year (and potential events happening at the Excel), I have found room rates between £100 & £300. The issue for me is the lack of proper air conditioning. The controls in the bedrooms have little affect on the temperature (summer or winter). The result is an extremely hot & stuffy room, with a small window that only opens a small amount. I have stayed several times and always reported the issue, but it hasn't changed. As a result, our company will now be using an alternative hotel for future stays.

Fabulous hotel, superb location, great bar

Our first choice when visiting London. A great hotel with a fabulous terrace for a coffee or a cocktail, soaking up the sun. Easy access to the city and great to pop over to the O2 on the cable car for dinner. Lovely meal in the restaurant one night with attentive service from Klea.

Average at best

Run down bedroom. Mouldy shower. Toilet in a tiny separate room from the bathroom. Too small and claustrophobic. Fridge light (with glass front) kept coming on in the night so i had to unplug it. Breakfast hidiously expensive for average food.

Great for ExCel events!

This hotel is so close to ExCel! So very convenient. The breakfast buffet is very good too. One thing that could be improved is the outlet situation--it was very difficult and inconvenient to charge devices.
