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.

Great base, Terrible Beds

Overall was a good base for what we were in London for. Right by the venue. However the beds were tremendously hard. Was like sleeping on a log.

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.

Overall satisfied, the staff managed to surprise us with a free drink and a gift in the room as it was my Birthday weekend. The only issue was smell in the actual toilet.

The aircon wasn’t working in our room and it was very hot. Although the room was clean, it was definitely tired. Lots of areas of damaged paint, damage to some of the bathroom fittings (didn’t affect use but didn’t look great). Pillows had seem better days and sofa bed cushions were stained. However the staff were very friendly and the hotel location is excellent for the excel.

Great location

Always a good stay/ location for the horse show. Breakfast good choice but need more drinks machines or separate hot water for tea as 2 machines not enough for volume of customers. Reception toilets always smell stale though so please consider an air freshener with regular bursts !!

The accommodation was in a perfect location for London Excel with excellent public transportation getting there. My room was comfortable and quiet. The only 2 main problems were in the bathroom. The bathroom sink wouldn’t drain which was a bit gross. The shower head was impossible to tilt down therefore the water shot out horizontally, this was awkward.
