Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location for those with early flights from London City Airport, but cleanliness and tight spaces could be improved. The staff is friendly all around, from the manager to housekeeping, and the service is satisfactory albeit with some minor hiccups. Dining options offer a good variety but checking out could be smoother.
I stayed at this hotel and found that while the location was excellent, close to the Excel Convention Centre and with helpful staff, there were some issues with the rooms and service. The rooms were not as expected, and I was disappointed with the lack of response from the staff when requesting a different room. The service was a mixed bag, ranging from being friendly and accommodating to instances of rudeness and unhelpfulness.
The hotel's location was ideal, just a few minutes walk from Prince Regent docklands station, making it excellent for my needs. The rooms were a bit small, and unfortunately not accessible for people with mobility problems. The service was great for business travelers, though there was a slight inconvenience with invoicing. The dining experience was decent, but there were better options available nearby. The hotel offers a convenient location close to the Excel Exhibition Centre and Gatwick Airport.
