Fox Connaught London ExCel

I didnt think this was a good hotel, however it was super cheap and near the Airport, so we didnt mind the stay.

Hotel was quite cheap and it was obvious why when staying. Very cold room, storage heater took all night to heat the room so had to wear clothes in bed as could see my breath it was that cold and there was a massive water stain on the wall. Breakfast was pastries, toast and cereal (no gluten free options so I skipped it but it looked ok)

Very kind and helpful staff. Offered to help with getting our luggage up the stairs. The room was very dirty. Huge water stains tyrned ornage/brown on the walls. Dusty and food/drink stains on the walls. Didnt even wanna take a shower, dont think I've been to a hotel this dirty in my life. We were only there one night, so we didnt care. Wouldn't stay there again because of lack of cleanliness.

On arrival at the building, we were hit by unpleasant stale smell from the entrance and walking through to the reception where the room key was handed over. On getting to the room, it was freezing, switched on the small heater mounted on lower part of wall which wasn't doing much. There was permanent stain around edges in shower tray. I went downstairs and asked the receptionist about the heating and was told it takess about 10 minutes to heat up the room. The didn't properly warm up until later i the evening, having checked in around 3pm, so had to stay in a cold room. The mattress was terribly uncomfortable that both my partner and I had body ache. I was informed by one of the ladies at the bar that breakfast starts at 7.30am and finishes at about 10am. We went downstairs for breakfast just before 9am but the bar area was closed and there was no one to ask for information. Breakfast was included in booking but wasn't provided, so we checked out just past 9am. I will not be coming back to this place and definitely will not be recommending it to anyone.

Another brilliant stay here. Really liked the room I was in, which was in good condition. There was an issue with my room when I checked in, but it was sorted out. The bar downstairs is also really good. I will keep coming back when I need to get a hotel in the area.

The staff are friendly. The room is wider than expected. I can have quick breakfast in the restaurant area so its good for trips with tight schedules. P.s. I heard some sound from running DLR but it’s not loud. If you’re not sensitive to a low level sound during sleep it will be a good choice for stay.

Had a decent stay in room 1.....bed was comfortable though the room and shower are looking a bit dated and tired...but for the price it was what i expected.

Really liked my stay here and would definitely go back. I thought the room was really good and I liked the bar/atmosphere downstairs. The breakfast could be improved though, I felt like it was very minimalistic.
