I stayed here for 3 nights while working at an event at the nearby ExCel. After travelling from Scotland and spending the afternoon in the centre setting up for an event, I was looking forward to a clean and comfortable room to relax and have a good night sleep in. That’s exactly what I got. The room was bigger than I expected, very comfortably furnished and super clean. I liked being able to open the window as I like fresh air coming in. There was plenty of external noise from both the building site at the back (which my room was facing, but I was out working all day so didn’t bother me), and overheard aircraft. However, I never heard a thing at night with the window closed and I slept really well every night. Breakfast was very enjoyable, good quality, good selection, freshly cooked and well presented. It was ideal for starting my busy days. This hotel was absolutely perfect for my needs. Close to the venue, and a room which was lovely to come back to after very busy days to unwind and relax in. If returning to this area again, it will definitely be my first choice to stay.

We stayed for one night prior to taking our little girl to the Jurassic World exhibition down the road. Room - Good, beds comfortable, view of a building site which didn’t bother us but maybe worth requesting a room at the front of the hotel if that’s something you’re bothered by. Shower was ok but not very powerful. Food - Breakfast was okay. Mix of continental and full English. Room service wasn’t available during our stay which was a shame, but we were told at check in that if we came down to the restaurant to order they would be able to prepare it in such a way that we could take it back to our room. There’s also a small Tesco on one side of the hotel and a Nisa on the other if you just want snacks etc. Facilities - good. We used the pool during our stay which brings me onto my next point. Staff - Excellent. I’d read some reviews that aren’t particularly complimentary of the staff but we couldn’t fault them from check in to check out. Our daughter was sick in the pool which meant they had to close it down and they couldn’t have been nicer about it (we were mortified! Sorry again!) they also gave my daughter a little activity pack on our way through reception to breakfast. We would definitely stay here again if we were visiting the Excel, which is just a few minutes walk away.
