The hype
Travelers love the pool and the super-convenient location for events, but everyone mentions the 'tired' carpets and hallway wear.
Aloft London Excel
$150-250 / 박
다음의 경우 예약하세요 You have a badge for a conference at ExCeL and want to roll out of bed directly into the convention hall.
사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- Direct indoor connection to ExCeL London (no rain!)
- Rare-for-London indoor pool ('Splash') with sauna and steam room
- One minute walk to Prince Regent DLR station
한눈에 보기: A fun, funky business hotel that's absolutely perfect for conventions but a logistical headache for standard London sightseeing.
@galavanting_escapades_님의 리뷰: I was blown away by how much space I had in this suite. It's rare to find this kind of room to breathe in London, and the staff really looked after me with that welcome gift. Perfect spot if you need to be near the convention center.

Reality check
The 'waterfront' views promised in older reviews are largely gone due to new construction; you're likely staring at a building site or a car park.
- You are attending an event at ExCeL or the O2 Arena
- You need a proper gym and pool to decompress after work
- You are traveling with a dog (they are genuinely pet-friendly)
청결 & 유지관리
8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable, though recent reviews cite 'missed spots' and 'opt-in' confusion.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but the open-plan design means water splashes onto the bedroom floor easily.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Expect scuffed hallways, stained carpets in high-traffic areas, and 'tired' soft furnishings.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—crisp white sheets, but towels can feel a bit thin/scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the signature 'Aloft' fragrance (fresh/citrusy), hallways can be musty.

예약 전에
알아둘 사항
- The hotel is technically in Zone 3; factor travel costs into your budget
- Breakfast is ~£17.50 and decent, but there's a grab-and-go pantry open 24/7
- The 'Splash' pool has specific hours (6am-11pm) and can get crowded with families on weekends
준비물
- Swimsuit for the 11-meter indoor pool and sauna
- Earplugs for the DLR train noise
- UK power adapter (though some panels have EU plugs, don't risk it)
객실 지니
최고의 선택
- High floor (4th+) facing away from the DLR track for minimized noise
- Savvy Suite for a separate living area (often a cheap upgrade, though TV angle is awkward)
피해야 할 객실
- 2nd floor rooms (actually 1st floor) near the car park—noisy and zero view
- Any room directly facing the DLR tracks if you are a light sleeper
객실 요청 지니 – 복사 & 붙여넣기
“I am a light sleeper attending a conference. Please assign a room on the highest possible floor, facing AWAY from the DLR tracks and the construction site. Ideally a 'quiet side' room.”
자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is there a shuttle to London City Airport?
No free shuttle, but it's so close you don't need one. It's a 5-minute Uber or a quick DLR ride (change at Canning Town).
Can I walk to the O2 Arena?
Not directly. You can take the IFS Cloud Cable Car (fun, scenic) or the DLR/Tube (practical).
Is the pool free for guests?
Yes, the 'Splash' pool, sauna, and steam room are free for registered guests.
Does the hotel have parking?
Yes, but it's limited due to construction. Costs ~£20/day. Overflow parking is available at the ExCeL center nearby.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It's a buffet at Docksider Restaurant costing around £17.50 per person.
How far is central London?
Far. Expect 30-45 minutes via DLR and Jubilee Line to reach Bond Street or Westminster.
내부자 팁
- ✨
The 'Savvy Suite' upgrade is often surprisingly cheap (£50-ish) and gives you double the space.
- ✨
Don't rely on the hotel view; walk to the Royal Victoria Dock Bridge for the best sunset photos.
- ✨
The 'Re:fuel' pantry has a microwave you can use—great for heating up late-night snacks.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The glass shower stall has a blind, but you can still see silhouettes from the bed—awkward for colleagues sharing a room.
💡The 'floating' bed frame has sharp corners that are shin-destroyers in the dark.
💡Mobile signal can be spotty inside the rooms; rely on the Wi-Fi.
💡The 'Docksider' restaurant terrace used to have a view, but now it mostly faces a grey construction wall.
💡Housekeeping is 'opt-in' for points on some rates, meaning your room might not get touched unless you ask.
