Top ExCel Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Facilities great. Could be better with little details like limescale removal over the shower. And airing the rooms a bit more. There was ice dispenser on the corridor. I have never seen that in a hotel, and this was the highlight for us as we needed to store expressed milk for the little one. A 8.5 out of 10 for me."

a&o London Docklands Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"I had a double bed room with a large balcony overlooking the Rotherhithe pier and across the Thames, Canary Wharf pier. It was a really nice touch having the balcony as the hotel was/is currently facing issues with their ac system not working around the hotel so I could leave my balcony door open for cool air as I slept. I did not have breakfast so I cannot speak on that. My room had bits of dirt here and there but nothing too crazy to complain to the staff about. Staff are friendly and helpful. Due to the convenience of staying right across from Canary Wharf (and it being a 2/3 minute boat ride away (free for guests staying at the A&O), I would definitely recommend staying here as I am already planning my next trip back."

Aloft by Marriott London Excel

10/10 Excellent

"They were extremely accommodating and fabulous. When we realized we needed to book one more day, we just paid for an extra day and they kept us in the same room. No questions asked when we needed help with something they were super helpful. I would definitely recommend that hotel"

InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property with direct access to the O2. The rooms were large, modern, and spacious. The pool has child-friendly hours and was a refreshing treat during the hot weather. The multiple restaurants with stunning views of the Thames and Canary Wharf were wonderful. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend and stay here again."

Fraser Place Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartment and decent size with somw rooms facing a nice marina. Great location close to tube and shops. Nice balconies too. Less good was the service- beds were not made, missing towels for the guests that were booked, air conditioning leaked lots of water etc.. Other than that I would stay again."
