Bad layout, poor condition, not at the Excel
Lifts are through the main restaurant so you have to pick your way through packed diners and servers every time you enter/exit the building, extra awkward with bags. Bed rock solid and bedding smelt like stale water, air conditioning started an awful loud death banging at 3am with no apparent way to turn off - you can only adjust the thermostat. Claims to be 5 minutes walk from the Excel but it's actually 20+ minutes walk from the back entrance all around the roads - better off staying further away near a DLR/Liz stop and you'll spend less time in transit!

Not anything special. A disappointment
For a double tree, a very unremarkable room with a ‘water view’. The room was in was so far round the building the promised water view was nothing short of a gap between a building. In checking out and picking up my back the staff member could not have been more uninterested

Super easy to get to the excel centre, only a short walk but a nice distance to go. Super easy to get around london, the dlr station is in perfect distance. A nice little bit of life around the hotel, with the pub just being over the road. Really good.

I'm a big fan of DoubleTree but this one was a little lacklustre. To be fair, check-in was superb. Staff is incredible, and they made the experience so easy. Quick check-in, and checkout. Easy to charge things to the room and pay. Dinner was disappointing. It was pricey and the quality was mediocre at best - I can cook better at home. In the room, we had no mini-fridge which was disappointing. Would I stay here again, yes, but I would probably eat out or order takeaway, or just stick to burger and chips.

Cookies and Cupcakes
It was our anniversary and they left us some amazing cupcakes in our room to say congrats, which was so lovely. They were also welcoming guests at check in with these ridiculously delicious warm cookies… I still dream about them. Bed was super comfy. The only thing I’d ask for improvement is to make the TV a smart tv, so that we can access our Netflix etc, but it’s not a big deal at all. The baked goods up for it

Front desk attendents were friendly and helpful. Communications needed to be available for breakfast prices and types of breakfasts. Maybe post it at the entrance. Staff had to scurry around for a breakfast menu when we asked. Room felt very tight once the sofa bed was out. Perhaps not rate this room as a family room but a regular room so we don’t get our expectation dashed. This room was a bit strange in the bathroom mirror had a two square feet area that didn’t fog up after a shower. Be warned there is no good options for food here . The only good place is a Chinese restaurant. Food is quite good but they are not available for breakfast.
