The views toward Canary Wharf and the O2 are indeed spectacular, especially from the bar and restaurant at night. The well-maintained cabins, with their teak features and comfortable amenities, provide a quirky alternative to traditional hotels.”

wonderful experience!
comfy bed pleasant staff excel centre

the dock area near the yacht had some litter and i noticed a few people lurking around at night. this made walking back to the hotel a bit unsettling.

average stay with service concerns
slow check-in moldy duvet
the location was convenient for getting to the excel centre.
Check-in took over 20 minutes. I watched as other guests who arrived later were served first (it was frustrating). the double bed was two single mattresses pushed together. the duvet had what looked like mold on it.

Really good Stay on the Water
clean room generous size attentive service
i found the room impeccably clean. the size of the room, a classic king room river view, was quite generous and well-appointed. i especially appreciated the attentive service from the staff throughout my stay.
i noticed that some areas showed minor wear and tear (specifically a bit of peeling wallpaper in the bathroom).
