We stayed here for one night on a Saturday night before the London Marathon. We had a very comfortable room with a great view. The rooms look brand new and the furnishings match this new and clean feel all the same. Fab shower in the room too. Quiet for a Saturday night too, which is unusual for a hotel especially... More

Stayed for 3 nights over the May bank holiday weekend for a romantic wknd. A welcoming, stylish, modern hotel with helpful, friendly and polite staff. The room was average sized, very clean and warm, with the usual tea & coffee facilities, refrigerator, iron/ironing board etc, a large TV and the bathroom was basic but spotless. I think the best bit... More

Booked for 3 nights over the May Bank holiday for the girlfriend as we had a few events booked in the London city. The hotel is about 40 minutes away by Docklands Light Railway (DLR) but trains are frequent (almost every 5 minutes) so it wasnt really a problem. i think the last one was about midnight so providing you...

Fantastic, modern, comfortable, relaxed and very welcoming. Brilliant friendly staff made our one night stay here very pleasurable. Room was very well appointed, lightning fast internet in the room and communal areas. Really felt like a home from home. Highly recommended.

We spent one night at Aloft, choosing it because of it's close proximity to London City Airport. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was fabulous, big and clean. The bathroom was spotless. The TV large, but my husband had trouble working it. Bed was comfortable. Enormous windows with fabulous views. Breakfast was adequate but not exciting.

A great place to stay. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A fab location and convenient for The Excel and 02. A good place to chill out yet close enough to the capital. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel.spacious airy rooms, friendly staff. Free wifi. Highly recommended if you have to be in the area. Some of our party were scheduled to be off loaded to another hotel due to over-booking (hey, it happens). The helpful accommodating manager changed this arrangement immediately with good humour when I explained the circumstances.

For the location, it’s a good Starwood property. I was on another assignment at the ExCel Convention Center and the hotel was in a prime location. The property is very clean and the staff are all amazing. The bar was off the hook!! The young bartender was the best I’ve seen thus far. He engages in conversation and well schooled... More
