Hotels near London City Airport, London

Stayed here 5 separate occasions in last 8 months or so. It’s a good hotel that conforms to Courtyard brand standards. The rooms are clean. I really like the restaurant here; the food is very high quality and the asian menu is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and try really hard.Please can we get cornflakes at breakfast; especially as we have other less obvious choices?! I will keep using this hotel for when I need it.

Decent location only 25 mins to centre of London by tube, only used hotel as a base, ate out every night, polite staff, didn't use WiFi as was a £7 charge per day. Room was reasonably large, a little bit drafty at times, but sleep was comfortable. The odd noisy neighbour but you get them anywhere, overall ok, would stay again for the cost for 3 nights was quite reasonable.

Handy location for Excel - which is about 10 mins walk away Car park on site - not massive but good number of spaces - the parking payment is per 24 hrs. Make sure you enter the correct car reg etc at reception Good friendly welcome at the desk and a good room in the hotel. No noise from outside but a bit of noise from inside with noisey guests talking in the corridor a few times on saturday night. Only got the room key card to work in 1 of the 2 lifts and gave up in the end and used the stairs - its not clear why you would secure the lifts with key cards but not the stair well ? Good room - air con and a nice big bed and shower. Not much round and about for eating on a saturday night so had a pizza at the hotel bar - it was quite big ordered a 4 cheese pizza but was more like a cheese and tomato - pretty plain and ordinary - not brilliant value for money. Overall I would definately use this hotel again.

We stayed at Ibis Budget Barking on one of the hottest nights of the year. The air-conditioning worked brilliantly, so we had a much better night than friends who stayed at a much more expensive hotel in central London! We were attending an event at The University of East London SportsDock. It was very easy to get to - just a short walk to the bus stop by Tesco, a 19-minute bus journey which took us very close to the venue - so Ibis Budget Barking is ideal for anyone wanting to go to something in East London. The front of house staff were very courteous and helpful. I have rated this 4 rather than 5 as a kettle ought to be a standard offering in all rooms (in Ibis Budget Portsmouth we had a kettle). But, all in all, an excellent budget location.

I arrived this evening at 8pm after a long journey only to find the company travel agent had not actually booked a room. The hotel was very busy and reception could easily have told me it was my fault for not checking (which it was!) and left me to hunt or a room elsewhere. Fortunately Axel D was on the front desk and bent over backwards to help. He made a call and came back a few minutes later to tell me he had sorted a room for me, honouring the rate from the company travel agency. Huge thanks to Axel and his professional, courteous behaviour. He is an asset to the group.

Lovely overnight getaway. Fantastic room - Executive Lounge Room 614 - with a great view of Crossrail. Only downside on that was that you heard the DLR starting at about 7am on the Sunday morning. The receptionist, Sandra, was really friendly and helpful and staffing the bar in the evening were likewise very good. The executive lounge on the 7th floor had a good selection of soft drinks, but we weren’t around to try the hot appetisers or free wine & beer in the evening as we already had dinner plans in the West End. Transportation wise, it’s a 2 min walk to the DLR, less then 5 to the new Elizabeth Line and only a few more to the Jubilee Line - perfectly positioned! Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from as well. Breakfast was fantastic, particularly loved the donut wall! Quite a novelty! The cooked breakfast was delicious, with omelettes made to order - more food than you could handle! Will definitely look to stay again in the future.

Lovely basic hotel with excellent transport links. We had a lovely hot breakfast every day during our long summer stay. Staff were clean and polite. The fitness room is clean and quiet. Sheets were properly installed with every housekeeping visit. This is a lovely place to stay when visiting London.

As usual, by Hilton chain always maintain their valuable standard items. The room is with good size reading arm chair, nice wooden edge desk and comfortable chair. Right beside the hotel, you can have a nice long walk along the famous river, the Thames.

I stay around the Excel several times a year for events with friends or alone. I've stayed at other hotels nearby like the Crowne Plaza, Novotel, Ibis etc. but this was my first time staying at Aloft. The room is adequately sized and was quite clean. The bed linen was clean, and the carpets seemed clean as well. There were a couple of small issues with cleanliness but nothing overly off-putting. The shower needs to be re-grouted and walls need to be repainted/new wallpaper applied in some areas that had a lot of marks. The layout of the room is a little weird. The wardrobe and tea and coffee tray are at the side where the bathroom is. There's no mirror in the bedroom area, so if you want to do your hair you have to plug into the section where the kettle tray is placed and stretch the wire across. It's not a big deal, but a little inconvenient. The fixtures in the room were decent and the bed was comfy. The location is next to Prince Regent DLR, so easy to get to and from the train. The room would benefit from some sort of information booklet about the facilities at the hotel. There wasn't any information given about what was available at the hotel or any opening times of the facilities, where they were located or what you needed to do to access them. It's a hassle for guests to have to ask the front desk about this, so the information should be readily available in the room. When I checked in there was a leak in the room that I was given. I'd just come from a 15 hour journey and wanted to take a shower and relax, so this was not ideal. I told reception and they said they would send someone to take a look to see if it could be fixed. I didn't exactly see why I should sit and wait because there was a leak in the room and believe that they should have moved me immediately. They sent someone up and they took a quick look and determined it would take too long to fix and would move me to a different room. I was moved to the room next door and for the following 45 minutes all I could hear was the door slamming in the other room, I assume from them coming in and out to try and fix the issue there. It took around 30 minutes of me being in this room for me to be moved, which was really not ideal. I was offered a short apology, but no compensation for the inconvenience. The main issue I had with this hotel was the noise from other rooms and guests. On the same night that I checked in, the guests in the room next to me appeared to be having some sort of party until after 5am. They were playing music, shouting, banging things on the wall and constantly walking in and out of the room causing the door to slam loudly each time. I understand this is not particularly the fault of the hotel, at this point I was too exhausted from my trip to reach out to the hotel with another complaint. I was happy that on the 2nd night, these guests must have checked out. However, the noise from other guests was still a bit of an issue, although no one was particularly try

When you book a room in this location, you are probably aware that the location is a long way from London City. You should also know that London City Airport is the closest neighbour. This means plains leaving at 7 in the morning. If this is okay, Moxy Excel is a great choice. You can not adjust the AC in your room individually, but the temp was acceptable. The advantage with this hotel is the open area on the ground floor. It is not crowded, but it you don't want to sit alone in your room, you can see other humans in this area. Hungry? Do not eat food at the hotel, It is just a joke. Find some take away or bring something.
