FOX CONNAUGHT LONDON EXCEL, London

The hotel is situated in a Grade II listed Victorian building on the Royal Docks, making it one of the closest accommodations to ExCeL London. Prince Regent DLR station is an 8-minute walk away, providing direct routes into Canary Wharf and central London, while Custom House station (Elizabeth line and DLR) is 1 km away. London City Airport is reachable on foot in 15-20 minutes or a 5-minute taxi ride - ideal for early flights or late arrivals. The O2 arena is a 15-minute taxi or 20-minute tube journey away. Free on-site parking is a practical advantage for drivers, and a side entrance allows direct access to rooms without passing through the pub.

Room types include standard double, larger double, and a family room (with one bed). All accommodations feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV with cable channels, tea and coffee making facilities, a wardrobe, safe deposit box, and a private bathroom with shower. Some rooms include a terrace. The property occupies the upper floors of a historic building without a lift, so all rooms are accessible only by stairs - those on higher floors involve a considerable number of steps. Rooms above the pub can experience bass noise from live events until closing time, while rooms near the side entrance may hear late-night door activity. The condition of rooms varies: some are described as spacious and clean with comfortable beds, while others show signs of wear with dated decor, stained carpets, and mould in bathrooms. A small number of rooms have reported issues with non-functioning air conditioning/heating and intermittent hot water supply.

The Fox Connaught pub offers a traditional British menu for lunch and dinner, with family-friendly ambiance and outdoor seating on a large grassed patio. The menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Overnight guests receive a 20% discount on all food and drinks. A continental breakfast is available for 9 GBP per person, served from the pub area. The bar stocks a range of beers including cask ales, and wine/champagne is available at an additional charge. The pub is popular with local workers and event attendees, and can be busy during major ExCeL shows. For those who prefer to eat out, several restaurants including a fish bar, a Chinese restaurant, and a pub are within a 5-10 minute walk.

There is no wellness centre, swimming pool, or gym on site. The main leisure facility is the property's large grassed patio and garden, which has outdoor furniture, a picnic area, and is a pleasant spot for al fresco drinks or relaxation in good weather. The pub downstairs shows live sports on multiple screens, and the surrounding area offers easy access to the Thames riverside path, Emirates cable car, and the O2 arena for entertainment.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. The hotel provides free on-site private parking (no reservation needed) - guests simply register their vehicle number plate at check-in.
