PRINCE REGENT HOTEL EXCEL LONDON, London

The hotel is ideally situated for the ExCeL Exhibition Centre (east entrance), less than ten minutes on foot. London City Airport is a short drive away, with the DLR providing a direct link to central London in around 20 minutes. The O2 Arena can be reached by Uber for approximately £12 or by a short DLR and Jubilee line journey. Canary Wharf is a 10-minute drive, and Newham Hospital is a 10-15 minute walk. While the area is residential with limited evening entertainment, a grocery shop and bus stops are immediately outside, with a kebab takeaway and fish and chip shop nearby.

Rooms range from single to family and triple configurations, all with private bathrooms featuring power or rainfall showers. Standard and superior double rooms are available, with only the Superior Double rooms offering a private balcony. Each room includes a flat-screen satellite TV, hairdryer, and tea/coffee making facilities. Soundproofing is present but may be less effective; rooms in the main building or on higher floors tend to be quieter. Some rooms feel small and are best suited for short stays. The annex building, a 30-second walk from the main hotel, has similar facilities but no lift. For guests who prefer more space, the family or superior rooms are recommended.

Breakfast can be booked for a fee of £10 per person and includes a cooked English option with cereals, fruits, and hot drinks. The buffet-style service is served in a small dining area within the lobby, which gets busy during peak times. There is no restaurant or bar in the hotel, but several takeaways and a grocery shop are a short walk away, including a fish and chip shop across the road and a kebab shop next door. For more varied dining, restaurants such as Charcoal Restaurant and La Barrique Wine Bar are within about a kilometre.

The hotel does not have a spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. For leisure, the ExCeL hosts major exhibitions and conventions, and the O2 Arena is easily accessible for concerts and events. The DLR and bus routes provide straightforward connections to central London sights such as the Tower of London, Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, and the Natural History Museum.

Services include a 24-hour reception with a cash machine on site, free Wi-Fi throughout, and free secure parking at the back of the property (subject to availability; if full, the hotel provides a free permit for nearby street parking). Luggage storage is available free of charge. A shared kitchen and a guest PC with printer are accessible. Daily housekeeping is provided.
