Hotel Details

Location

A 3-minute walk from the ExCeL and within a minute of the Emirates Air Line cable car, with direct DLR and Elizabeth line connections.
The property sits on the Royal Docks waterfront, just steps from the ExCeL London conference centre. Custom House (Elizabeth line) and Royal Victoria DLR stations are both a 5-minute walk, providing quick links to Canary Wharf (15 minutes) and central London (30 minutes). The Emirates Air Line cable car, a 1-minute walk, crosses the Thames to the O2 Arena in 10 minutes. London City Airport is 4 km away (a 10-minute taxi or train journey). Multiple restaurants, cafes, and a grocery store are within a 3-minute walk. The area offers water sports on the dock.

Accommodation

Two room types: a spacious King room with en-suite shower, and a smaller Double room with a private bathroom across the hallway.
The King room is larger and features floor-to-ceiling windows with lake views, an en-suite shower, air conditioning, a microwave, mini fridge, electric kettle, TV, and wardrobe. The Double room is more compact, with a private bathroom (with bathtub) located in the hallway, a kettle, air conditioning, TV, and wardrobe. Both rooms have a private entrance, heating, and free toiletries. Ironing facilities and a hairdryer are provided. The unit is part of a block of flats; booking one room means sharing the hallway with another guest. The building has a lift, but no step-free access to the entrance.

Dining

No on-site dining, but a variety of restaurants, cafes, and a grocery store are within a 3-minute walk.
The property does not offer breakfast, a restaurant, or a bar. For meals, the immediate area boasts several dining options within 0.5 km, including Docklands Bar & Grill, The Upper Deck Restaurant & Bar, and lands End Restaurant, plus a Costa Coffee. A grocery store is also nearby, and many cafes along the waterfront provide breakfast and light bites.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose the King room for an en-suite shower and more space, especially if sharing the hallway with another occupant is a concern.

  • 02

    Confirm the key collection location and check-in instructions in advance, as the process may involve a short walk from the building.

  • 03

    Use the Emirates Air Line cable car (1-minute walk) or the tube for quick access to the O2 Arena.

  • 04

    Book both rooms if you prefer exclusive use of the entire unit, as single bookings share the hallway and door.
