Dockside Apartments at Excel

Stay was very nice, staff were friendly! Overall i recommend others to stay at this apartment.

Had a short stay but nevertheless was welcomed by the staff and felt cared for. Tahmim was a great help! Hoping to stay another time!

Overall the room was nice and clean however the receptionist informed me that my room is 706, she even wrote it down on the card, as the lifts wasn’t working I had to climb all them steps even though i had a back knee. Once I was on the 7th floor, the key card was not working, so I had to go down those steps again to the receptionist and found out that the room was actually 703 instead. This was quite frustrating as the lifts wasn’t working and I had to climb all them steps, knowing I had a really bad knee.

Negatives: 1) The heating failed the second night we were there. While we were provided with heaters after we asked, the staff were not pro active, and the heating system had still not been fixed 5 days later when we left. 2) The shower head started leaking and completely soaked the bathroom. The problem was reported, but still not fixed by the time we left. 3) The kitchen is described as 'well equipped'. It is not. There was no knife, and only one tiny pot to cook with. 4) The second blanket in the room was dirty, and had a large lipstick stain on it, which was very unhygienic. Positives: 1) Good location, close to DLR station.

These apartments are either very recently refurbished or virtually brand-new as everything within a apartment and the decor was pristine A couple of things left the whole experience down one was the check in the security chap said initially they had no record of us on his list and we were made to sit in a separate waiting room waiting to check-in this required me to re-check my booking to see if I had made a mistake where in fact I had not mistake was on behalf of the apartments not mine. When we were shown through to the very small reception desk the lady behind did not even look up to say good afternoon prompting me to announce our presents by saying good afternoon. Eventually we did check in and the next problem was one of the tulips was out of service which led to quite a long delay getting to our room which was on the top floor and when we checked out likewise. However the apartment was lovely ideally situated for the DL are trains and London city airport. If these two issues can be addressed the whole experience would’ve been five stars.

One of the best properties I’ve been to, great staff great everything definitely planning to go again.

Apartment was very nice...the only issue we had was the heat/thermostat. The room was very hot and we could not regulate without turning completely off.

Upon arrival to the apartments our first interaction was very rude. We arrived before the offical check in time however the security guard rudely said as we tried to enter “Check in time is at 2pm”. Reception staff did allow to check in early as the rooms were ready however this left a lasting impression. While the rooms are quite well appointed, our apartment had a bad smell coming from the drains the entire stay, I mentioned it on numerous occasions but nothing was every rectified, no maintenance staff checked and no manager was every seen to check. The staff were a mix of very nice and somewhat rude. I would not stay here again.

The apartment was very nice and comfortable. I will recomend it to my friends.

Amazing stay over the weekend for London Comic Con. was in a decent area, close by to Excel, the accommodation was clean, tidy and had all your adequate needs for staying over, including kitchen utilities to make your own food, if not can access train nearby to get into London city centre. Staff was friendly and helpful and had a nice relaxing stay. Would recommend it to anyone if wanting a place to stay while in London.
