Okay but attention to detail missing
Nice hotel, let down by some details. Charging £20 for parking is a bit much and a further £25 “which will be returned in a few days” wasn’t a great start. I get taking card details, but shouldn’t be taking money… Room was spacious and clean, but no power point by a mirror for my wife to do her hair. I went for a swim, and the first changing booth didn’t have a lock on it. Went to do a timed swim so checked the clock when I set off. Swam some lengths and checked the clock which hadn’t moved - clearly the battery had run out and not been replaced. The little things make the difference between average and good…

I love the Aloft Hotel London transportation to Heathrow Airport and other places, it was very convenient but the only thing l didn't really like was their gym. The gym is not spacious and they don’t have enough equipments in there that’s all.

First time staying at this hotel. We had a spacious room (although it was the disabled room), it was clean and the bed was really comfortable. Food in the bar was also really good.

O2 Visit
We were visiting the O2, even though this hotel is next to The Excel it is also a great location for the O2. Easy access to the Cable Car across the Thames (2 stops on the DLR) or a couple of stops on the tube/DLR.

Convenient for Excel
Decent sized room. Quiet location. Friendly staff. Very convenient to Excel and the DLR. Pillows on the bed were flat and very uncomfortable. Weird lighting in room. Could not find a switch to turn the lighting off over the coffee making station in room which was annoying when we went to sleep. Really appreciated the gym, pool and sauna facilities. Two days there were mum and baby classes going on in pool - which was a bit of a squeeze, but they were friendly enough. Just something to be aware of if you're planning a day time swim.
