Our take
ibis London Excel Docklands is a sensible budget base: modern smoke-free rooms, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a bar and laundry, a short walk from Custom House with public transport to London City Airport. It welcomes pets. There is no pool or spa. I would choose it for a cost-conscious night before a City Airport flight or an event at ExCeL.
- Allow ample time for public transport to London City Airport, as it takes nearly an hour
- Utilise the on-site restaurant and bar for convenience, especially after a late arrival
- If travelling with a pet, confirm the pet-friendly policy and any associated fees directly with the hotel
Why we love it
- Complimentary Wi-Fi in all rooms
- On-site restaurant and bar
- Pet-friendly accommodation
- Full-service laundry available
Why guests love itibis London Excel Docklands is a casual budget 3-star that describes itself as suitable for families and pet owners, and the basics are in place: modern smoke-free rooms, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and a bar, so dinner needs no extra trip. Full-service laundry helps on a longer stay. Custom House is a short walk away, with public transport from there to London City Airport. It holds an 8.2 rating from more than 3,200 reviews. Expect simple comfort, not leisure facilities.
