Our take
Novotel London Excel earns its high rating with practical touches: free breakfast and Wi-Fi, parking, a restaurant with Docklands views, a bar, a fitness center and laundry, in an accessible, pet-friendly building eight minutes' walk from Custom House. Rooms are plain rather than stylish. I would choose it for an event at ExCeL or a family night near London City Airport.
- Allow ample time for public transport to London City Airport, as it takes nearly an hour
- Take advantage of the free breakfast, especially if you have an early start
- Walk to Custom House for DLR connections to explore the area or reach Excel
Why we love it
