The room was very clean, but the staff was amazing especially the restaurant staff they were so attentive and helpful even brought my children’s pancakes to the table for breakfast
it's one of the best hotels that we stayed in, and the customer service is amazing, the restaurant crew at the second floor, they have the best customer service skills, specially two induvial which we informed that manager how great they are.
Staff was really nice to me and my family . I would definitely recommend Aloft to friends and family . The rooms were okay and clean . I enjoyed using the swimming pool and sauna . All in all my experience was great ! I would definitely come again
Staff were amazing, always willing to ensure you enjoyed your stay. Breakfast was good! Room was cozy, I hardly wanted to step out 😁. Enjoyed the bar as well, particularly loved it’s ambiance.
First time saying at this hotel. It was very clean, quiet and had quick access to the Elizabeth Line. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived before our room was ready, but the front desk staff was kind enough to take our luggage and provided recommendations on where to get something to eat close by. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well maintained. While the pool was on the smaller side, we were thankful that there was a pool to enjoy during the heatwave. I would stay here again with no issues!
Excellent room size, super amenities, good breakfast and a short walk to Prince Regent DLR stop with speedy onwards connections at Custom House or Canning Town.
Great hotel featured a pool sauna ans steam room and gym sadly unable to use as didn't get time.
Breakfast was great and the freshly made pancakes made the kids soo happy.
The only thing is the room was dusty and not sure about the fridge if it was working.
After checking out, we was given free donuts which the kid's loved.!
Fantastic staff - every person we met from Reception to maintenance were so helpful and professional. Great facilities and the perfect location for Excel.

Very good, stayed here before few times as convenient for what I need it for. Friendly staff, rooms good size and good facilities.
I loved the way the spaces in the room was managed. Furniture and general room layout was great. I really liked the black out window blinds. Helped with sleeping into the morning without worrying about sun rays waking me up at 5am. Loved it.

Beautiful hotel, lovely beds, spotlessly clean, great staff
I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were very helpful and friendly throughout my visit. Parking was available, which made everything much more convenient. I also had a great time at the pool and truly enjoyed the day overall. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and I would be happy to stay here again.
Staff were very friendly, room was very comfortable and clean, pool was warm (ok for a dip but a bit busy, and not big enough for a good swim), and breakfast was good with everything being replenished constantly.
Lovely short stay.
Directions when we got of the DLR were not great, we followed some other people to find the 2nd floor entrance.
