I found the location quite convenient, especially its proximity to city airport. It was only a short walk. Public transport links are easily accessible. The DLR and Elizabeth line are nearby (this made getting around simple). The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
The room was not thoroughly cleaned. The shower and toilet needed more attention. I did not find hot water available (this was a bit of an issue).

Practical and Convenient Stay

convenient locationexcellent staffgreat facilities
I found the location very convenient for the ICC ExCeL. The walk was short. Customer service was excellent with both the hotel and restaurant staff. The room was also excellent, clean, and well decorated. There were plenty of plugs and great facilities such as an iron, board, hairdryer, kettle, coffee, bottle of water and biscuits.
I felt the bathroom could have been cleaner, and the strip between the toilet and shower needed some attention.
