The Spotlight on Aloft London Excel

Modern Docklands Vibes: Aloft London Excel

Modern, stylish, and buzzing with energy, Aloft London Excel sits right in the heart of East London's Docklands. With direct access to the ExCeL Exhibition Centre and easy connections to Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena, and central London, this hotel brings sleek design, spacious rooms, and a lively atmosphere to your concert weekend.
Each room boasts a 42-inch flat-screen TV, free WiFi, a signature comfy bed, and a large rain-style shower. Suites even offer a separate living area for extra space. Plus, it's pet-friendly, so your four-legged concert buddy is welcome too!

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Aloft London Excel delivers. Just a quick ride via the DLR or the Elizabeth Line gets you to the O2 Arena, London City Airport, and other key venues. Prince Regent DLR Station is practically at the doorstep—only 328 feet away! After the show, come back to a lively vibe but quieter rooms thanks to soundproofing. With check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at a relaxed 12:00 PM, you can sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends ready to hit multiple gigs
  • Solo travelers chasing their dream concerts
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who appreciate a peaceful night's sleep after dancing all night
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking for value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

Need a late-night snack? The 24-hour re:fuel by Aloft has you covered with sweet and savory treats. Craving more? The Docksider restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring seasonal dishes, and if you're feeling lazy, Docksider Delivers brings dinner straight to your room starting from 5:30 PM. Breakfast is available too—perfect for post-party recovery.

Nightlife Options

The hotel's WXYZ bar is a hotspot in itself, offering signature cocktails and live music performances three times a month. If you're looking to extend the night, East London's buzzing nightlife is a quick ride away, with bars, clubs, and lounges aplenty.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's modern, clean rooms, friendly staff, and easy transport links. The vibe is described as upbeat yet relaxed, and many say it's a great base for attending concerts at the O2 Arena or other nearby venues.

Areas for Improvement

While many praise the location, some mention it's a bit quiet if you're looking for non-stop action right outside the door. Also, being near the Excel Centre means it can get busy during major events.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, convenient, and comfortable stay with easy access to London's top concert venues, Aloft London Excel hits all the right notes.

A wonderful stay somewhat marred...

Liked: Very close to DLR station but could not hear any noise in the room. Excellent service from staff. They were friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable. Very spacious room, shower was fabulous and water pressure was great. Bed was big and extremely comfortable.
Disliked: The pool area was very warm probably because it wasn’t in a large space and the sauna and steam room were there too. But the water was just the right temperature. Not a large pool which was made even smaller when half was cordoned off for kiddy swimming lessons. Not the most relaxing experience and disappointing because the pool was the main reason for the booking at this hotel. A lot of guests actually got out of the pool and left.

Great would stay again.

Liked: Everything overall I liked about the property. Other than the electric tripping due to another guest so no blame to you guys. It happens. Absolutely wonderful.
Disliked: The only real issue was food. Scrambled eggs were on the watery side and the steaks were frozen prior to being cooked. We tried to have a conversation after to just make sure it was done medium well but the chef wasn’t having none of it. On the plus the waitress was amazing and did put us at ease for the rest of dinner and breakfast.

Liked: Stayed for one night while attending an event at the Excel centre. Ideal location, great views, very comfortable.
