Overall
7.9(4124)3/10 Glad I only stayed one night, quite disappointed with the whole experience overall.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. They offered a complimentary upgrade to a room with a water view which I appreciated. They gave us some cookies on arrival which were delicious. The hotel seemed pretty clean.

10/10 Friendly staff, warm cookies and spacious room/suite!
Me and my boyfriend often stay at this Hilton, we absolutely love it! Staff are always so friendly, special thanks to Din and Sabrina! Not forgetting the free warm cookies on arrival!
We actually ended up staying two nights, one night in a junior suite which was incredible and another night in a master suite which was more incredible! Very spacious and bright, love the interior. Includes a separate lounge area with a large tv in both lounge and bedroom and ceiling to floor windows. Suites include a coffee machine, kettle, tea, coffee, milk, bath robes and slippers.
Now although the suites are amazing and I’d love to stay there all the time, the standard rooms are also spacious enough for short stays we often stay in those too! Highly recommend place to stay! And we have stayed in many luxury hotels, this is a great stay at a reasonable price. Please note prices always vary depending if there are events happening at excel and around the area.

9/10 Fabulous room and location .
A wonderful room and lovely reception staff who went the extra mile! Put rose petals and cupcakes in the room for our special occasion. But the next morning we decided to go and pay for breakfast at around 930 . The lady on the breakfast reception in the dining room was so rude . She was rude to the people in front and said to us room number and do you want to pay . I got out my card and she said we are full you will have to wait . I asked how long she shrugged her shoulders and said I quote Dunno!! So we left . This lady should not be working in customer service as it was our lasting memorie of what was a wonderful stay. If you could pass this on to the breakfast Sunday morning staff.

6/10 Good stay, could be improved.
Staff were attentive at breakfast and quick to clear dirty plates away.
Considering this is on the main flight path to London Central Airport, as well as the DLR line, the establishment did a great job at soundproofing the building.

9/10 Amazing and worth the experience
It was an amazing stay though just for a day. I mentioned prior to my arrival that it was for our wedding anniversary and they surprised us with a beautiful decor and some treats which made our day. I was pleased with the space in the room, the design, comfort and the cleanliness. Really great place to stay for quiet and nice getaway❤️

The staff were very polite and the rooms were very well maintained. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The view of the Victoria docks and the London City airport was really unforgettable. Even though it seems to be far, the hotel is well-connected with tubes.

10/10 The Best Hotel in London ExCeL Area!!!
Doubletree By Hilton in Excel is one of my Favourite hotel. Hotels staffs are really helpful. Rooms are newly refurbished and hotels location is fantastic. Staffs from the reception and bar are genuinely welcoming. Enjoyed their breakfast as usual. Nayeem and Din Muhammad from reception and Munalisa from BAR are absolutely outstanding at their services. Wishing them all the best for their hospitality

2/10 Not VFM, not at all likely to stay there again.
Front desk staff were very polite and very helpful.
Convenient location for where I wanted to get to.

8/10 Nice hotel, perfect location
Location was amazing - train station was a 5 minute walk to get you into central London whilst being out of the busy rush. Right next to the airport too so if you’re a plane geek like myself you will love it! Parking was cheap compared to other hotels we checked out too

5/10 Very disappointing
I was extremely disappointed as booked an upgraded room with view for my partners birthday on Saturday. When we checked in we were on the 1st floor with a restricted view due to the hotel shape. It totally dampened his birthday experience along with being on the first floor we opened the window and was directly above the smokers area. Very bad experience.

1/10 Wouldn't stay again
Waiting for feedback from an email sent to the general manger. Windows don't open, air con didn't work, had to jam open with our shoes to get ventilation in the room as it was a hot day! Bedside lamps don't provide bedside lighting, they switch on the main room light meaning both people have to go sleep at the same time. Not good at all

8/10 Great stay, as expected for Double Tree
Had a really lovely solo stay. I was chosen as ‘guest of the day’ on arrival which included lots of lovely perks. But even outside of that, the staff and service were great.
Breakfast buffet had a decent variety and was very, very affordable.
And of course, the infamous cookie was the icing on the cake.

10/10 Happy guest
I had a fantastic checkin experience from Din . In my opinion front desk is extremely important, as they are the face of the brand. Navid and the team are very pleasant people . As a diamond member I have been using this hotel for the past 6 years because of the reception I get from this two gentlemen. Well done to Navid and Din

8/10 Very good
The room has a big space compared to other hotels in London. I stay here because there is a concert in the O2. It’s easy to go there. Just walk to the bus station near it.

10/10 Fabulous Customer Service
Incredible ambassadorship from Din and all the team who looked after us. What started as a potential frustration over misbooking turned into an incredibly welcoming experience. Great representation of brand and customer service. Thank you - Sarah
