Jules
Fabulous hotel for our one night stay in London! We were heading to the O2 to see Lewis Capaldi and the DLR station was literally a 5 minute walk away from floor 2 of Aloft London. So very easy to find. Fabulous room, we had a family room, two double beds for 4 girls. Breakfast the next day was delicious and so much to choose from. The lady on the desk, I think her name was Lily? She was absolutel...

Nice clean and modern hotel next to the Excel centre with good access to central London. The hotel has a small pool/sauna which is ideal for a quick splash with the kids but equally suited to a romantic break for couples. Staff are courteous and helpful. Breakfast was good although do take note that the fried/poached eggs are not pre-cooked and have to be ordered separately. Kids will love the ...

The room I had 708 had a blocked sink so I was moved to 831. I saw a mouse at the restaurant a...

Breakfast was standard, nothing exciting but good food and healthy choices available. Quiet rooms with ni...

We had a lovely 2 night stay at this location. Very clean , super comfortable bed and great staff. Abigail was awesome at check-in. So many spaces to sit, chill and sip something refreshing. The tube was close by and the waterfront was as well. We found some great food spots within 1/2 mile. Would definitely again! ❤️
