Deluxe studio Apartments – City Airport & Excel Ideal for Long stay
First Impressions
Deluxe studio Apartments – City Airport & Excel Ideal for Long stay is honestly one of those places that grows on you. When I first pulled up to Parker Street in Newham, I wasn’t expecting much — but you know what, this four-star property really surprised me. The building itself is modern and clean, and there’s something refreshing about having your own space rather than being crammed into a traditional hotel room.
Location That Actually Works
Here’s the thing about staying in Newham — you’re not in central London, but that’s actually the point. The Excel Centre is literally a short walk away, which is perfect if you’re here for an event or exhibition. City Airport? I mean, you can practically hear the planes, but in a weirdly comforting way that reminds you how close you are to everything. The DLR connections from here are brilliant, and you’ll find yourself in Canary Wharf or central London faster than you’d expect.
The Studio Setup
Each apartment is essentially a well-thought-out studio with everything you need for extended stays. The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s got proper appliances — not those tiny hotel fridges that barely fit a sandwich. I actually cooked a few meals here, and the layout makes sense. The sleeping area feels separate enough from the living space that you don’t feel like you’re camping out in your own place.
Practical Comforts
What I really appreciated was the attention to detail for longer stays. There’s decent storage space, a proper desk if you need to work, and the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the unit. The bathroom is compact but functional, and honestly, having your own washing machine makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a few days. Parking is available too, which around here isn’t something you can take for granted.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to win any design awards, but it absolutely nails what business travelers and extended-stay guests actually need. The 8.5 rating makes total sense — people come here for Excel events, airport proximity, or longer London stays, and it delivers on all those fronts without the premium prices you’d pay closer to the city center. The staff keeps things running smoothly, and there’s something genuinely relaxing about having your own space after a long day of meetings or sightseeing.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
