Overview
First Impressions
The EXCEL LONDON MAJESTIC APARTMENT sits right in the heart of Newham’s business district, and honestly, the location surprised me in the best way. You’re literally steps from the ExCeL exhibition center — which sounds corporate and boring, but actually means you’re perfectly positioned for both work and exploring East London. The building itself has that sleek, modern glass facade that catches the light beautifully, especially in the late afternoon.
The Space That Wow
Walking into this five-star apartment, I immediately understood why it scores so highly with guests. The space is genuinely expansive — not just hotel marketing speak — with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood everything with natural light. The living area flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen that’s actually functional, not just decorative. I mean, you could seriously cook a proper meal here, which is rare in London accommodations.
Location Perks You’ll Actually Use
Here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you about staying in Newham: the Docklands Light Railway connection is absolutely brilliant. You’re at Canary Wharf in under ten minutes, and central London feels surprisingly accessible. The area around Western Gateway has transformed completely in recent years — there’s a Tesco just around the corner, and the waterfront walks along Royal Victoria Dock are genuinely lovely when you need to clear your head.
Luxury Details That Matter
The attention to detail in this place really shows. Each room features premium furnishings that feel substantial rather than flashy — think quality linens, proper blackout curtains, and a bathroom that’s spacious enough to actually move around in. The kitchen comes stocked with everything you’d need, from a proper coffee machine to quality cookware. There’s even dedicated parking available, which in London is practically worth its weight in gold.
Why Guests Love It
What strikes me most about EXCEL LONDON MAJESTIC APARTMENT is how it manages to feel both luxurious and liveable. You’re not tiptoeing around worried about touching anything — this is a space designed for actual comfort. The combination of that prime location near the exhibition center, the genuine apartment feel rather than cramped hotel vibes, and the surprisingly peaceful atmosphere despite being in such a connected area makes perfect sense. Whether you’re here for business at ExCeL or just want a different perspective on London, this place delivers without the typical city apartment compromises.

The location for the excel centre was fantastic! Lovely views from the balcony. Easy access to the DLR, shops and restaurants. Clean and modern
What could be improved: The property could use another sofa, the beds were a bit too soft.

"We all really enjoyed the stay and would definitely use again ."
Brilliant location for the O2 and the Excel . Meant we could all stay together as opposed to having 3 separate hotel rooms . Lovely spacious living area and fully equipped kitchen and all very clean .
The views from the apartment are amazing.
What could be improved: Nothing we didn’t really like but it would benefit from a couple of extra comfy chairs in the lounge area . Also a minor point that the blinds need replacing and there were 6 of us but only 5 mugs 😂.

"Absolutely wonderful stay"
It was spacious for my family of 8 and modern facilities with everything we needed including l all pots and pans, clean and comfortable beds. Gorgeous views and easy access to all the local shops and restaurants.
The host Micheal was a great host and accommodating, especially since I booked last minute. Allowed us a later checkout too and happy to just make our stay pleasant. I loved the location as it was close to Excel where we attended a weekend event, it’s a nice 5 minute walk.
What could be improved: Nothing not to like

"As two families we totally enjoyed the views and location, the apartment could benefit from another easy chair as 6 of u"
Beautiful view and spacious property, great that there was a un-suite and a bathroom and we all loved the machine that made kitkat hot chocolate! Great big dining table with lots of chairs.
What could be improved: Nothing we didn’t like, the only slight hic-up was the showers as it was either too hot or too cold and couldn’t quite get a happy medium.
