First Impressions
You know what struck me first about Newly Refurbished 2BD Flat Close to ExCel London? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to its name — and honestly, that’s rarer than you’d think. The “newly refurbished” part isn’t just marketing speak; when I walked in, everything felt crisp and modern without that sterile hotel vibe. It’s got this apartment feel that makes you forget you’re staying somewhere temporary.
The Space Itself
The two-bedroom setup works brilliantly, especially if you’re traveling with family or friends who actually want some space from each other. Each room has proper breathing room, and the living area doesn’t feel like an afterthought. What I really appreciated was the kitchen — it’s not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. You can actually cook a proper meal if you want to, which is pretty refreshing when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two.
Location Perks
Being close to ExCel London is obviously the main draw here, but what surprised me was how well-connected this part of London actually is. The DLR gets you into central London faster than you’d expect, and there’s decent parking if you’re driving — which, let’s be honest, is almost impossible to find in most of London. The neighborhood isn’t the prettiest part of the city, I’ll give you that, but it’s got everything you need within walking distance.
Practical Details
This place doesn’t have an official star rating, but honestly, it doesn’t need one. It knows what it is — a well-designed, comfortable base that gets the job done without any pretense. The Wi-Fi actually works properly (you’d be amazed how many places mess this up), and the heating responds when you adjust it. Small things, but they matter when you’re trying to get work done or just relax after a long day at the exhibition center.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps people coming back is the combination of space and practicality. You’re not paying for fancy amenities you won’t use — instead, you get a proper living situation that feels more like borrowing a friend’s flat than staying in typical hotel accommodation. It’s particularly great for longer stays or when you’re in town for business at ExCel but don’t want to feel completely cut off from the rest of London. The refurbishment really shows in the details, and while it might not have the charm of a boutique hotel in Covent Garden, it delivers exactly what it promises.
To book hotel in London for fashion week buzz, travelers reserve early to pair Westminster sunrise walks with evening pub rituals.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
