First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Three Bed near London excel on Felixstowe Road, I’ll be honest — it’s not going to blow you away from the outside. This three-star property sits in a residential stretch of Abbey Wood, and you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. It feels more like staying at a friend’s place than being stuck in some sterile hotel corridor.
Location & Getting Around
Abbey Wood might not be the first neighborhood that comes to mind when you think London, but hear me out. The area’s got this quiet, almost suburban vibe that’s honestly refreshing after dealing with the chaos of central London. You’re about a 20-minute train ride from the city center, and the Elizabeth Line has made getting around so much easier than it used to be. Plus, if you’re heading to ExCeL London for an event or exhibition, you’re practically on the doorstep — I mean, the hotel name gives it away.
The Space
The three-bedroom setup here really works if you’re traveling with family or a group of friends. Each room has enough space to actually unpack your stuff (something I always appreciate), and the shared common areas don’t feel cramped. The kitchen is probably the real winner — it’s got everything you need to throw together breakfast or heat up takeaway from one of the local spots. There’s something nice about having your own space to spread out, especially if you’re staying more than just a night or two.
Practical Perks
Look, this isn’t a fancy place with a concierge, but it covers the basics really well. There’s parking available, which honestly can be a lifesaver in London — I’ve learned that the hard way. The Wi-Fi actually works (you’d be surprised how often that’s not a given), and the whole place feels clean and well-maintained. The hosts are pretty responsive too, which matters when you’re trying to figure out local transport or need an extra towel.
Why Guests Love It
What really makes this place work is the value proposition. You’re getting way more space than you’d find in a traditional London hotel room for the price, and that kitchen means you’re not stuck eating out for every single meal. The 7.6 rating makes sense — it’s not perfect, but it delivers on what it promises. If you’re the type who prefers a quiet base where you can actually relax between sightseeing or business meetings, this hits the spot. Just don’t expect room service or a fancy lobby — that’s not what you’re paying for here.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
