Overview

First Impressions

Two Bedroom Apartment – London ExCeL Stays sits right in the heart of the Docklands, and honestly, it’s one of those places that grows on you. The building feels modern without being sterile — you know what I mean? When I first walked up to the Western Gateway address, I was struck by how quiet this corner of London actually is, especially considering you’re literally a stone’s throw from one of Europe’s busiest exhibition centers.

Location & Smart Positioning

Here’s the thing about staying near ExCeL — most people think it’s just for business travelers, but they’re missing the bigger picture. You’ve got the DLR right there, which means you can be in Canary Wharf in about ten minutes or central London in half an hour. The Royal Victoria DLR station is practically next door, and I mean that literally. Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about having all that parking space available when most London accommodations treat cars like unwelcome guests.

The Apartment Setup

This four-star setup really delivers on space — something you don’t often get in London without paying through the nose. The apartment layout feels thoughtful, with two proper bedrooms that don’t feel cramped. What I appreciated most was the kitchen situation; it’s actually functional, not just a glorified tea station. You can genuinely cook here if you want to save some money or just fancy a quiet evening in after a long day of meetings or sightseeing.

The Practical Stuff

The room quality is solid — clean lines, decent furniture, and everything works as it should. I’ve stayed in enough London accommodations to know that’s not always a given, especially at this price point. The WiFi actually handles video calls without drama, which is crucial if you’re here on business. The whole place has this sort of corporate-meets-residential vibe that somehow works better than it sounds on paper.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the most Instagram-worthy stay of your life, but it’s exactly what it promises to be. You get proper space, a location that connects you to everywhere you need to go, and rates that won’t make you question your life choices. The 7.7 rating makes sense — it’s the kind of place that does its job well without any unnecessary fuss. For families needing room to spread out or business travelers who want a base that’s actually livable, it hits the mark perfectly.

London’s apartments welcome long stays with terrace views, museum access, and bike routes to hidden mews streets.

"Superb"
Lovely view from the balcony Transportation was easy...DLR station was behind the building, the IFS cable car (to O2) was at the front of the building. A Tesco express was right downstairs.
What could be improved: It was summer, and there was no air-conditioning. The apartment was stifling hot. We had to open the doors to get some cool air. The bathroom extractor fan was not very effective

"Spacious aparment with outstanding view in great location"
Great location - close to the center, but quiet and cheaper. Italian and lebanese restaurants nearby we enjoyed very much. Tesco just next to the entrance; public transport nearby as well. View from the apartment on 14th floor was amazing, beds narrower but still comfortable. A lot of space for the whole family when compared to hotels. Kids enjoyed available streaming services. Working blinds in both bedrooms provided sufficient darkness for sleeping.
What could be improved: We had difficulty finding the reception, but finaly met with help of Booking messages. No ventilation in bathrooms complicated getting rid of odor. Although we were four, only three chairs were available by the dining table.

"Excellent family stay"
The location was great, the apartment was lovely, spacious and very clean. Communication and check in was excellent and very friendly. Loads of restaurants around, convenient local shop for essentials and easy access of tube & trains for exploring wider areas of london. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
What could be improved: Really loved it all, the microwave didn't work due to broken buttons and a couple of the pans weren't suitable for the induction hob but it wasn't an issue for us as we had other options.

"Great spot. Would stay again."
Location perfect for the ExCel where we were exhibiting. Very comfy beds. Well equipped.
What could be improved: Apartment was a bit tired. Some parts slightly scruffy and bedroom carpets very stained which made them feel dirty.

"Great location for the excel centre, fantastic views from the 14th floor. Great host(s) - very help"
Face to face service and very accommodating in giving precise directions to the apartment and parking.
What could be improved: The apartment temperature was too high - needed Air Con. Even with the windows open, it took a while for the apartment to cool down.
