We stayed here for one night on a Saturday night before the London Marathon. We had a very comfortable room with a great view. The rooms look brand new and the furnishings match this new and clean feel all the same. Fab shower in the room too. Quiet for a Saturday night too, which is unusual for a hotel especially... More

Booked for 3 nights over the May Bank holiday for the girlfriend as we had a few events booked in the London city. The hotel is about 40 minutes away by Docklands Light Railway (DLR) but trains are frequent (almost every 5 minutes) so it wasnt really a problem. i think the last one was about midnight so providing you...

Fantastic, modern, comfortable, relaxed and very welcoming. Brilliant friendly staff made our one night stay here very pleasurable. Room was very well appointed, lightning fast internet in the room and communal areas. Really felt like a home from home. Highly recommended.

We spent one night at Aloft, choosing it because of it's close proximity to London City Airport. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was fabulous, big and clean. The bathroom was spotless. The TV large, but my husband had trouble working it. Bed was comfortable. Enormous windows with fabulous views. Breakfast was adequate but not exciting.
