Pleasant, efficient, and value for money
Pros:

Easy location to find and quick check in late at night. Loved the welcome cookies, a really nice touch. I booked the room on the day and was pleasantly surprised at the price for an overnight stay in london near the excel.

Cons:

Only small issue was the lighting, one switch controlled everything so I couldn't just have a bedside light on.
