More Motels and Hotels Near ExCeL and Stratford We Could Not Fully Confirm

Several more places appear in listings for the borough. We found only one source for each, so we flag them as unconfirmed. Check each one by phone or on its official site before you book.

The Royal Docks tourism site lists Moxy London ExCeL at Royal Albert Dock, Hampton by Hilton at Royal Albert Dock, Travelodge London ExCeL at Royal Albert Dock, a Premier Inn at Royal Victoria Dock and a Holiday Inn Express beside Royal Albert DLR station. The same page lists Connaught House Hotel, a Grade II listed building with a pub, and Sunborn London, a superyacht hotel moored near ExCeL.

The page also lists Good Hotel London, a floating hotel. We could not confirm whether the hotel is open today, so we do not recommend booking without a phone call first.

In Stratford, the Premier Inn London Stratford website describes a seven minute walk to Stratford station and a position close to Westfield. A travel site also lists Moxy London Stratford and Hotel DC for the borough. We did not verify addresses or policies for these hotels.

Where to Stay in Newham: Royal Docks or Stratford

Both areas suit different trips. The Royal Docks suit events at ExCeL, flights from London City Airport and waterfront walks. Stratford suits visits to the Olympic Park, shopping and rail links.

Marriott says Stratford sits about 30 minutes from the Aloft by DLR. The hotel also lists about 20 minutes to central London by Elizabeth line and about 45 minutes to Heathrow. Use these figures as a guide and check live journey times before you travel.

Stratford brings more rail choices. The Holiday Inn Express lists Elizabeth line trains direct to Heathrow and a bus from Stansted to Westfield Stratford. Choose the area to match your main reason for the trip.

Hotels Near Attractions in Newham

ExCeL London anchors the Royal Docks. Aloft and Courtyard both describe a short walk to the centre. Immerse LDN sits beside Aloft. Canary Wharf, The O2 and central London sit within reach by rail according to both Marriott hotels.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park anchors Stratford. The Holiday Inn Express lists the Orbit, the Olympic Stadium, the London Aquatic Centre, the Copper Box Arena and Lee Valley VeloPark as nearby. Westfield Stratford City is also nearby.

If you want a hotel near the park, look at Stratford first. If you want a hotel near the exhibition centre, look at the Royal Docks first.

Getting to Newham

The Docklands Light Railway serves both parts of the borough. The Aloft page lists DLR Prince Regent and the Elizabeth line at Custom House. The Courtyard page lists London City Airport DLR station. The Holiday Inn Express page gives train and bus directions from five London airports.

Marriott lists London City Airport about 1.3 kilometres from Aloft and about 0.4 kilometres from Courtyard. Neither hotel runs an airport shuttle. Heathrow sits far from the borough, so plan on rail travel. Check Transport for London for live service updates before you go.

Old Listings We Removed

The earlier version of this guide named The Royal Crown as a pub stay in Canning Town. We could not find any source showing rooms at a pub with this name in Newham. We removed the listing.

The old text promised fireplaces, rooftop fire pits and spas at several hotels. We could not confirm these details, so we dropped them.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We read the Marriott pages for Aloft London ExCeL and Courtyard London City Airport. We read the Holiday Inn Express Stratford website and the IHG listing. We read the Royal Docks tourism page and searched for Hilton details. Travel Weekly, Guest Reservations, Trivago and Expedia gave address and time checks.

We could not read the full Hilton page for the DoubleTree. We could not confirm any pub rooms named The Royal Crown. We could not confirm the current status of Good Hotel London. We did not verify the single-source hotels in the unconfirmed section above.

We quote no rates. We state no drive times we could not source. Phone the hotel to confirm anything important, such as parking, pets, breakfast and late check-out.
