The bathroom has a bathtub with a showerhead above it rather than a proper walk-in shower.
This hotel has double, twin and family rooms. Some wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available.

Like other hotels near ExCeL, prices at the Premier Inn can vary a lot with significantly higher prices when there is a big event on at ExCeL. However, it can also be a reasonably affordable place to stay when there is nothing on at ExCeL.
The hotel is only a four-minute walk from the ExCeL exhibition and convention centre and around a 15-minute walk from the terminal building at London City Airport. It is part of a cluster of hotels near ExCeL (which also include a Travelodge, a Hampton by Hilton, a Holiday Inn Express, a Moxy, the Aloft London ExCeL and the DoubleTree by Hilton ExCeL).The immediate neighbourhood feels barren and charmless with modern hotels surrounded by car parking; however, it is probably one of the better-located hotels near ExCeL as it is right next to the Fox @ Connaught pub, which is the only building in the area to have any character.
It is a five-minute walk from Prince Regent DLR station, which is around a 20-minute ride from The City with trains running every eight minutes or so.
It is free to park overnight at the hotel, however, there is a £12 per day charge if you use the car park between 9.30am and 5.30pm.
Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and it usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
