Other Top Tips:
The most affordable hotels are located away from the immediate area of ExCel, when searching for accommodation, use the search filters to look for:
Hotels located close to the Elizabeth Line, this line offers direct access to ExCel and you can pick the station closest to your preferred location
Search by star rating, 3 star hotels will offer lower rates
Use the drop down sort filter to show hotels in price order (low to high) and also, discount order, showing those hotels that are offering any special rate
Other sites and booking directly with the hotels may be cheaper - please do shop around.
*Please be aware of fraudulent emails or providers offering accommodation booking services. Follow good practice in identifying if contact is legitimate. Travel Housing is not affiliated with the BGS
