London visit
The apartment was nice and certainly large enough for the four of us. There were two bedrooms up a spiral staircase. One had a double bed and doors which led out onto a small decking area at the back of the flat with no view. The other had a double bed and two single beds (and a cot) and an en suite. This bedroom, however, had a skylight window with a blind on it but we searched everywhere to find the pole to pull the blind shut but could not find it. We had to get a chair from down stairs so we could reach the blind and close it. Then we realised that the window in this room had no curtains or blinds so there was nothing to stop the light coming streaming in in the morning. We were hoping for a relaxing break!! We were awakened by the planes at 07.00 anyway but did not want to get up at 05.00 when the sunlight broke through!!
This window looked onto the decking area so our friends could see into our room!! Not very practical if children had been using this room.The following day I tried to block some of the light by placing extra pillows etc at the window which did not help much. Also some of the light bulbs did not work.
There were a couple of small supermarkets nearby.

Great apartment ideally situated
With a family of 5 it is always difficult to find a room with space. Fox apartments provided us with the space needed with the high levels of cleanliness and facilities required. The apartment is ideally situated within walking distance to both the ExCel and the O2 (with a small trip via the sky-rail) and 1 minute walk to the DLR for those wanting a quick ride into the heart of London.

Luxury accommodation in East London
Outstanding location, practically at the door of Excel center. Apartment on 2 levels, 2 bedrooms with 5 beds total, 2.5 bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room plus dedicated office area. Very clean, daily maid service. I don' have enough words to explain but is a perfect solution for the sophisticated business traveler that needs to be in that area of London. DLR train station at the door, easy connection to any place in London or you can have a car service called to drive you anywhere by request ( arranged by apartment management)

Steps from ExCel Centre
Very spacious and equipped with excellent appliances, utensils, linens, TV with access to Netflix, YouTube, etc., comfortable beds and, couches, chairs. A very secure building. Near many restaurants and a short walk to markets for food. However carpet in living room is torn and needs to be replaced. Some furniture in master bedroom and bathrooms nis scratched or has damaged finish and needs to be replaced. Very clean. Could be improved by having instructions on how to use the appliances: microwave; oven; washing machine; dryer; etc. keys are picked up in the cafe next door - Fox ExCel. Though not managers of the apartment, workers at the FoxExCel were very helpful. Be aware that the bedrooms are accessed via a spiral staircase. Can't beat the location. Easy to. Get around using the DLR and connecting to the tube.

Loved it
Really liked this apartment. We shared it with friends and their kids. Plenty of room for all of us. Great to have the space to sit relax and chat through our days in comfort. Much better than getting hotel rooms. We have the same event on next year and we are definitely going to try and book again should they have the a availability.

I tried so hard to like this place, but...
First and foremost, the bar manager(s) who check you in and "try" to help you were super-nice and did the best they could. Location was actually pretty good; it was safe and right on DLR (but about 25 inured from central London). Now the bad; no air conditioning so we had to open windows and skylight just to get one airflow. It was only in the mid 60's but it was near stiffing in the apartment - I could not imagine what it would have been like if it was in the 70's or even 80s. With those windows open, the nighttime noise, trains and yes landing airplanes made sleep nearly impossible unless we were 3-4 beers into it.. Hot water heater was turned off so we took cold showers for 2 days before it was running well - but on,y enough for 2 showers and a quick shave, which was tough considering we had 5 staying there. Washer/dryer combo worked poorly. Fridge had been turned off and at best reached 45-50 after 3 days. Shower drains needed snaking and we were ankle deep in water always. Many broken cabinets. Summary: cold showers, hot apartment & unexpectedly noisy because wi does had to be open. Friendly staff tried there best but it was obvious owner had not kept up maintenance or tried to stay there during summer. I think they said he was in Hong Kong.

Beware - get assurance you won't be moved!
Although the flats are comfortable and well maintained, it was very disappointing to find out that - due to them being privately owned - the owners seem to have the right to interrupt your stay and take back their flat at any time they please. As a high end and well respected company, having used the Fox Apartments for our Managing Director, it was a great disappointment and disrespectful interruption when we found that he was moved out of the apartment into another for one evening, and then moved out of this apartment into a hotel for a further night - all because the owners of the flats brought their plans forward! Anyone booking should be aware of this and ensure that this is not likely to happen to them.

Decent quality appartment for O2 arena area
Great location for the O2. A fair distance from central London but "doable"
Very plush and first impressions were very good. Not an easy location luggage etc though to unload if travelling by car and a tad difficult to get information before the visit as I'd asked fro some information on extra bedding and parking which they chose not to respond to. The free parking turned out to be about 3 miles drive away but less than half a miles walk away through the excel or 1 stop on the DLR. all very easy once I'd figured it out for myself.
Would I go back. Maybe, but not if my main purpose was central London.

Great location Excel but variation of apartments
Our colleagues stayed in the apartments over the Fox bar which was of the standard we expected from the photos. Ours however felt like it was a privately owned apartment just put up for let recently, as there were personal touches such as glow in the dark stars on the ceilings, used items in the cupboards & children’s height measurements on the door frame!!!
Overall good apartment but need to be depersonalised & have a slight freshen up for corporate guests.

The two bedroomed accommodation was brilliant. The only negative was that the hot water didn't last long so ended up with hot-cold showers.

Great location and spacious apartment for 5.
We stayed at these apartments for 3 nights over New Year. On arrival the bar underneath the apartments was closed and no-one was around to get the keys from. We were however early for check in so went to the bar in the Crowne Plaza around the corner and had lunch. At check in someone was there waiting for us to hand over the key and show us the apartment. It was very well maintained, clean and extremely spacious. Downstairs there was a large open plan room with 2 couches, large tv, dining room table with 4 chairs and a really good kitchen. Up a spiral staircase there was a large bathroom, huge bedroom with 2 single beds and a double bed and another room with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. All rooms were of a high standard and we were really impressed. There were a number of small supermarkets close by with good choices for meals. The DLR station was literally around the corner and Canning Town underground station was a short 10 minute walk away. Overall we really enjoyed this stay and would definitely stay again.

Ampio e pulito, ristrutturato, un po' distante
Extremely large flat (# 9). Two floors, three WC, shower and bath tub. Lovely position, very quiet. If you like darkness at night, take some sleeping masks with you. Daily cleaning. Southern Europe clients are not comfortable with carpet, but never mind. It's in zone 3, so the trip downtown is a bit long and expensive, but it's ideal for families and group of friends. There is no reception, so check in straight at the manager of the pub, who was sooo nice!

Great for runners and family for London marathon.
Great apartment with all mod cons. Could do with additional pillows and tea towels but other than that everything we needed for a weekend or longer stay. Ideal for the excel and the docklands light railway gets you around very easily. Apartment has the room for additional sofa bed in the living area and so optimise the number of guests.
