Generally the hotel was fine. Bed was comfy.Air-con did not work though. This was raised with reception who confirmed it's the same in all rooms. …

This budget hotel was sufficient for our purpose of an overnight trip to London. It was a bit shabby and musty, but at half the price of a hotel nearer the O2, it was affordable, and the bed was comfortable. I played £168 for a double room. Which had a coffee making area and a nice size telly. A small but sufficient ensuit. The star of the show was the breakfast, which was good value, a continental for £6.50 and the child ate free. She had a traditional cooked breakfast 😋

Reasonably priced especially for London. They have a small parking lot which is £12 per 24 hours (make sure and register and pay at reception to avoid fines!). Good location for The O2 as it’s only a 15 minute drive if going by car or a short tube ride from Canary Wharf station.

I don't like to write bad reviews of the places I visit. It's important that everyone sees the reality behind the marketingThe location of the hotel is not bad. The traffic is a bit noisy but bearable.The problems came after that.Room, shabby and not clean. You can see from the pictures that it needs renovation and the cleaning was not good.Breakfast, I have been to England several times and the traditional English breakfast- which I paid for- is not like this.Staff, all young -which of course is not a problem- but their attitude is all wrong. I should mention that there were two young girls who were nice and helpful but they must have been at the bottom of the organisation. The rest of the staff acted as if they were doing me a favour by serving me even though I had paid for the room 😀At the time of my stay a room was starting at £209 based on the advertising post on the street.

Ideal for a budget hotel, we used as visiting London for ABBA, which was close by. Easy to book through theatre breaks. Downstairs all newly decorated and looks clean and fresh. Check in was quick and easy, but did not make me feel welcome. Not offered breakfast or given any information about services etc. Nice size room, a bit shabby. The bedroom blackout curtain worked well, but had stains/marks on them. Bedroom carpet had marks on it. Small but functional bathroom, but the floor has stains/ white marks on it. Around the plugs needed a good clean. The door in and out of the bathroom was loud to open/close as not a turn handle but a push /pull. Shower rain very hot randomly.No nighttime noise which was good. Traffic noise minimal. When we left, a few staff around but noone said hello, good morning and we just left the cards in a reception box.

Stayed September 2024. The room I was given smelt of drains. It was appalling. I was told the room did have a problem with the drains, but it had been fixed. I was moved to another room, but by the morning the drain smells were back. I won't be back. Also, dirty stained carpets. Shower was not clean. Toilet roll had not been changed.

Nice room. Air con and clean. Small bathroom but not really an issue. Really quiet and easy to get to. Use the DLR train to get there. Breakfast was lovley and the coffee is fab!! Im usually really fussy about hotels but I will come back here. Perfect for 02 and Canary Wharf and only 30 mins from Kings Cross.

I stayed here one night prior to departing from London City Airport early the next morning. This is a place for 1 night only as there are few food offerings in the vicinity. …

The room is quite expensive for what it is being essentially a box room with a shower room. The carpet of the room looks quite dirty and could do with a deep clean. The room itself is comfortable and there’s little to no outside noise which was great. It’s a short walk from the Blackwall DLR station which was easy for us to get to where we wanted to visit. There was a booking issue which meant my Husband’s breakfast wasn’t included so he was charged £13.50 whenever he required breakfast which is extortionate for a small platter like plate of food. In a nutshell, I wouldn’t rush back to stay with you but I would be happy to stay in another IBIS branded hotel.

The hotel its self was fine.However, i phoned before we stayed and was told that the car park was secure, had a secure gate and CCTV.We paid for parking and returned on another occasion to use the car park... paying £20 for the privilege.The car park is NOT SECURE... our van got broken into we had thousands of pounds of damage done and all our tools stolen.When we checked we were told the CCTV is not accessible and the gate was wide open. Not a secure car park.DO NOT PARK IN THIS CAR PARK
