Clean but small rooms and noisy pluming. Not a lot nearby. Fairly close to transit. Decent for the price point. I much preferred the atmosphere of the city north of the river.

It was an okay hotel. Staff nice but rooms are VERY small. Beds extremely small. The bathroom was very small also. Felt like a bathroom you would find in a boat. No room to put things on the counter.

Great location and hotel. Seconds away from subway, central to the sights and with quite a few nice eateries and bars nearby. The hotel was clean and nicely furnished. Room was a good size with nice views of Big Ben, London Eye and OXO tower. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good quality. Would definitely stay again on future visits to London.

The first room 528 we were put in had issues with the door not locking securely. When we were on our way out for dinner and closed the door I turned the handle which was locked and didn’t move but when I pushed the door it opened. I tried pulling on the handle to see if the door would latch shut, there was no way this door was going to lock. We asked for a room change and moved down the hall. The bathroom is very small and unhygienic the only towel you receive are bath towels no hand towels and they are hanging below the sink right beside the toilet bowl. The cleaning staff made the bed and folded the towel and little else, the garbage cans didn’t get emptied until the third day. The curtains where stained and dirty Ibis should be ashamed to operate this property as a hotel property. This is our first and last stay at an ibis hotel this is definitely not a 3 or 4 star hotel I’d rate it closer to 1 1/2 star. The hotel and restaurant staff were outstanding, the cleaning staff were subpar as were the rooms. To avoid disappointment look at other properties in the area and avoid ibs

The rooms are dated and it was freezing (I actually slept in a bob hat!). The air conditioning unit that attempted to heat the room only worked intermittently and was incredibly noisy. The external noise from the third floor woke me up regularly.

I guess location is everything for this hotel, just a few minutes walk to the river at Blackfriars bridge. My only interaction with the staff was at check-in, polite and efficient. Room was disappointing for a room that should have been over £200 for the night, Expedia points brought it down significantly. The room was just old looking, and yet still looked unfinished.En-suite bathroom was modern and worked fine. The bar area looked good but did not use it and did not have breakfast here as London is just outside the door.

No WiFi in the rooms. Quality of breakfast was poor and limited. There was more processed foods and good quality basics. Ended up going to a local Pret on the corner.

In 2023, it's incredible that WIFI doesn't work. I would say crazy. WiFi didn't work the whole 4 days in the room and it worked only close to the reception.

Great staff but rooms a little dated
Plus points were that the staff were really lovely, very cheerful and smiley. Also the evening meal I had was pretty good, and the portions were very generous - good value. It was very quiet in the room despite some building work going on opposite. However, having come straight from a hotel in a different chain, I was particularly struck by a couple of negatives in the room - electric points were in inconvenient places for both the kettle and your phone. The seat provided was uncomfortable and you couldn't see the TV from the fixed position it was in. There were some signs of wear around the bathroom pod too.
