Great Budget Stay in a Well-Connected Location

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

PatrickIrl TripAdvisor review

We recently stayed at ibis London Blackfriars and had a very good experience overall. This is a well-located budget hotel that delivers exactly what you’d expect: clean, functional rooms, efficient service, and great transport links. Check-in & Service Check-in was quick and hassle-free. We arrived early, and the staff kindly stored our luggage while we explored the city. Throughout our stay, the team was friendly and helpful. One thing we really appreciated was that the hotel allows you to store your luggage on the last day, making it easy to explore without carrying bags around. Rooms & Comfort The rooms are basic but well-equipped. The bed was surprisingly comfortable (seems to be memory foam), and we had plenty of towels. The bathroom is a pod-style unit, all plastic but practical and clean. Our room was located right by the elevator (Room 1124), but noise was never an issue. The only downside is that the window is quite small, but since we spent most of our time exploring, it didn’t bother us. Dining & Bar Options We had breakfast in the hotel one morning, which was a simple but good buffet. You pay just before eating, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The hotel’s bar and restaurant are combined in the lobby, which is a casual and comfortable space. If you’re looking for something a little more upscale, the Novotel next door has a lovely bar—we went there twice for drinks and found the service excellent. Transport & Location This hotel is in a fantastic location for exploring London. It’s well connected by public transport: • Southwark Tube Station (Jubilee Line) is just 100 meters away. • Blackfriars Tube Station (Circle & District Lines) is a few blocks away at the bridge. There’s also a taxi rank outside, though taking a cab can be pricey—we paid around £16 into the city. That said, London is a great city for walking, and we often opted to explore on foot. On our last day, we realized how convenient the location was: after visiting the Houses of Parliament, we crossed the river to check out the Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel, only to find ourselves back at Waterloo Station, just five minutes from the hotel. If the weather is nice, I’d highly recommend walking into central London—it takes around 20 to 25 minutes and is a great way to soak in the city. Neighborhood & Safety The area around the hotel is quiet and pleasant, a nice break from the crowds of Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. However, a quick safety tip: be aware of phone snatchers on electric mopeds. This nearly happened to us on our way to dinner—a group attempted to grab a phone, but luckily, it hit the ground instead. It was more of an opportunistic crime than anything violent, but it’s worth staying alert when using your phone in public. Final Thoughts Overall, ibis London Blackfriars is a solid choice for a budget-friendly stay in a well-connected part of London. The staff are great, the rooms are comfortable, and the transport options are excellent. If you’re looking for an affordable hotel with no frills but everything you need, this is a great option. We’d definitely stay here again!

Superb location just south of the river and easy walkable access to Covent Garden, Tate modern, and Borough market. Close to both Southwark and Waterloo tube stations for travelling further afield. Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable beds and a good breakfast. A really good stay, thoroughly recommend it as a base for a visit, and a great price.

It was great except being on the lower floor meant you hear more things that are going on and your sleep gets disturbed.
