Zuleekhah B. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff were friendly and quick to respond and the overall stay was pleasant. The discounted 2nd room for families also made it a reasonable choice. My only negatives are the availability of only one high chair for families with kids to dine. Also the fact that glasses are placed in the toilet for drinking water doesn't sit right with me. Alternatively they could be stored elsewhere or bottled water can provided.

Maloshree S. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

Housekeeping could provide some hand towels instead of putting bath towel for the same. And leave two bath towels for shower only. Could be better if the food menu had more options. Rest everything was perfect. Lovely staff, very accommodating, friendly and welcoming.

Dear Maloshree, Thank you for your review. I'm really pleased to hear that you had a comfortable stay and that our team helped make you feel welcome. Reading comments about friendly, accommodating staff always makes me smile, as looking after our guests is what we enjoy most. Thank you as well for your helpful feedback. I completely understand your comments regarding the towels and the dining options. Small details like these can make a difference to the overall experience, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions with us. It's lovely to hear that, aside from those points, everything else was perfect. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to London.

Adrian S. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked a cityscape room. It was very small and the view was very small; a half sized window. We were given a different cityscape room after complaining. This room was bigger, not a lot, with a bigger view, which was still small.

Adrian, Thank you for your review. I'm pleased to hear that, after raising your concerns, our team was able to move you to another room that better suited your expectations. That said, I'm sorry that the original City View room did not live up to what you were hoping for. I completely understand your disappointment if the room and the window felt smaller than expected, especially when you had specifically chosen that room type for the view. I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Comments like yours help us better understand how guests experience our rooms and how we can set clearer expectations. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a future visit to London. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager

Suzel F. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

We could hear people flushing in other rooms, water from the showers of other rooms, people talking in the corridor, doors closing. The lifts were always packed, I've waited 10 minutes (3 lifts fully packed stopped at my floor which was the 6th) and I had to take the stairs to the lobby. Nevertheless, the staff is very friendly.

Suzel, Thank you for your review. I'm really sorry to hear that the noise levels affected your stay. Not being able to relax or enjoy a good night's sleep because of sounds from neighbouring rooms, corridors, and building services must have been frustrating, and I completely understand your disappointment. I was also sorry to read about the experience with the lifts. Having to wait several times for full lifts and eventually take the stairs is certainly not ideal, especially when you're simply trying to get around the hotel. That said, I truly appreciate your kind words about the team. It means a lot to know that, despite these challenges, our staff helped make a positive impression during your stay. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. Comments like yours help us understand where we need to improve, and we genuinely appreciate it. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager

Check-in procedure was extremely slow, no dedicated line for members.

Dear Mate, Thank you for your review. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location and found the beds comfortable. After a busy day in London, a good night's sleep can make all the difference, so it's great to know that part of your stay was a positive one. That said, I'm sorry to hear that the check-in process felt slow. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to wait when arriving at the hotel, especially after travelling. I also appreciate your comments regarding the lack of a dedicated line for members. We are currently working on this to increase the smoothness of the check-in process. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value it, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

Starbuck S. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

Jump off the train at St Pancras, get the 63 bus from outside Kings Cross, 20 minutes later I'm outside The Ibis Blackfriars, couldn't be easier. Great location for taking a boat taxi, visiting The Hayward and Tate Modern galleries, going to gigs at The Southbank, visiting St Paul's Cathedral amongst other great attractions, this hotel is in such a great location. There's also lots of lovely bars and restaurants in the area and yet it's nice and quiet. It's been a great find for me, think you'll find it to be the same for you

Dear S., Thank you so much for this lovely review. Reading your comments genuinely made me smile. There's no better compliment than hearing from a returning guest who keeps choosing us whenever they're in London. It sounds like you've really discovered the best of the area, from the South Bank and St Paul's to the river taxis, galleries, and live events. One of the things I love most about our location is exactly what you mentioned: being close to so much, while still offering a peaceful place to relax at the end of the day. Thank you as well for your kind words about the hotel. Knowing that we've become your go-to place to stay in London means a great deal to all of us. We truly appreciate your loyalty and can't wait to welcome you back on your next visit. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager

Depressing london hotel with no character far from the Tube stations if you have bags.

Dear Jerome, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your stay did not leave a positive impression. We understand that hotel design and décor are very much a matter of personal taste, and I'm disappointed that you found the atmosphere and style of the hotel did not meet your expectations. I was also sorry to read your comments regarding the walk from the nearest Tube station, particularly when travelling with luggage. We appreciate that convenience is an important part of any stay. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Honest feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us better understand our guests' experiences.

Liam F. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

The moment after arriving at the hotel, the staff were very warm and welcoming at check in. The room I stayed in was lovely, it was clean, tidy and neat and was exactly what I was looking for in a hotel room. I also ate downstairs at Charlies Corner whilst I was staying there. The food at Charlies Corner was lovely and reasonably priced. They also had an extensive drinks menu to choose from to satisfy all your needs.

Dear Liam, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Reading your comments genuinely made me smile. There’s nothing better than arriving at a hotel and immediately feeling welcome, so I’m delighted that our team helped start your stay on the right note.

Medwell S. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Pleasant, modern Hotel. The room was small, but this was to be expected. It was spoilt by very bad choice of furnishings which made it seem even smaller and cluttered than it should have been. But the cleanliness of the shower room was top notch. Room was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast choices were amazing and overall it was a very enjoyable stay.

Dear Medwell, Thank you for your lovely review. I'm so pleased to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay with us. It’s great to know that you found the room comfortable and quiet, and that you were able to get a good night's sleep after a day exploring London. I also really appreciate your balanced feedback. While I'm glad the room met your expectations overall, I understand your comments about the furnishings and how they impacted the feeling of space in the room. Thank you for sharing that with us. What made me smile most was reading your comments about breakfast. Our team works hard to offer a wide variety of options, so it's wonderful to know that it helped start your day on the right note. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to London. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager
