Room was relatively ok except: 1) First cleaning service brought bunch of dark long hairs to my room floor which shouldn't happen. 2) In the shower it takes close to forever before there's nothing but cold water available. 3) In the TV usage of HDMI-input is blocked "for security reasons" but still streaming directly to TV is allowed --> This feels like you have need to tease your customers. As a positive side I really liked the personnel. Hope you can you something also to the points I raised above...

Elena K. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I loved where the Hotel is located, the access to infrastructure. It was also very clean, everything worked as it supposed to. The room was well lit, there was enough space for things, full-height mirror (huge plus!). The room temperature was perfect. I also enjoyed breakfast, it was fresh and tasty with a big variety of options but not an overwhelming one. Overall, perfect experience.

Great breakfast, very helpful team in the check in counter. The room itself is ok, I found the bedding and the pillow quite old.

Centrally located on South Bank. A little far to hop on hop off buses, but very convenient for Uber or walkers.

Valerie P. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I love the location of this hotel with the tube a short walk away and a stretch of restaurants just around the corner. Breakfast was repetitive but selection was wide enough to have daily variety over 3 days. The croissants are my favorite! The rooms are spacious by London standards and the staff are all lovely people.

Amanda B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Room: - Bed: Comfortable - Pillows: Terrible. Thin but not firm - Space: Not fancy but spacious - Bathroom: Bad. Only one towel total for sink and shower. No hand towels for the sink to dry your hands. The toilet is built into the wall like an airplane toilet. The pipes are LOUD. As loud as an electric shaver or hair dryer or vacuum every time you flush the toilet or wash your hands Food: - Breakfast: Good. Buffet with eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, pastries, meats, and yogurts. I saw employees check the temperature of the meats with a thermometer to make sure they were safe. The restaurant was busy every morning, but the servers kept the queue moving and cleared tables promptly. I never saw food run out - Dinner: Disappointing. I ordered a burger, and it was edible but not great. Maybe something else on the menu would be better Location: - Close to public transit: 2 min walk to Southwark metro, 15 min walk to Blackfriars station - Close to tourist attractions: Short walk to Imperial War Museum and Tate Modern, 30 min walk to West End

For a solo trip, the room was clean and extremely comfortable. The daily housekeeping was prompt and excellent. You have all the necessary basic imminaties that you may require during your stay. The location is central and few minutes away from the tube and walkable to so many places touristy, cafes, restaurants, mini market and other transportation stations.

Francesco T. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Rooms are essential but clean and warm. Bed is also comfortable, I slept well. The bathroom could be improved, but overall is ok. Staff is kind and breakfast is very good. The position is the key advantage of this hotel. I advice staying at Ibis for a short trip in London!

It’s great to know that you slept well, found the room comfortable, and started your days with a good breakfast. Thank you as well for your honest comments about the bathroom. We appreciate feedback like this, as it helps us understand where we can improve. What made me smile most was reading that you would recommend us for a short trip to London. That's a wonderful compliment and means a lot to the team. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to London. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager

Too expensive for what it is

Dear Manfred, Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad there were some positive aspects to your stay, but I'm sorry to hear that you didn't feel the experience offered the value you were expecting. We understand that when choosing a hotel, guests want to feel that the quality of their stay matches the price paid, and I'm disappointed that we fell short of that on this occasion. I will also be reaching out to you personally, as I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and better understand what we could have done differently. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Honest feedback like yours is invaluable and helps us improve. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager

Catherine H. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Everything was excellent apart from the set up for the tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The electric socket was in an unreachable position without having to reorganize the kettle position.

Dear Catherine, Thank you for your review. I'm so pleased to hear that our team helped make your stay a positive one. Friendly and helpful service is something we care deeply about, so your kind words really mean a lot. Thank you as well for your feedback about the tea and coffee facilities. I completely understand how having to move things around just to reach a power socket can be frustrating, especially when you're simply trying to enjoy a hot drink and relax. I appreciate you taking the time to point this out. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back the next time you're in London. Kind regards, Dylan Ziouche Assistant General Manager
