ibis London Canning Town bintang 3

Lovely hotel with a great vibe. The lounge area downstairs has a great atmosphere during the day and at night with lots of seats, cafe/bar area. Friendly and welcoming staff at the reception. My room was nice and clean but about a third smaller in comparison to other Ibis hotels I stayed before. Must be a London thing. The soundproofing was good, couldn't hear the noise from the streets with a closed window. Nice bathroom with good lights to do make-up. Comfy bed but my duvet could have been warmer. The aircon/heating worked well though. The only thing that can be improved for sure is the extractor in the bathroom.

We stayed for 2 nights over the weekend. From the second we got there the service was fantastic. Kurtis on reception was fantastic really friendly and chatty everytime we saw him, he is a real asset to the hotel. He gave us a room at the front with a great view. Breakfast was good, a nice selection and you could help yourself. Tahir at breakfast offered excellent service nothing was too much trouble for him, you just ask. It would have been a higher score if it wasn't for the bed being really hard and very uncomfortable. The mattress is like concrete and on top of that is a thin foam topper no more that an inch thick as long as you weren't sat on it, which had seen better days to be honest I would have thrown it out by now, it serves no purpose. I did go to reception and spoke to Kurtis who said he would try his best to see if they could change it but the hotel was fully booked but he would try his best. Unfortunatley it could not be changed! So another uncomfortable night of not really sleeping. The room is very impratical if you are a woman, there is a desk/dressing table but with no mirror near it. There is a full lenght mirror on the other side of the room but without a shelf anywhere near it to put your make up etc when getting ready! There is a plug socket underneath the full length mirror but if you are trying to use the hairdyer in the room you will not be able to stand and dry your hair as the lead attached is coiled on the hairdryer and is very tight and short so you have to sit in the chair in front of the mirror with your foot holding the plug in as when you try to dry the back of your hair the plug will pop out. There is not alot of room to put your things so dont bring too much as storage space is a bare minimum. Also in the bathroom there is nowhere to put your toiletry bags, shampoos etc apart from on the sink which is very impractical. If it wasn't for the bed I would stay again but as was it was so so uncomfortable and of such a poor quality I would swerve this hotel.

I sometimes stop in for a drink on my way home from work and the staff are a pleasure to be around! It's always such a warm welcome especially Luna she was so welcoming and made me laugh whilst also staying very proffessional. Thanks guys.

Clean and nice, but: - temperature too high in the room (brought it manually to 18, but didn’t work) - one towel per person is unacceptable. Do you really use the same towel for your face and for everything below your waist? - far too expensive (152 pounds/night, and booked a month in advance)

Well situated opposite the Tube station to take one stop for the O2. Small but clean and quiet room. Good breakfast buffet. Reasonable price for London and much cheaper than staying in central London with good Tube links.
