Full review

We stayed here for one night in October 2007. Like other reviewers I chose it for its prices and proximity to places in London we needed to be.
When you first get to the Ibis you are presented with an oppressing concrete box (although it was raining which didn't help its image...). You head across the rather tired looking foyer to a desk manned by (on our visit) staff who's English wasn't the best. After 25 minutes watching the receptionist look rather confused, tutting and asking us the same questions repeatedly (the lady had apparently no idea how to process booking which had been done through internet travel brokers) We were given our key and headed up to our room via a rickety lift. The corridors reminded me of an old school; in a bad state of repair, threadbare carpet and a funny smell. The room itself wasn't at all bad, quite modern fixtures, in a good state of repair, the bathroom and majority of the living space was clean. The only issue we had was some suspicious looking hairs and stains on the bed. Due to it only being a quick visit we did not try the food, so I cannot comment on that. Over all, I wouldn't recommend the Ibis, unless you have no intention of staying very long and check the sheets, or if its all your budget will allow.
