ibis London Blackfriars

The location was convenient for where we wanted to be in the city. Staff were really helpful and when we had a problem with the air con leaking in the room it was quickly resolved, cleaned up, and a couple of free drinks given for the inconvenience. It was easy to turn up, pay, and have breakfast on the day week needed it and the selection was in line with what I would expect.

The staff were excellent, and the bed was comfortable. There were a good number of on-site services such as food, a bar, laundry, etc. The location is extremely convenient to the west end, and the price was very affordable with that in mind.

The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The hotel kindly let us check in at 11:30am, so we could store our bags, as one of our rooms was ready early. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the triple being very large when compared with similar hotels. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning much appreciated. Breakfast was of a high standard; lots of choice and good quality food - I have a gripe with cheap sausages, but these were Cumberland and very tasty! Would advise avoiding peak breakfast times, as we did, meaning it was lovely and quiet. Hotel is only a two minute walk from Southwark Station, though there were issues with the line and station when we stayed - no fault of the hotel! Ubers are frequent and arrived within minutes.

Everything was as I expected. Clean, orderly and comfortable. Perfect for where I needed to get to (concert at the Southbank Centre). Bed was reasonably comfortable given that I'm old and knackered. Shower was perfect. Tea, coffee stuff etc. Love that it has a safe in the room for your valuables. My only criticism would be that should the weather have been above 20°c, the room might have been a bit warm but I did make a point of opening the window as soon as I entered and settled in and left it.open all night, which put the room.at an ambient temperature. But like I say, that would be my.only negative. I'd certainly stop again.

We really liked the location, two metro stations in walking distance and we also walked back to the hotel from the centre quite easily. The bar was a lovely stop before going to sleep and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
