A well-located hotel and a comfortable stay!

Excellent value in central location for the budget minded

Claire Business - 5/22/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The Ibis Blackfriar is well located in central London, walking distance to 3 Tube entrances. The rooms are simple, clean but small. This hotel is an excellent choice for the budget traveller. I found the self serve breakfast tasty with a wide range of options. What stood out for me was the personal service from the front desk staff who helped me with taxis and directions. Unfortunately there was spotty wi-fi service during my stay, but this was not the hotel's fault as the service was down on the entire block.

Dear Claire,, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, Guest Experience

Hotel gone downhill since we last stayed. Check in v slow, too many guests waiting. 2 staff more interested in giving people directions and recommendations than checking people in.

Another good stay, let down by post-checkout invoicing

Nick T. Business - 5/19/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay is consistently good. The hotel is clean and fresh. Breakfast is easy and good quality. Check-in is smart and efficient. The wifi was not working - it would connect but no Internet access on floor 10 I was assured at check-in, that an invoice would be emailed immediately after checkout. 3 days and 3 emails later and no invoice. The contact phone number will not connect.

Well located & quiet but WIFI was down

Q. Business - 5/19/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room is tidy and clean, quiet, personnel is friendly. But I was there for work and WIFI was down for my whole stay. The personnel offered breakfast which nice of them, but you really need to fix the network issues and get a more resilient infrastructure, or a backup solution (4G card etc.) for clients who really need it. If I had been on vacation it would have been ok but not on a business trip.

Great place to stay

S.stuart Couples - 5/18/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Amazing stay

Kieren M. Couples - 5/17/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel was in a brilliant location at a decent price for where it is (20-minute riverside walk to the west end). The food and drink on offer was excellent quality and reasonably priced (it is London after all but didn't feel much different to our local prices). The room itself was standard ibis layout and has everything you'd' need for a comfortable stay and can't fault that. The jewel in the crown for our stay was Ana on the front desk - her dedication to great customer service was second to none and She is an asset to the place!

Extremely loud

Chiara Business - 5/14/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

There was construction in the next room which made it impossible to hear anything over the noise. Could not conduct any of my meetings properly- had to sit on the toilet cover in the bathroom with the bathroom door closed because that’s the only way I could hear over the phone. To conduct meetings over 5 hours in a closed confined space is completely inappropriate. When I complained they told me they were fully booked and that I should be glad it was only from 11-5pm. Walls are also paper thin- could hear guests and construction workers talking outside the room. No soap in the shower dispenser.

A bit tired, service could be better

Dunbarian 5/8/2022 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is a few years old now and looks a bit tired. However, OK for basic hotel. Normally you'd expect a very good hotel for £135 per night, but I guess this is London's ridiculous rates. Service 1) we arrived about 1hr 45mins before check-in. Rooms were available but we were told we would have to pay £10 early check-in charge for each room. We declined (Motel One a month ago gave us early check in at 10am). If Ibis wants to win customers back then this mean spirited treatment of customers isn't the way to go. 2) I came back at about 5.30pm to check in. My wife and daughter were still out shopping and the assistant on check-in said that I would have to come down to let my wife and daughter in if I took all the keys (can't see why my wife and daughter couldn't have just come straight to the room?). Anyway I agreed to take only one key for one of the rooms and that my wife and daughter would collect the other key when they arrived. However, on arrival, they were told that no more keys would be issued because I already had two keys for one room and one key for the other. Don't know whether this was incompetence or deliberate, but it left an unpleasant feeling. The hotel is conveniently located if you want a basic hotel and don't care about service.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your visit in our hotel. We will use your comments to better our services and hope to see you again very soon. Kind Regards, Guest Experience
