Very good

Brilliant location for a visit to the O2, lots around the hotel and the staff were very friendly. It was a shame the air con wasn’t working in the room though, as it got pretty toasty in there.
I stayed for two nights as i was competing in the London marathon.
Never stayed in London before but couldn't have picked a better hotel and location.
The hotel is 2 minutes walk walk to the Excel centre where you have to go and collect your running pack to be able to compete.
It's also a 5 minutes walk to the skyline which takes you over the Thames and one at the other side just a 40 minutes walk and your at the start line.
The staff at the hotel couldn't have calmed my nerves any better, they were amazing and even giving free bunches of bananas to any runner staying there.
A big massive shout out goes to Soliman the evening /night door man, so kind and welcoming, such a kind and fantastic person.
I drove from Sheffield and the hotel couldn't have been easier to find with secure parking right underneath.
There is a sister hotel connected to the Ibis and you can share their resturant whilst looking out over the Docklands.
Would i stay there again, most definitely.
Amazing customer service, there were some really lovely petsonal touches in my as they knew I was running the marathon. Including a couple of bananas. Staff were incredibly polite and friendly.
Really enjoyed my stay at the Ibis. Very glad of the ironing board, iron and hairdrier. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent transport links. Very near to LDR and Elizabeth Line. Would definitely stay here again.
5 stars to Stan 👍thanks to him We got a lovely bedroom with a sea view... Nothing was too much trouble. Really enjoyed our stay hopefully we'll be back soon
Fab hotel for short term stay. Decent size room with a good sized shower. All amenities as expected, kettle, tea/coffee etc. Added bonus of a nespresso machine too. Perfect location for the O2. Definitely recommend the cable car to get across the river. Staff were all lovely as well. Will absolutely be booking again for our next concert experience.
Staff at reception were extremely helpful and one young lady in particular was fantastic although I didn’t get her name but she did say that she was about to take an exam. I really hope she passed it. She was friendly, professional and a very helpful.

Disliked: Room comfort
Check in was quick and easy and given information about breakfast and how to get to hotel... beds are really uncomfortable so are the pillows. The breakfast wasn't great not much choice and replacements wasnt very quick. Cleaning up restaurant area was fast though.
Good value for money. Great transport links. It’s only a 5 minute walk from Custom House Station in one direction and another 5 minute walk to the cable cars that take you to the O2 arena. Rooms are clean and fairly spacious though the bathrooms are small.
