The hotel is at an awesome location just a little walk from the Thames river, with bus stops in front of the hotel and the underground station right behind the corner. The rooms were exactly as in other Ibis hotels, basic but comfortable and practical, with air conditioning, although the double occupancy room was kinda small. The service went above and beyond, with an amazing can-do attitude and big smiles, without any knocking, and they were excellent in ensuring no one waited too long. The location was fantastic, right by Southwark tube station which is perfect for the Jubilee line, and also a pleasant walk to the Thames and beyond. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of foods to choose from, even though it might be a bit pricey for someone who eats a small breakfast. The facilities were good, plenty of everything was available.

I can't believe they put me on the fifth or sixth floor when I was carrying all my equipment and exhausted. The room was very basic, not somewhere I'd want to spend much time in, a little colder than the rest of the hotel, but it was incredibly clean and spacious.

The hotel is in a great central London location, close to all major tourist attractions. The rooms, though basic, are comfortable and spacious, located at the quiet end of the hall. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, going above and beyond with late check-out excuses. Dining, while well-organized, had disappointing cheap ingredients. The hotel facilities are standard but well-priced for the central location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room had some view of the London Eye, although partly obstructed by other buildings. On the downside, the room was smaller to accommodate the bathroom and had uncomfortable, rock-hard beds and pillows, stained sheets, and an unpleasant bathroom. The service had its shining moment when Jose went above and beyond for us during a very late check-in, but overall, the staff seemed clueless, understaffed, and disorganized. The location was fantastic, especially for exploring London, close to the Underground and key attractions. The dining experience was decent but could be a bit slow at times. Overall, considering the price paid, it was a stay with mixed feelings.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit noisy but had all the basic facilities you would expect in an ibis hotel, although the lack of a view was disappointing. The staff at the reception were incredibly friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to help out with anything I needed. The location was superb, just a short walk from Southwark Underground Station and close to many of the main attractions. However, the dining experience left much to be desired due to limited options and relatively high prices.
