Newly crafted, the property features vibrant panels in the hallways, photo posters of tennis players, and conveniently distributed electrical outlets. Our room, offering basic amenities, was snug, immaculate, and well-kept. The hotel's restaurant presented an extensive selection of breakfast foods. Additionally, the shower's water pressure was superb. Nestled in a diverse section of East London, the location is excellently served by public transport, providing easy access to the city's other areas. P.S. It's a good thing that the beds could be separated because my father snores like a sawmill! The last thing I want is his warm breath on my neck. Yikes!

The property is great in terms of value-for-money in such an expensive city as London. It feels more like student dorms than a hotel but there's nothing to complain about in terms of cleanliness or facilities. The room was fairly small for two persons but it serves the purpose of having a good night's sleep. There's no space for a wardrobe or something like that but they could've installed a couple of shelves or clothes hangers on the wall. The bathroom, on the other hand, was spacious. In terms of location, it's far in the east of London, but Barking station is 10-minute walk away, from which you can take the district line directly to central London (ca. 30-minute ride) or an overground train to Stratford station, which is well connected with the many other locations in London including Stansted airport.

Not enough shelves/hangers to put your clothes

Stayed in Ibis Budget 4 times so experienced a variety of rooms - for 2 and 3 people. All were clean and fresh. 2 singles were the smallest but perfectly fine for a couple of days. triple room had a double and bunk bed. As I was with my son that was good for us both. Strangely was also put in the triple disabled room at one point, so can verify it has lots of space for wheelchair users moving around the room. A double bed and single, with ensuite shower with a pull-down wall seat. Staff were very helpful and tried to let me into the room as soon as they could (I arrived before check-in time). They also helped book taxis. Very friendly lot.

No hairdryer. Wasn't aware of this at booking. Got a bit stuffy in the evening and couldn't really open the windows if in a front-facing room due to traffic noise.

The air conditioning was perfect, especially considering we had a long day out in the sun and needed to cool off. I also appreciated the checkout time (12 noon) rather than the usual 10-11am check out time. Gave my partner and I plenty of time to wake up, get ready, pack and leave.

Getting to the location on foot with a small suitcase was a little inconvenient. The hotel is at least a 15minute walk from Barking Station, and at some points you have to cross uneven pavements. Additionally, it's important not to get confused with the other ibis hotel that's closer to the station (and where the front-desk staff have a poor attitude, when I mistakenly went into it thinking I was booking in at the right hotel).

The property was clean and comfortable. Our room with twin beds was spotless and cosy. The television was great to have. The shower was hot and had good power.

There wasn’t too much I didn’t like although they could probably do with having more than one microwave - looking at the queue of young people waiting for it on our first evening. The corridor on the first floor had a very bad smell when we arrived but this seemed to dissipate so maybe it was just something that happened on the day.

Very tidy and clean. Comfortable beds. Good showers. Staff are warm and friendly.

1. The twin bedded rooms face the main road; traffic noise can be a bit of an issue at night if you are a light sleeper. We had to change one of our two rooms to a double that was not facing the road, staff were kind enough to accommodate it. 2. Needed an iron to press the clothes. Was unavailable. These are though relatively minor issues, would not stop us from wanting to go back.

The facilities are kind of clean, functional, effective and that is exactly what you are paying for. They do absolutely and reliably what they should and that makes this excellent value for money. If that's not your "thing" pay more somewhere else. The thing about this Ibis Budget is how outstandingly good the staff are...there's nothing budget about that at all. Polite, friendly, exceedingly helpful. I stay in endless hotels with my work and the staff here during my stay were the equal of any I have encountered.

Perhaps a bit more gluten free options at breakfast (my wife is GF), but the staff were so helpful dashing off to find some GF rolls in a neighboring hotel that it would be churlish to suggest that this in any way marred our stay.

The staff was super friendly. Rooms are small but very clean and matress super comfortable. It was very quiet even tho hotel is close to the motorway the rooms are well insulated and sound proof. Next to the hotel there is a Tesco Superstore where you can buy food. You can walk from Barking station but i would recommend to take a Uber or taxi, its only £7. However, in the mornings Uber seems to be much more expensive and we would recommend to take a local taxi to the station. If you take train or taxi to the Barking Riverside you are able to take the Uber boat Ferry into the city centre which is an amazing experience and can only recommend. We definetly would stay here again for this price.

the room was small but a good size for one or two people, the bed was comfy and the bathroom and shower facilities were excellent. staff were very lovely and pleasant to talk to and noise was minimum

the breakfast lacked options (such as cereal variety and gluten free/allergen friendly foods) and was on the pricey side for what was available, but enjoyable nonetheless. drinks options were very good and the yogurt was nice.

Very easy to check very spacious rooms the bathrooms are to die for all brand new with power showers one of best I've used for a long to be honest had perfect air-conditioning which was needed due to heat the only little thaw I got was the breakfasts I ordered wasn't no hot options just pastrys cold ham cheese a couple of cereals and bread and yoghurt but didn't ruin the stay what so ever I couldn't recommend this hotel enough I will be back thank you for a lovely stay
