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.

Only things that I wasn't so keen on was the fluffy pillows, as I prefer a firm one where my head doesn't sink, and the bathroom being a unit with a step which I forgot about about in the middle of the night!

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.

I know it's a budget hotel line but I still think the following was unacceptable. The floor is an easy-to-clean linoleum sort of material. No bath mats are provided by default and you have to ask at reception if you want one. The problem is you don't really discover this until it's too late, as the sign is just outside the shower. The first time I took a shower my foot shot across the floor. Luckily I caught myself but I could easily have been hurt. Put the bath mats in my default! Aside from this the staff had to come to the room at one point as no power was going to the sockets, and the towels were not replaced, just taken away, when I left them on the shower floor as instructed.

We arrived early and staff were helpful with our bags so we could go off and explore. Checked in later on and it was straightforward and quick. Room basic but clean and had most things we needed. Breakfast had a good variety and quite reasonable at £13 each. All members of staff were very helpful and location was ideal. We would stay again!

Bathroom didn't have a very pleasant smell (no fan in there) but we presumed it was because it was old. The light switches but gave us a giggle on how to switch them off whilst in bed (to be fair, it does have a label on the main switch stating that one switch controlled all)

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.

Room would have become too warm should.i have not left the window open all night. Otherwise perfect.

As we know, London is expensive. Ibis Blackfriars is really affordable and has a great location. It is near the tube station Southwark and a couple minutes away from the Globe Theatre, Tate gallery and One Blackfriars. The rooms are astonshingly big and the personnel is helpful and nice. Breakfast is great, you can have really everything. Also the hotel is well organized!

Great location with friendly helpful staff. Straight forward check in and out. Met all the basic needs to explore the city decent size room and enclosed bathroom. Very clean, well decorated, comfortable and reasonably priced being in close proximity to the main sites in central London. Easy to get to the main attractions via tube, with Southwark station very very close, with some great restaurants nearby and walking distance to Waterloo & Golden Jubilee bridge. Great value for money for a base to explore and a quiet comfortable place to stay.

Nothing very good value for money Only point that was minor was the Tv was a bit clunky to work and channels not tuned but not an issue to cause complaint.

Rooms are the typical IBIS style, well equipped and clean. Close to Southwark and Waterloo underground stations however we preferred to see the surroundings and walk towards certain places of interest. Managed to do a nice walk towards, the London eye, big ben and house of parliament, st james park and Buckingham palace. It was also a nice walk towards tower bridge and tower of London, great location overall. The restaurants in the area are great, from budget friendly to fine dining.

For the price paid i believe that the breakfast should have been included however, the great location made up for it.

The staff were friendly and attentive - I was served very quickly at the restaurant when I had my evening meal. Since I checked in late, I also really liked the fact there was a restaurant and bar with a wide choice of refreshments. My room was clean and quiet (I had requested a quiet room) and the bed was comfortable, giving me a good night's sleep.

The room was generally comfortable, but having a carpeted floor would have given a slightly more welcoming feel. The shower did tend to allow water to escape the cubicle.

The hotel was actually better than I thought it was going to be. The room was a bit sparse but actually it worked really well. The bed was very comfortable, the air conditioning worked really well and the shower was good. It was also very quiet, which was amazing given the location. We had the buffet breakfast which was really extensive. Very handy to a couple of tube stations and close to Southwark which had loads of restaurants and pubs.

It was all good - although the bathroom felt a bit strange.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything looked modern and new and I felt right at home. I really enjoyed having housekeeping every day as many other hotels don't offer this anymore. I also liked the city view.

No bottled water in the room and no fridge. That would be the biggest reason for me going somewhere else next time. Also, having the clothes rack right in front of the window makes it hard to get to.
