Very basic and I can say really on budget. I have booked this hotel accidentally and to be honest is okay-ish for 1 night stay if you are despare. Is clean and safe but nothing really special. Place have purpose - depending on what you need it for.
Room small, no aircon ( fan instead), breakfast buffet really basic - without hot beverages ( not really worth the money).
Staff are good and polite.

Very few amenities. It's a budget hotel, so my expectations were low to begin with but, this place is an amazing deal. Super low rates, very clean and quiet, until a bus load of noisy, unruly French teenagers arrived. But, all in all an incredible value and stay if you're not looking for the aforementioned amenities.

Before travelling I emailed to confirm that there were electric charging points at the hotel, I was informed they had charging points. What I wasn’t told was that 5 coaches would be parked in front of them for the duration of my stay. I had to pay £10 per day for parking and had to use the charging station at the petrol station. I chose this hotel based on the availability of charging units. I will not be using this hotel again. Not even a kettle in the room to make a brew!

When we put the hanger on the door stating they could come in I had only expected the towels to get changed and the bathroom cleaned. They not only did that but made sure the entire room was cleaned. I also loved the fact they had food available for purchase in addition to snacks/drinks. The towels were full size almost beach towel like and very plush.

Cons:
Not enough plugs in the room/no plugs near the head of the bed. The shower only had half of a glass wall with no way to close up the other side when you are in there. This cause water to get onto the main floor. There were also no wash cloths or hair conditioner. Thankfully I travel with my own.

When we turned up there was a group of people wearing balaclavas outside - they looked like they had come on holiday over the water!! It was so intimidating. The room was tiny - not an issue but it felt and looked dirty. The bathroom smelt of drains and my daughter refused to use it. The experience was so bad we went to the Premier inn next door and paid again. My family did not feel safe and that’s what you want when you are away.

The hotel next door advised they get many people booking due to the bad conditions and unsafe feeling from the Ibis…..

Not great unfortunately

Ok I get you get what you pay for and I’m fully on board with this but this hotel fell far below my expectations. Room is basic, but ample for what you pay for it. The problem is the awful sewage smell as soon as you put the tap on that you could also smell in the bathroom and corridor - this isn’t normal and really needs addressing. Shower didn’t actually turn on, the tap was completely stuck. Stood there in my pyjamas at 8 in the morning I had no choice but to use brutal force, turned it on to a dribble at best. Managed a “shower” but then no way of turning the thing off. This would’ve been checked when the cleaner last cleaned the shower so how they allowed for the room to be made available for guests is beyond me. Yes you get what you pay for but I’d highly recommend another budget chain.
Recommendation for hotel - can we please normalise discreetly informing check in guests of their room number. Arrived just before midnight on my own with my 10 year old (I’m female) and announced my room number in front of another guest which made me really uncomfortable

This is a very good budget hotel. Room and bathroom was spacious. Plenty of towels provided. Complimentary water bottle and cookies.

Room also provides portal heater and fan which is very important to allow guests to adjust their own ideal room temp.

Only issue is the area, Barking is too far from Central London. The lighting in rooms is very poor and dim. There are no ceilings lights which is bad for the vision. My portable desk lamp provides more light than the hotel room lights.

Overall it is a very good budget hotel and room.

Its just ok

It was a budget hotel so it was fine for just sleeping in but we had 2 triple rooms and there was only 2 plug sockets in the whole room (and in the corner of the room ) not by bedside or even by a mirror for doing hair etc.
Also claims to be air conditioned...absolutely isnt. Theres a fan (which then takes up one of the two plug sockets) that barely even works, might as well just blow on yourself.
We also found that despite website saying 6 minutes away from the Excel it was actually 15 minutes drive away so cost us double in uber costs so ended up having to spend over £80 on 4 ubers !

The staff and cleaners were lovely, room was very clean.
Was disappointed on entering our room to see how small and little space there was to move, I banged my head 3 times on the top bunk over our bed and I'm only 5ft2 we didn't need the top bunk but it didn't give me any other options to pick without. The window barely opened and the room was so hot even though we were at the back of the hotel out of the sun it was so hot in the room and the plug in fan really didn't help much. After travelling all the way there I was so disappointed not to be able to make a cup of tea in our room and really didn't like using the hotel tea bags or milk downstairs as didn't taste very nice I prefer Pg tips and was disappointed at £2 for a cup of tea was very expensive when I could get a Costa tea from the Tesco round the corner (which still wasn't very nice either) for £1.50.
Was too worried to order from the hotel any food as was the same Currys which makes me question if it's fresh cooked. So ordered from out.

Basic but just right

The budget ideas is incredibly basic. It has a bed, a shower, a toilet, and a television and it's not much more that you need in general.
It's only lacking a kettle, but hot water can be provided from the coffee machine on the ground floor.
The room was incredibly spotless very well presented with a very nice shower room and toilet The only issue is that the walls are quite thin
we had a triple room with a double bed and a bunk bed over the top and it was suitable for our needs and you don't really need much more. It is highly recommended.

We only recommend the breakfast if Ur dietary requirements are restricted as it basic bread lunch meats yogurts muslie.

Stayed in room 121, bathroom, smelled like sewage. The radiator in the room bleeped all day and night, even after turning it off at the source. The two plug sockets were some how loose, so anything plugged in would constantly turn off without being touched. Pillows had next to no padding, cleaners came in on the second day, made the bed, exchanged towels and left the rubbish on the floor? Would have taken out rubbish ourselves if the bins had size to take the size/amount. Finally, asked to use an iron, was told there was a room with an iron in it, the iron was dirty, left marks on the one shirt I attempted to iron, on a board not even fit for a child as it was that small. I wear a size 16.5 shirt and even the sleeve of the shirt was longer than the board. Never seen facilities like that in a hotel, I understand its called Ibis budget, but this is not what anyone should expect at a hotel, let alone in London. Not looking for a refund or even an apology, just felt compelled to leave a review.
