ibis budget London Barking

The heating in the room didn't work. When I informed staff they were very nonchalant about it.

Me and My wife stayed here for three nights. The rooms very small and few facilities, you can hardly move around in the room It’s very far from the city center for commuting, even about 20 minutes from the bus or train stations. The first day we came for breakfast, they asked us which room we were in and then said that you do not have breakfast, if we had a free breakfast voucher, we informed them that she was not polite and said that this had nothing to do with me and that it was a system problem. You can answer with good literature but she was just arguing and this is not logical. In the end, you can have better options.

The property says budget, but it is not budget friendly. Smelly corridors , dinning area is small and inconvenient. Staffs are not friendly.

It's a pretty depressing hotel. Our room absolutely stank of cigarette smoke which wouldn't clear even when we left the window open (as far as it would open, at least, which was minimal). The bedding was also pretty poor. The only good thing was the bathroom which was fairly nice and modern. The lift and decor outside our room were decrepit. Wouldn't trust any of the catering. To top it all off, when we tried to claim compensation for the cigarette smell etc, it was refused.

This was a business trip and given it was simply a place to sleep as I was being collected and dropped off every day it’s still considering it’s in the middle of nowhere with fairly awful links and as simple as you expect for the very good price

Budget stay with car parking extra and no kettle in the room 😩

I chose this hotel from 2 I was reviewing. Looked through all the info and photos on Expedia. It looked good for the price and had free parking and breakfast. In reality when we arrived it couldn’t have been more the opposite. Arriving mid evening after a long drive the address took us to the wrong hotel as there were 2 different IBIS hotels? The rooms were like prison cells, freezing, noisy, uncomfortable. Only 2 plug sockets no tea and coffee facilities no hairdryer. The noise from the busy road felt like the window was open! The 2 vent air conditioning machine pumped out tepid air which was said to be 25 degrees! The receptionist was friendly and helpful but didn’t come to check the heating instead gave us stand alone fans but they were cooling fans so useless! Kept having problems with the door key for one of the rooms so couldn’t get in when one of our young family was sleeping. I was charged for parking my car!! The bathroom smelt of sewage! The final nail in the coffin was the insult that was breakfast. All that was available was a dire selection of cereal some bread cheese and ham. The toaster machine wasn’t even working so there was one small toaster for all in the hotel to use. No cooked food to be seen. Very disappointed would not recommend this stay.

Very expensive for what it is. A hotel near big Tesco and not much else. Area around hotel is a crime hot spot. Breakfast pathetic, not even an egg! Avoid at all costs, as title suggests you do not get a kettle.

Got up in the morning to find no water in bathroom i had an interview to attend and was unable to shave, desk staff very unhelpfull

It was absolutely amazing loved the staff and the stay would come back

Everything

Average experience but what I expected. Staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel room was clean, and breakfast was perfectly standard, but the bed was uncomfortable to sleep on and the room very cold even with heating.

The room was clean and comfortable. The room was a bit cold. The downstairs toilet with the sliding door was broken and not fit for purpose. Polite staff, I had a nice time

The location Walking distance to the station, shops nearby.Clean and new

Good

I given booking for different area but I received confirmation for other area which I didn't expect and did not booked. Also, very low class service hotel which I got.

For the price point it was perfect for my trip spent 6 nights there and I really enjoyed it

Very clean property and friendly staff. Room was quite warm and only two plugs, on of which had to be used for the fan to cool the room, could do with more plug sockets.

Very basic accommodation. Clean and has parking. Staff was professional. However, it shouldn't cost that much.

No facilities for tea, coffee or water.
