ibis budget London Barking

A little out of the way but affordable and easy to get to and from.

Eveything was brilliant, would definitely go back, staff was amazing and really helpful. Didnt get the name of the woman at the front desk when we got there but she was absolutely amazing was was so helpfull. ✨️✨️✨️

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.

For the cost - good

It was okay and the staffs were cool, just a weird smell in the hallways on the second floor, might be the carpet

I love the place

I love it!🙌it’s peaceful, clean and safe.

Extremely basic, the room had a very strong,spicy smell which also got into the fibre of the towels which had a very strong smell. I think it came from the kitchen as they were making curry meals to order as part of the hotel service. At the side of main route in London so was noisy for the whole time of our stay

It was a hood and chill experience...

Good little hotel especially for the price. Only real issue I had was that there wasn’t enough plugs in the room. Also was a bit noisy from the main road but that was expected considering its location, I just took some ear plugs and was fine.

The shower room smelt horrible as though the drains were backed up and it was disgusting. The tv remote didn’t work so had to get that changed. The bed was uncomfy. The noise from the walls as though someone was running the shower most of the night was unbearable . Even recorded the noise.

Very much budget and there was a clear reason it was cheaper than anywhere else! So I booked it as it would allow 3 adults in the same room instead of forcing us into a second room. It served its purpose but that was it. Would have appreciated a kettle in the room but when I went back and checked the website, it didn’t list the room contents as having a kettle so that was my mistake. Our room cards were temperamental, as was the card slot to give the room lights - we got back to our room late at night and couldn’t get either of our cards to work the lights. Shower very slow to drain and risked flooding the shower room. I’ve been in these kinds of budget rooms before but this just seemed even more budget in nature!

I could not log on to my computer because of low security WIFI. Shower was warm but not hot. Staff v friendly and helpful. I had a ground floor room; awaken two nights by chatter at/ near reception. Little traffic noise.

Simply put, it's exactly what it says it is, budget and it works. so I shall be returning again and again.

Clean and as expected room and building. Suitable for contractors and stop overs.

It was satisfactory. Guests arriving late were quite noisy. The heater in the room need to.explained properly.

Amazing and reliable

Approxiamtely 14 minute walk from the nearest tube Barking. But you can pick up taxis which is a 5 minute drive. Reception service was quick and prompt. Room was compact but clean and tidy. Room soundproof. Although next to main road once window was closed very quiet. Had a good nights sleep. Continential breakfast is available and drinks obtained via reception.

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.
