Stayed in this Ibis after a lomg day shopping in the nearby Westfield. Check in was quick, and the staff member on the desk was polite and friendly. We only needed a room for one night so decided to go to the Ibis under the assumption that it would be a basic clean room from a chain hotel, so you know what your getting.
Well, we thought we did. We were put into room 320, which is apparently a disability room. Not disabled, but no problem. The room was as bare as a prison cell. It had a bed, a desk, a tiny wardrobe section and thats it. There was a lot of empty floor space like a sofa or something had been removed.
The shower room was rusty and dated. The tap constantly ran in the bathroom, and not just a drip but a constant stream. The toilet looked like it was half hanging off the wall, and there was no sink space to store anything. There was a utility cupboard door that wouldnt close, and a few bugs in the room itself.
The walls are paper thin with people coming and going most of the night, and the streets outside are lively as expected being in London so you cant really sleep with window open. Wouldnt be a problem but the air conditioning didnt work.
Honestly it gets 1 star purely because it was four walls and a roof, but everything else could be improved. Not expecting a 5* stay but I didnt realise Ibis standards were so low.
