Wonderful hotel perfectly located for all transport. Excellent staff and service. Rooms are incredibly comfortable and the bathroom has everything you need for a relaxing staff. Breakfast has a wide selection of foods for every palette and the coffee is exceptional. Will I book again most definitely

First time staying at an Ibis and I was pleasantly surprised. This is a new hotel right opposite Canning Town tube station. I only stayed here for one night but the room was very clean and spacious. I was unfortunately next to the lift but I wasn’t able to hear it during my stay thankfully. Bed was comfortable and the shower a good size with good pressure. Checking in was with a real person who was really friendly and helpful. This looks to be a good spot if you are visiting the O2 or London City Airport. Commute into central London was simple and took around 36mins.

I booked this hotel sadly only for one night. First thing first, the train station and different bus stops are right next to the hotel. Westfield mall and airport are just few stops away. I liked the Reception area with attached bar/cafe. It does have a cool vibe. I requested for a bit early check-in, and the nice guy at the reception helped me out. The room had a personalised welcome note for me which was a lovely touch. Everything was super clean, i had tea kettle with different option of teas and two bottles of water which lets be honest, Not a lot of Ibis hotels in Europe do anymore. I was alone but room would be spacious enough for two people. Thank you and I would definitely stay with you again I had an early flight and DLR line was not open yet but 474 bus will drop me right next to the airport door.

Amazing stay. We visited London to see Abba Voyage. Great location.Only 10 mins by taxi or direct by DLR train station which is across the road from Hotel. Supermarkets, coffee shop and food places on your doorstep. Hotel is spotlessly clean and has a great, chilled vibe. Reception staff are excellent and were very accommodating. A big shout out to Curtis at Reception who was extremely warm, welcoming and helpful. Only slight downfall is the phone reception is not great inside Hotel. Would highly recommend. Great value too.

Stayed one night for a gig at the 02. Great location as directly opposite canning town tube & 1 stop to the venue. Decent size room, with all the facilities you need to freshen up after a night of dancing. Breakfast buffet was fab (veggie options available on request) with hot and cold food both availabile. All staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean environment too. Cosy lobby to relax in and festive decor this time of year a nice touch. Very pleased with my stay.

We came to London for the weekend with family to celebrate our dad's 60th birthday. We were 8 and booked 4 rooms for 2 nights. We were so warmly welcomed and so well looked after by the whole staff. We were all on the 6th floor which was super convenient, and the rooms have absolutely everything you need. The hotel is buzzing with amazing ambiance and good vibes, very well located with the Canning Town station just across, Jubilee line going directly into central London. The restaurant/bar area is very welcoming and makes you want to sit and have a drink. Great pizza btw. The breakfast buffet is also wonderful with a big range for your taste. Overall, I couldn't recommend it enough and a very special mention to Thibaut who made our stay an absolute dream!! We will stay again next time we are in London.

I stayed for an event at the ExCel arena, and the hotel was conveniently located for direct DLR access across the road. The room was large and comfortable and there was little noise. I loved the Nespresso machine and thoughtful touches with the large TV and lovely view across the Thames. All the team members I spoke to were professional and interested. Special mention to Thibault who checked me out, as he was wonderfully awake and offered, amongst other things, to hold my suitcase for me before travelling back home. Breakfast was hot and fresh and I had no issues with the choices on offer. Everyone was super relaxed and the evening atmosphere in the bar was friendly. There were ever some boardgames on offer to play in the evenings. Check out being at 12pm was also a nice surprise and allowed me a short nap before heading home! Area itself is great with several restaurants and coffee shops nearby, as well as two large supermarkets. Quiet on the whole and I took a walk around in the evening and felt it was a nice area, although not a lot to do outside of food. But when you're there for business, it is all that is needed.

Booked at short notice as needed to attend conference in London Excel. Ideal location for that and a beer reasonable price. Had everything needed for a short stay. Food was good, breakfast had more than enough and the bar had a good selection. The room was basic but all I needed. Facilities were great
