The bathroom looked like a pod that was installed into the room. I felt like I was using a port-a-potty. You can see where things were starting to rust because of the material the pod is made from. The television in the room wasn’t working either. The beds weren’t comfortable and the mattress pad kept slipping off.

We were given an accessible room (which we hadn’t asked for) - shower curtain which was dirty and didn’t reach the floor so the bathroom floor was soaking wet. Bed was comfy and aircon good. Hotel seemed tired - we wouldn’t stay again

I was pleasantly surprised by ibis London Blackfriars. The location was perfect for South Bank Centre, just 10 minutes walk away. The bar/restaurant on the ground floor offered excellent value for money, although a few more options for the set menus would have been good. The rooms were basic but perfectly adequate for one night’s stay. The air-con and WiFi worked well, and there were USB ports (both A and C types) at the sockets, etc. Unfortunately the TV didn’t work, and there was just one bath towel per person (no face towels).

Solid stay for a solo, female traveler. Very safe and central to public transit, food, attractions, convenience stores and late night entertainment. TV was a little wonky and sometimes would disconnect from wifi or your device if you were casting. Management did offer to move me to another room but it was a few days into my trip and not a huge priority at that point. Would stay again!
