Have given a recent stay here at the Ibis Docklands a 3* "Average" rating -Because it offers a painless stay for not a lot of money when discounted. So paid just under £50 for an overnight stay here and for that you get friendly reception, basic but clean room, aircon/air heating and good double glazing to block outside noise (not sure about how soundproofed the walls were though...).

Simple furnishings, small tv (no freeview!), no in-room safe please note, and I don't know if there was an ice-machine on any of the guest floors or if you had to go down to the bar for ice. Firm but ok bed, a well-designed pre-fab bathroom. Very good water pressure. Very econo-sized towels, and econo-quality toilet paper!

You're not going to be blown away by any aspect of your stay, it's just painless and not hard on your wallet (though I think mid-week stays can be a lot more).

I have stayed here twice; NYE 2009 and NYE 2011. The hotel is in a great location for our trips to the O2 and is quite easy to drive to from our home in Berkshire. I have to say the price is quite high but that's they way it goes on NYE. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful, the decor is modern and the whole hotel is very clean. The rooms are compact, the bed is a good size but the mattress is very thin and the pillows are also very thin and there are only 2! There is tea and coffee and biscuits and a hair dryer. The bathroom is very odd; a small plastic room that is off the floor almost like a public toilet. But water is hot.

Brought tickets to see a show in the west end of London. As we ere going to be driving up to London from Bristol we decided to stay out of the centre due to parking restictions etc.This hotel offers everything we required - nice clean room, all you can eat breakfast (£7.50each) bar where you can purchase meals - car parking @ £7.00 per 24hrs,& a 5miniute walk to Blackwall Docklands light railway where you can purchase tickets to then travel on the underground or on the buses.
