Stayed here for the last two nights of a business trip - the hotel I had stayed at the previous week was much much bettter but fully booked (there was an event at the NEC). Despite the cost being almost double the nightly rate of the previous week, the Ibis was nowhere near as good. Room was small, cold and cheerless, but was clean. Shower room was minute, and I endorse the complaints that others have made about the towels. Particularly worrying for a woman travelling alone was the lack of spyhole and safety chain on the door. As others have commented the hotel was noisy, not from outside but from other guests slamming doors and shouting in the corridor. Breakfast was adequate but not good. Door cards didn't work properly requiring trips to reception to be corrected each time.

All in all the standard was acceptable for a budget hotel - but they were not charging budget prices and for the amount my employers were paying was a complete rip off. Will not be back here again!

Have to stay here with work and have never really enjoyed the experience, however it had seemed to be improving lately. Unfortunately it is back to its old ways. Its not yet 8am, and already today there is no hot water, no seats at breakfast (actually there are loads of spaces - just no clear tables), no hot food anyway. More telling is that there has been no apology.

Speaking to reception gets nothing more than a mumble...

I was apprehensive as i normally don't stay in budget hotels with work. This one is right in China town with superb restaurants within easy walking distance. The room was basic but mine was clean, the shower room was also modern and surprisingly good quality. My pet hate is dirty bathrooms, but this one A1 clean. Dont expect huge rooms but they fine for one night. We used meeting rooms next day, which had fab views of Chinese New Year celebrations across the road :)
