ibis budget London Barking

"From what I gathered from the interior and appearance, it was rather unique amongst budget hotels, which was it had a reception with a pantry area that offered hot drinks and a microwave which was a welcoming apparatus as food can be heated up and consumed in your room or in the setting place. It has an outside setting area as well, which I found to be a novelty. All-in-all, a unique budget hotel with nice amenities."

"Clean and affordable but the best thing about this place is the hospitality. Mehwish was sweet, accommodating and just a top notch employee. Would absolutely stay again simply based on her hospitality. 5 stars!"

"I had a good stay. staff very friendly. Room were clean and tidy ,fresh towels every day. Enjoyed my stay here with Ibis Barking."

"For a budget - it was lacking We’ve stayed in Ibis budget and non-budget hotels before, and ultimately a lot of the experience could’ve been just so much better with a little more care, funding, and better customer service. This visit was just not reminiscent of other visits to other Ibis budget hotels. There was a lack of coffee / tea making facilities within the rooms, despite having more than enough space for this. What made this worse is that over the course of 4 days, the coffee machine in the building was out of order for the entirety of the stay. I’ve stayed in hotels without this before, but for the reasons of a genuine lack of space - this just seems like a rather cheap penny saving scheme by Ibis despite the fact that ‘kettles are available on request’… just have them in the room by default, that way if guests have to go 4 mornings without this, they can do so in the comfort of their rooms. The beds in the rooms were comfy though, so no complaints there. Just a shame that no extra pillows were stocked / kept at reception for individuals that prefer two, especially considering there are no headboards in the rooms. Air conditioning was a great extra - worked brilliantly throughout the stay. Power sockets are extremely limited (two underneath the TV) with none being at the bedside for charging phones. Again, it’s 2022 - people have devices, please consider adding more near the bed. Bathroom was very nice, kept very clean by the cleaners, although loo roll was not replenished at all at any point. Just a very unfortunate lack of not-so-luxury necessities which really don’t justify this being a ‘budget’ hotel - just comes across as being stingy. End of the day, you’re in London - paying London rates, the premier Inn next door charges a surprisingly similar rate for most nights, and at least with them you’d get consistency."

"As a budget hotel, you get what you expect, but the staff here were Fantastic! Stayed for 3 weeks Monday to Friday for 4 of us due to work. Rarely made breakfast but more than adequate for a budget hotel! The rooms were comfy and I slept very well! They provide a snack and bar service at reception and also allow u to eat takeaways in the seating reception area and provide a microwave for guests to use which finishing work at 4am is fantastic! Unfortunately our last weeks booking was changed to the Ibis 2 buildings away and had a terrible stay! Myself and colleagues would have rather stayed here! Thanks again for a great stay and your politeness, Ibis budget barking 10 times better customer care than the other Ibis!"
