I have stayed at many Ibis hotels. They are generally good value for the money and simple. The problem with this stay was the outright false information on the front page about the hotel location. They were nowhere close to the O2 Arena, which had to be accessed with a 10 minute walk to the train station and two different train links- about 30 minutes away in total to be more accurate, and impossible to walk. Based on the page stating they were about 1/2 mile away, that is just a wrong claim as they are not even 1/2 mile away "as a crow flies". There is also no "restaurant" in the hotel, as they claim. There is a good breakfast service, but no actual restaurant. You can get a beer and chips or candy bar after breakfast, but there is no proper restaurant as they claim. You have to go across the street to an Italian place, or a much longer walk into the financial district about 15-20 minutes away for restaurants. Also, the airconditioning system was shut off for the season, so the rooms were stuffy. The staff was very helpful and pleasant and hard-working, which was a saving grace. The hotel is being remodeled which it badly needs, so beware there will be noise all day long. I honestly have no clue how some reviews state this is a "great location", unless by that they meant its pretty remote with nothing really great nearby....
