Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ibis London Excel-Docklands enjoys a great location near the Excel Centre and Custom House station, making it convenient, with easy access to the O2 arena via cable car or tube. The rooms are often described as clean, modern, and comfortable, some even featuring a Nespresso machine. Breakfast is frequently praised for its good value and variety, including gluten-free and non-dairy options; some guests, however, have found the breakfast area crowded during peak hours. Views of the Thames are a highlight for many.

Comfortable Stay with Excellent Transport Links

coffee facilitieslovely touchdirty towels
The AC in the room was a lifesaver. I found tea and coffee facilities available in the room to be convenient. The complimentary cookies were a lovely touch. The location was great, and transport was right on the doorstep to get into the center.
The room was not cleaned after my first night. I found the same dirty towels left every day after nights two and three. I reported it, but no apology was given to me.

the shower floor was seriously slippery , and my husband ended up slipping. he fell pretty hard , landing right on his bum and twisting his foot under the shower door. i was really worried , and he was definitely shaken up. they really should have some slip mats or grab handles in there.
