Barking Apartments

We stayed at Ibis Budget Barking on one of the hottest nights of the year. The air-conditioning worked brilliantly, so we had a much better night than friends who stayed at a much more expensive hotel in central London! We were attending an event at The University of East London SportsDock. It was very easy to get to - just a short walk to the bus stop by Tesco, a 19-minute bus journey which took us very close to the venue - so Ibis Budget Barking is ideal for anyone wanting to go to something in East London. The front of house staff were very courteous and helpful. I have rated this 4 rather than 5 as a kettle ought to be a standard offering in all rooms (in Ibis Budget Portsmouth we had a kettle). But, all in all, an excellent budget location.

The front desk service is warm and standard, and the environment is clean and hygienic. It is about 7 minutes' walk from the nearest subway station. Be careful when the hotel entrance is on a small road, otherwise it is easy to miss

Perfect for a stay based in East London, Premier Inn London Barking gets you close to the key locations. Right next to the north circular (A406/A13 junction) and with free parking, it's a handy base if you're travelling. And with Barking Station just minutes away, you'll also be well connected to the capital's overland and underground networks. Zip into the city for a meeting at Canary Wharf, catch a headline act at the O2 Arena, cheer on your team at West Ham United Football Club, then enjoy a warm welcome back in Barking where you'll find everything you need to recharge the batteries: spacious rooms, a tasty restaurant, and extra-comfy beds.

Access into the hotel after checking in, requires an access card which removes the need for room keys in the lift. Room doors were quite hard to push. Room was clean. Windows open and close with automated switches, but I couldn't figure out how to get the curtains open. Bed was comfortable enough. No mini-fridge but a good blend of teas, the usual coffee sachets and choice of sweeteners. TV was small with tinny audio The bathroom was clean. However, there was a missing circular plug (above the mirror), which given the number of rodents spotted outside in the square, was a bit unnerving. Wires could be seen running, so it must be access for some type of electrics. Sealant was not completely run on the left side of the sink. I would have preferred to have the light switch on the inside of the bathroom, for obvious reasons.

The best hotel I have lodge so far for now in llford very affordable and very good for the price really enjoyed my stay
