Ibis London Euston - London, United Kingdom 

Great place for getting your head down
Posted: Wed, Jun 04 2008
Hubby and I stayed at the Ibis Euston for one night when we came to London for a Concert with some friends. We had three rooms booked - one for one night and two for two nights. We were in room 6201 on the second floor. The room looked into an inner court yard so it was nice and quiet. We wanted somewhere where could shower, change and go out. It was really easy to get to. Straight off the tube and the hotel is behind the station. Check in was quick and efficient. The rooms were basic and clean and all that we needed - a bed, a TV and a shower! Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, bathroom was clean with a nice big shower pod. There is showergel in a pump system on the wall of the shower and a bar of soap. Didn't need anything else as we took our own toiletries. There was one towel per person to cut back in washing for environmental reasons which is fine by me, but if you want another towel, just ask reception. We had breakfast at the hotel which was cereal, pastries, fruit salad, yoghurts, sausages and bacon turnovers. Nothing out of the ordinary. I would opted for the express checkout as there was quiet a que in the morning. We came back from a day of shopping and showered in our friends room in the otherside of the hotel as they were stayiing for two nights. They had an older room as it had a conventional bathroom, not a pod. But again, it was simple and clean. The lounge area was nice and the bar seemed busy. There is parking at the hotel. We had to pick our car up from North London as it had been in a graphics place and they charge ?15.00 for 24hours in their underground parking which was secure. Ideal! It does exactly what it does on the tin with no frills - just clean and tidy and a place to get your head down.

As good as all ohter IBIS hotels in the world

I have been to several IBIS hotels and this one is as good as the others I used to stay before. Clean and functional rooms with attached bathroom and TV. I stayed 3 nights in room # 225. Breakfast was very good. As I wrote here above, I was not surprised. The hotel is similar to all other IBIS hotels I stayed before. Helpful staff at the reception. I booked more than 1 month in advance via the hotel website and paid for me and for my wife ? 223.95 (? 286,-) breakfast included for 3 nights. This price is not expensive for a city like London which is one of the three most expensive cities in the world as far as hotel booking is concerned (Tokyo and Moscow are more expensive). Hotel is located at 50 m from Euston Underground Station and at 150 m from Euston Square Underground Station. Excellent location for the travellers arriving from Saint Pancras Eurostar Station. Room was quite and clean. Should I go again to this hotel ? Absolutely !

Never again

This property has a great location next to Euston Station. Unfortunately, that is just about the only positive thing I have to say about this property. The lobby is rather deceiving as it is clean, bright, and modern. The hallway to our room was dated and unclean. Our room was alright. The size was fine and the sleeping area was reasonably modern but the bathroom was equipped with only two towels which were quite thin and stained. No amenities were provided save a small bar of hand soap. We were harassed by a hotel employee upon two occasions while returning to the hotel. He questioned whether we were guests both times and was very rude. Another hotel employee entered our home without waiting for us to respond to his brief knock. Furthermore, we had trouble with our bill upon checkout and spent several days upon return to the States working to resolve it. We will not be staying at another Ibis property.
