We were given an accessible room - which we hadn't requested. This meant the soundproofing was poor due to a connecting doir with the neighbouring room. The guests in this room made a lot of noise - shouting and banging- from 11.00pm onwards. At 12. 15 am we contacted reception. They were very supportive and said they would check things for us - and get back to us in the morning. This never happened and luckily the shouting stopped around 12.30am. However, we were woken by the same guests at 5am and 7am - due to slamming doors and banging. We have used Ibis Hotels numerous times but this was an exceptionally bad experience which ruined our weekend trip. Had a lone female guest been in the room we used, we feel they would have felt genuinely worried. In addition to these issues, the accessible room itself was very unwelcoming and felt more like a changing room. We will not be using Ibis Blackfriars again when we travel to London.

The hotel itself was very clean and the staff was friendly. However, the bathroom had a very strong smell as if the plumbing was not working correctly. The housekeeping came daily and straightened the room, but would not take any used food containers even when a note was left asking them to remove the containers. The breakfast was very good, even though there was not any variety from day to day.
