ibis London Canning Town

Great location, directly beside jubilee line, so lots of tourist sights were very accessible. Very easy and cheap to get to Gatwick airport via London Bridge express train. Spotlessly clean rooms, brand new building, great price and downstairs has a lovely coffee shop and bar. We had a gorgeous view of the city from our room on 8th floor. I would stay again and recommend to anyone. Also there's a lovely Lebanese bistro across the path with friendly staff.

My credit card does not have my name on it as I live in a country without Roman alphabet, the lady checking us in said she needed my name on my bank card despite the card having the same last 4 digits as on her information and I had 5 forms of ID with my English name on it. She overlooked it at the end, but never informed me that it was ok and made me uncomfortable and unsure I could check in ok. Everything else was amazing and have no complaints, just maybe customer service could be more flexible and think about possibilities of international guests not having the same exact format of bank cards as British guests? Especially when I had other forms of ID and my cards digits matched my info. She may have been afraid to get in trouble with above and under pressure if she checked someone in without XYZ criteria, so maybe the check in rules should be more open.

Great value for London. Amazing breakfast and very friendly and accommodating staff
