IBIS LONDON GREENWICH, London

The hotel sits on a quiet residential street opposite the university, yet is moments from Greenwich's key sights: the Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum, and the historic market are all within a 5-10 minute walk. The Cutty Sark DLR station is a 3-minute walk, providing direct access to Canary Wharf and onward connections to central London via the Jubilee Line (15-20 minutes to the city core). Buses and the river boat service are also close. The O2 Arena is 3 km away (around 40 minutes on foot or a 15-minute bus/taxi ride). Heathrow is reachable via one change at Canary Wharf. The location is a strong practical base for visiting both Greenwich and central attractions without needing a car.

Rooms are clean and functional, with a work desk, soundproofed walls, and an air cooling system (not air conditioning) - during warmer weather, rooms can become warm and opening windows may let in street or kitchen noise. Bathrooms are compact; some have walk-in showers. A kettle with tea and coffee is provided. City or quiet street views are available depending on location. Room sizes are typical for central London, meaning the space is adequate for short stays but may feel tight for families or longer visits. The triple room includes a sofa bed; when extended, floor space is very limited. Some rooms face the car park or are above the restaurant, which can bring noise and food odours. Requesting a room on a higher floor away from these areas helps.

The Banana Tree restaurant provides breakfast from 07:00 to 12:00, featuring a buffet with pastries, yogurts, fruit, hot drinks, and cereals, plus a cooked full English/vegetarian option. Breakfast costs £16 per person. The same restaurant is open for brunch, lunch, and dinner with Asian cuisine (including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free choices). A limited bar at the reception offers drinks and snacks, but drinks purchased in the bar cannot be carried into the lobby due to licensing rules. The location itself has numerous cafés, pubs, and restaurants within a 2-minute walk, providing ample alternatives for meals.

The hotel provides a free billiards table and board games for quiet recreation. There is no pool, gym, or spa. The main leisure value comes from the hotel's location, with Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, and the riverside promenade all within a short walk. The O2 Arena is a 15-minute bus ride away, offering concerts and events.

The hotel offers a 24-hour reception, express check-in/check-out, and free luggage storage. Printed invoices are provided. There is a shared lounge/TV area, and the hotel has a lift serving all floors. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms and public areas, with emergency cords in bathrooms and grab rails. Wi-Fi is free and available throughout. Private parking is located on-site at £25 per 24 hours on a first-come, first-served basis (no reservations). Laundry and dry cleaning are available at an additional charge, and daily housekeeping is included. A safety deposit box is available free of charge. Pets are allowed for £10 per night. The hotel accepts major credit cards but requires a physical card at check-in.
