Situated just steps from a Tube stop in London’s historic center, the three-star Ibis London City offers the reliable service and value we’ve come to expect from the European budget hotel chain, Ibis.

Each of the hotel’s 348 guestrooms comes equipped with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, phone and coffee maker. While these rooms are typical chain hotel fare, they are good-sized (for London) and very clean. Some offer nice views.

The hotel has an elevator. Breakfast is available for an extra charge.

Note: This hotel is now cashless, so come prepared with a debit or credit card for payment.

Location

The Ibis London City is a great base for exploring many of famous attractions. It’s just a 15-minute walk from the Tower Bridge and Tower of London, and about a 20-minute walk from St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern, London Bridge and the Globe Theatre. There’s not a ton of nightlife in this area, but easy Tube access will have you partying in a jiffey.

Tube: The hotel is located just steps from the Aldgate East stop, which provides access to the Circle, District and Hammersmith lines. A few steps farther and you can catch the Metropolitan line at the Aldgate stop.

Location: Central

2.3km to city center

The historic center of London, the City originally corresponded to the Roman settlement of Londinium. There are even fragments of the original London Wall (which dates back to the 2nd Century) surrounding the City of London to this day.

Today, it’s the financial center of London and the UK, and is more or less tied with New York as a global financial hub. Historical sites include St. Paul’s Cathedral, the College of Arms and the Central Criminal Court, affectionately referred to as Old Bailey. Though centrally located, tourists will have to venture outside the area for nightlife and decent food after the suits go home.
