Room setup and comfort

Rooms are compact at 15 sqm but come with a desk, coffee/tea maker, blackout curtains, and good soundproofing — reviewers consistently note it is quiet despite being next to a busy station. Multiple power sockets are available, and WiFi is included free in all rooms. Note: there is no fridge or in-room safe, and the hotel operates via WhatsApp instead of a room phone.

Atmosphere and guest type

The lobby and ground floor have a relaxed, arty feel with a bar, restaurant (CHILL#08), and café area. Staff are frequently praised as friendly and above and beyond helpful. The hotel draws a mix of business travelers, solo visitors, and groups. It is more social lounge than co-working quiet zone, but rooms themselves are calm and well-insulated.

Food and daily practicalities

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast (English and continental buffet, £13.50 unless included) and dinner, with room service also available. Multiple supermarkets are within a few minutes walk, and a McDonald's and Starbucks are right next door. The hotel also provides luggage storage and a shared kitchen.

Value for money

At significantly below the London hotel average, ibis Canning Town offers clean modern rooms with free WiFi and a desk at a price point that makes longer workation stays financially practical. London City Airport is only 3km away, and Canary Wharf — one of London's main business districts — is directly accessible via the DLR in minutes.

Location

The hotel is directly opposite Canning Town station, which connects to both the Jubilee line and DLR — putting Canary Wharf one stop away and central London within 20–30 minutes. The immediate area has several supermarkets, a pharmacy, cafés, and fast-food options within a few minutes walk. It is not a typical tourist or café-culture neighborhood, but it is very well-connected and functional for daily working life. London City Airport is 3km away.

Final thoughts

ibis London Canning Town is one of the most practical budget options for a workation in London. Clean rooms, a proper desk, strong WiFi, soundproofing, and a direct Jubilee line connection make it a reliable choice for remote workers who want to keep costs low without sacrificing the essentials. Best suited for solo workers or those traveling for business who do not need city-center proximity.

Reviews

Agoda

Comfortable stay

Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was generally clean and had all the essentials. Bed was comfortable, wifi connection was strong and stable, desk was good enough for work. There were also plenty of power sockets for chargers and such. Great location, just across the road from the train station and right next to a supermarket. The bar/restaurant within the hotel serves decent pizza too.

Agoda

Convenient and clean

Right next to the Canning Town tube- which means you have easy access across London, or shopping at Westfield or Lizzy Line two stops up. Very comfy rooms, beds as well. Quiet modern. Cafe area downstairs very nice too for relaxing or breakfast- and good coffee. Would recommend.
