Car park was very poorly signed especially as the road network is difficult. Receptionist was not that friendly or helpful. The restaurant food was good and the waiters efficient.

It's OK when you stop for a night, but not as good as many other IBIS locations we stayed. The most annoying was missing easily an underground parking before the hotel. then you need to drive around (one ways streets) to get to the parking that is very tight for a regular car.

Nice staff

It was our second stay at this hotel. I"d like to particularly commend the person helping with breakfast on 12/26 (sorry I did not get her name but as someone who previously worked in hotel management I think it is important to recognize employees going the extra mile). She was very upbeat and efficient and I observed her being incredibly helpful and kind with a couple of elderly persons staying in the hotel.

Recently refurbished communal areas, standard pre fab ibis. Breakfast good, secure parking. Easy walk over the bridge to the main part of the city. If the price is fair a perfectly good base for a few nights

Nice surprise

Wasn’t expecting such a good trip to be honest. The hotel however was far better than anticipated. Nice central location with car parking underground. Rooms spacious at price point, comfortable bed and very clean and tidy. Maybe if I was picky a kettle for tea coffee would have been nice but that is being very picky. Service on arrival super; during stay super; at checkout and organising taxi and so on - fab. Breakfast was plentiful and restocked quickly be a very nice team. Very impressive I’ll be back. merci beaucoup
