ibis Styles Tours Centre

Nuit en solo dans une grande chambre atypique au 7e étage : j’ai très bien dormi !

The hotel was easy to find, Sebastian gave us very friendly and helpful reception and we had a choice of two hotel car parks, 10 Euro; I chose the open air one as it is easier to enter. We like Ibis Styles hotels, this our 4th within a few months, as they offer good quality accommodation at a reasonable price, without any frills but with everything we need. This one seemed to be somewhat older than the others we have experienced and felt a little 'tired' and in need of some 'tlc'. It is not in a very good area and we were grateful for the hotel car park. To find somewhere to eat, other than fast food and fried chicken places, we had a brisk 20 minute walk towards the Hotel de Ville. Breakfast was fine but, as there were very few guests, there were no cooked dishes; there was an egg boiler. The staff were all pleasant and friendly but I don't think that we would stay again.

Staff were brilliant and spoke excellent English even though I did try to speak French! Confusing instructions on ********** re. parking which ask you to phone and reserve and when I rang the hotel, they told me we don't have to ring and reserve parking, just turn up. A bit difficult to know here the Ibis car park is and how to get into it, as there is a ground floor open air one and then a basement one which both look a bit narrow to get into. We double-parked and went into ask and I spoke to a really helpful young man on reception who told us what to do to open the barrier and were able to find a space in the open air car park. One member of staff, Fatoumata, deserves special mention. She went above and beyond to help me when I gave a complicated request to try and track down some perfume I wanted to buy for my mother which she had bought on a previous trip at a visitor centre for a chateau. She rang the property and waited patiently for about 20mins for them to answer. She finally spoke to someone in the gift shop for me to enquire about the perfume - as it was complicated I couldn't have managed with my standard of French language! It saved us driving out there 40mins to find out they no longer sold the perfume so I am so grateful she went above and beyond to help with my slightly odd request. Went to the restaurant around the corner Au Coin Gourmand - fantastic and wonderful steak with super wine. We felt the Ibis restaurant a little pricy for the food on offer.

Arrived late to the facility and seemed like a dangerous area. The mattress was a little uncomfortable but the breakfast and price made the stay an ok one.
