I'm realistic about budget 3 star hotels: I don't expect them to be 4 stars for a less money. The only thing I expect, is a clean room, a good bed and a working shower.
Well, the bed in this Ibis is good.
So far for the good news.
The bad news:
- The toilet smelled like piss. The kind of smell you know from toilet in gas stations: the smell of old piss, due to a long lack of proper cleaning.
- Sticking on the back of my pillow was the chewed-out candy of a former guest.
- When I wanted to shower at 00:30, there as no hot water. Only cold, very cold. I called the frontdesk. They told me they had three previous calls from other guests like this one, and didn't know what was going on. Even for French standards, that's poor service.
- I'm 1.92. I understand there are showers in which I can't stand straight. My girlfriend is 1.66. In my opinion, she should be able to take a shower in a 3 star-hotel while standing. This Ibis-hotel disagrees.
So: if you like sitting in your shower while the cold water comes down on you, you like the smell of piss and you love souvenirs from former guests: this is your hotel.
