The location was excellent. We were close to the major train station and in the centre of the city. However, the room itself was disappointing. It was small, (shower is in the room next to the bed) and not well equipped. We had to ask for two glasses and while there was a fridge and kettle, only coffee making supplies provided. It was reasonable in price.

Accidentally took the lift to the basement, dead cockroaches everywhere. Very noisy due to some drunk couple arguing in the corridor at 2am, no one to call to get it sorted. Shower is actually in the bedroom just behind a curtain. Reading lights didnt work, sink cracked, toilet flush was faulty.

Definitely my favorite IBIS so far, the moment i walked in i was met by a beautiful woman (im so sorry i cannot remember her name but was the clerk on the 01/04 and 03/04) and she was so lovely and UPGRADED me because it was my birthday soon! Clean facilities, very quiet room and was perfect for my early birthday holiday away Its central to everything and so affordable, definitely coming back! Thanks Ibis Team!

For budget hotel it was nice enough but very basic , Lacked any pleasant decor and entry from the street door looked a bit dodgy. Staff very nice. Excellent location.

Excellent staff

I checked in very early and they kindly allowed me to have a room despite the fact that room check in is 2pm. The hotel staff were all very helpful. I'd have liked to have seen extra options listed in the room though, eg: the cost of breakfast, etc. However, I'd happily stay here again.

My room wasn't clean, and it got booked out a second time after I checked in. A random stranger let themselves into my room while I was in bed! Staff were apologetic but offered no compensation. The next night my access card didn't work and had to be reset, and when I explained to the next staff member it might be to do with the previous nights double booking she just laughed. Location was great, and shower pressure excellent, but I didn't feel safe there and wouldn't go back.

The best thing about the hotel is the location. Saddly, I booked a room with a QUEEN SIZE bed and the room they provided had a double bed. When I asked about it they didn’t even bother to check; they just said that “it should be queen”. Not the best customer service, but then again; location’s great.

Small room but appropriate for stay

Room was small but ok for stays where a bed is only needed. Noisy room due to building air conditioner next door building. Location was excellent for city centre access.
