Everything was awesome. Thanks much. It is like my home.
United KingdomStaff were great, so friendly and so very helpful. They went above and beyond and helped me do some printing for an exam I had. Big thanks to the male manager on reception and a lovely Italian lady. The breakfast staff were lovely too and offered a coffee even though I had not booked breakfast. I was upgraded to Novotel as Ibis is shut so cannot vouch for the Ibis rooms. The whole hotel was spotless though.
United KingdomLocation great, easy to find staff were very helpful and despite beibng in a very busy area the room was warm and very quiet. Facilities in the room were good .
United KingdomThe staff was very friendly and accommodating. I had to leave very early for my flight. I didn't get breakfast, but the staff did offer to have some food ready for me before I left. Also had a nice work area in the lobby while I was waiting for my room.
UkraineA standard Ibis town centre hotel. We know exactly what we book and what to expect, no surprises, and we're happy to pay a reasonable price for it. This time we did not book breakfast but we did give it a try and were not disappointed. The location is excellent, only 3 minutes walk from the train station and very convenient for all the bus routes. Friendly and helpful staff for the most part (see exception in "what I didn't like").
CyprusCentral location close to places I visited. The omelette was very good. Friendly and helpful staff too.
QatarThe location was perfect. We are directly on the high street and had access to shops/bars/clubs/food. For the value, the hotel room with clean and well presented. The room was spacious and we liked the quirky decor.
United KingdomModern fixtures, arty elements, cleanliness and value for money.
