ibis Styles Chalon-sur-Saône 3 gwiazdki

I have been saying with the Accor Group of hotels for over 40 years and I have to say this one is right at the bottom of the pile with very few positives . The main positives are the shower and hard working lady at breakfast Location is in the middle of a commercial park with a huge factory view from the back of the hotel , where our room was . Lights on all night Triple glazing so no road noise thankfully . A hypermarket is ten minutes walk away . As is the bus stop with the No3 taking you into town . The welcome was not the best . Despite silver Accor group membership , which normally means a complimentary drink ,we where advised the hotel offered complimentary water fountain ?! It’s not about the drink it’s the lack of acknowledgment. We where then advised the restaurant was closed only when I asked can we make a reservation , not ideal when there is so little nearby except a Bar grill . Which offers average food for a reasonable price to be honest but not what I expected . Again despite being booked for over 9 months , no advise email to say restaurant closed was sent The room was fine except for weird smell , stale smoke I suspect . The towels where very thin but the bed nice and comfy and as mentioned the shower great . As with all the Accor group toiletries have been massively down graded with ‘one for all ‘ approach from a dispenser . Bar service was non existent unless you wanted to order via a QR code , which ironically offered full restaurant service despite restaurant being closed . Half the wines where out of stock and the prices buried so deep in the scrolling we gave up and went to our room. No complimentary hot drinks in reception as with many Ibis Styles and no machines in room , so bring a kettle and own coffee … Staff seemed non plussed in offering local advise , when we enquired about buses the chap seemed surprised , he said he could offer us cabs ?! 1.35€ into town and 20 minutes journey is perfect on the bus by the way 👍🏼 Breakfast was poor with very little choices except serial and a few pasteries , cheese and bread . Cereal and poor fruit . Sliced bread would have helped of even boiled eggs . Not the hook it used to be with Ibis Styles .

Ideally situated, minutes from the main road. Clean, tidy and modern, and plenty of parking, and there is a bar and restaurant. Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was fine, but we had dinner on arrival and it was poor and expensive. Set in commercial outskirts, so restaurants nearby. Would stay again for a stopover but would bring something to eat for the evening.

We stopped here on our way from the Alps to Calais. Location is really handy to the motorway. We chose this above the budget or other ibis as it had the restaurant in-house and we wanted the convenience. None of the meal options catered for gluten or dairy intolerances, so we ended up with a packet of crisps we had brought along. Really disappointed and hungry. Breakfast was included but similar issue. It did mean we got a start on the journey early the following day, as we were starving.

A old old hotel located near round about coming from motorway exit to city, near a supermarket and a plant producing glass bottles!!!! No way to keep windows opened!!!! A so so welcome when you booked 2 rooms on quite side not close to each other, 6 weeks before and the receptionist gives you 2 rooms sticked, front face hotel to the main way and plant and tells you that climatisation is broken and do not want to change you rooms because now he is full!!! at 10pm!!! and even does not give you water for free!!! Bast..d!!! We almost did not sleep!!!! Breakfast organisation was a pure bord..l!!! Nothing organized properly with a poor asian waiter running everywhere when a french one not mooving.... A mess Never ever in this called hotel which is just a chicken cage!!!

For a few nights just sleeping is okay. Food can be better for the price they ask. In the middle of the industry and not much to do in this area. Some fast food restaurants and a supermarket are around the corner on 10 min walking distance
