Ibis Bordeaux Merignac

Very small room and bathroom, even for the standards of an Ibis-hotel.Receptionist not very welcoming despite our loyalty membership. No room on upper-floor. Room with view on parking-lot, everyone good look inside walking by. Door in hallway bumped with hard noise; very disturbing during the night. No welcomes-drink was offered. We had to ask for it.

Booked this hotel because of its proximity to Bordeaux airport and a reasonable long term parking deal, given that our absence would span almost 8 weeks. The room was compact, not much storage space for 4 suitcases and 2 cabin bags, plus very narrow bedroom door made getting the bags in and out a bit of a hassle. Overall would say it did the job without being outstanding, hence the 3 star review.

We arrived at 10pm after travelling all day expecting to be able to eat and sleep but the restaurant no longer does meals other than breakfast. We were given a small bowl of olives! Had hot “cold” water in my room.

An interesting place as the bedrooms are small and basic even compared to some of the london cheap hotels. Very clean and quite so can not complain. Reception and breakfast were also fine with what you need. Getting there from the airport is ok and free on a hotel bus . You need to phone the number next to the bus pick up point. Possibly due to time of night the bus took a long time to come. There are two other airport Ibis hotels so make sure you go to the correct one.

We took 2 rooms with a connection door. The rooms were clean but tiny. Very simple but the t.v was big. The bathroom Lso clean and renewed. Breakfast was served from 4.30 a.m and was good enough: fresh orange juice, all kinds of cofee and hot choclate, cruasons, breads, butter, jam and boiled eggs. 5 minutes drive to the airport.
