ibis Montpellier Sud 3 gwiazdki

This is a lovely ibis, with fully refurbished bedrooms with access to air conditioning. The staff were friendly. However, communication could have been better. On one of the days we stayed, the restaurant was closed, but there was no notice to show this; apart from this, it was a great place to stay, and we enjoyed the three days we visited.

Six of us stayed here before and after a penichette cruise. It’s standard Ibis, at least adequate, although the ground floor corridor is dark, the rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a tram stop a couple of minute’s walk away, from where all parts of the city can be reached. Breakfast was very good, apart from the hot water not being up to making British tea. The bar is nice, but we found the food rather disappointing the first night, my dish was far too salty, a poor choice perhaps. We ate out thereafter. The restaurant is shut on Mondays, and apart from L’Erreur there are only takeaways within walking distance. The public area at the front has desks with electricity points, which we found very useful while waiting before and after check-in. What really gives the place an advantage is how friendly and helpful the staff are, speaking good English: they printed out our boarding passes, summoned a taxi, suggested we have our rooms after checkout time until it arrived, etcetera.

We often stop with our dog at Ibis Hotels. Note that there is nowhere around for the dogs to relieve themselves (not even a small piece of land or grass). The surroundings are very dark and scary at night (no feeling of security). The quality of the hostel is far below the Ibis of the same category (very claustrophobic rooms and old toilets). The night before we did it at the Ibis in Barcelona Cornella and it has no comparison.

Stayed recently for one night. The room was VERY small - I certainly wouldn't have wanted to stay in it for longer. Everything also looked a little tired. Ate at the Grill which is next to the hotel - food there was good. Not a hotel I would use again simply due to the size of the rooms

Arrived quite late and check in was smooth. Had a ground floor room overlooking the carpark and a very busy road so I was expecting it to be noisy. It wasn’t too bad. Bathroom was a bit grim - but it all worked. Breakfast was pricey for the limited options they had - I thought - but all in all it was a brief stay for about £60 ish. If all you want is a bed and a shower then you’ll have no complaints.
