ibis Orléans Centre Gare 3 gwiazdki

I stayed here for 2 nights as it was a convenient place to explore the city and also squeeze in a Paris day trip without the huge prices for many Paris hotels. Being right opposite the station and trains take just over an hour from Paris then fair enough! The hotel was not very exceptional in any way, just a very average Ibis although the breakfast was not bad at all. It wasn't cheap and maybe if I knew the area better I might have come up with a better deal as the city centre itself is really lovely.

just across the street from the railway station, walking distance to the historical center. clean, modern, functional, good beds, very nice and helpful reception. Good breakfast, very good wifi. Whoever complained the rooms are too small: try an Ibis Budget, THOSE are small :-) Clear recommendation.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Staff were really pleasant and helpful. The facilities at the hotel were at the normal standard for an Ibis hotel. We used the hotel for a one night stopover and we would use it again.

I arrived at about 7pm, and was kept waiting in an otherwise empty reception for three or four minutes waiting to be attended. I could see someone sitting at a computer in the office, facing in my direction, but he was really dressed in his casual home attire, not dressed for work, so I assumed he wasn't working on the reception desk. However, after three or four minutes of him watching the computer, he looked up and came to the desk, with no apology, just "I'm listening to you". He handed me the key, did not explain anything about the hotel, did not offer me the complimentary drink that comes with being a silver member, and seemed more interested in getting back to his computer. The room was small but clean and comfortable, the bed was comfortable, and it has its own private car park at the rear of the hotel, for €8 per night. It was no more than a five minute stroll to the city centre. Apart from the poor welcome, it was a pleasant stay.

Rooms are not very spacious. Very hot in the rooms, airconditioning not working. Breakfast was not OK at all. Due to covid-19 measurements, there is no buffet. You need to fill in a document what you would like for breakfast. It is then set up on a table in the morning per room number. Our order was wrong, some things were missing. When I requested what I ordered, at first the breakfast lady was very impolite, but then she came an gave what we asked for. There was only one plate and cutlery for one person on the plateau. Orange juice was out, nobody seemed to look at it to refill. A little bit later, a family of 4 came in. One table for 2 pers, one plateau with one plate, for 4 people! The slices of bread and croissants were 1 heap, all thrown on top of each other. When they asked the lady for help and 3 more plates, she hardly understood any english and didn’t understand what the family was trying to explain. In the end, they just didn’t bother anymore.
