ibis Styles Bremen Altstadt

This Ibis hotel is much like all other Ibis hotels. Modern rooms and a decent breakfast. But this place had all this but it was also very small. The rooms was very small (booked a doubble room). No real place for your bags, bathroom with shower, sink and toilet was extremely narrow. You'd to go sideways to pass the sink to get to the toilet and then sit down diagonaly before slippping you legs straight forward. If you come by car you might have noticed that the place has a indorr garage. Well, they have, but it comes with limitations. Since the cars will stay on elevating platforms, your car can't be higher than 1,50m, max 5m long and a weight of maximuim 2000 kg. Besides this the ramp down is unusually steep and ends in a narrow 90 degree turn before entering the garage. Going up again is an adventure. If you don't like this or have a bigger/heavier car, there are street parking outside. This too is limited since maximum fee and parking time allowed is only 1,5h (4,50€) between 0900-2000, you'll have to visit the parking meter every 1,5h. I also noticed that the staff was extremely careful to mention to all guests parking outside that they really, relly should empty the car and remove all items. Apparently the amount of vandalism and car robberies is high i Bremen.

It was a bit pricey, but could be due to tourist season. Room was good, although missing couple of amenities like cupholder for toothbrush etc. Breakfast was ok, nothing fancy. We were happy and well served considering it is a 2* location and would go there again.

Arrived tired and perplexed to see 3-language sign of “Caution: Weightless Area Beyond this Point” in the lobby. Coming up to the room and seeing the galaxy-carpet and spaceship themed interior was a really nice surprise. And a pancake-making machine and a whole batch af truly smiling eggs made breakfast a big hit! Oh, and make sure to notice the “stolpersteine” (stumbling-stones) on the streets outside. A whole different thing, but so touching, chilling and important not to forget!

I wanted to stay close to the railway station, but this hotel wasn't quite close. Tram 25 was direct from the Central Station to the hotel, and provided as a bonus a trip through the city center. In front of the hotel was a shop with natural and eco products and food. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the wifi was very good. The staff was kind and helpful. We had a medical emergency and had to ask for a 2-hours late checkout, agreed by the staff and charged accordingly. We did not have breakfast. The room did not have any glass or cup, nor coffee facilities.

Clean, nice and spacious room, no door between the rooms. Good shower, bed and duvet. Could have better pillows. Noisy air conditioning but it chilled the room so all good🙂 Near city center and good restaurants.
