ibis Chalon Sur Saone Europe Hotel 3 stars

This is a nice Ibis hotel near the autoroute. I stayed there for an overnight stop when driving between Spain and the UK. The staff were very peasant, the room comfortable (I slept really well) and the location convenient. The one flaw is that I checked in at around 20:50 and when I got to the restaurant a couple of minutes after 21:00, I was told that the kitchen was closed. It wasn't even possible to get me a snack. The location of this hotel makes it basically a motel. Lots of drivers stop their day of driving at about this time. Failing to provide food and a beer on site is too early. There was a slight communication problem, as I'm embarrassed to say that my French is very limited. I eventually worked out that the restaurant in the other Ibis hotel just a few minutes' walk away was still open, so I managed to get something there. Having been in Spain the week before, where nobody seems to even think of going for dinner before 21:00, closing the kitchen in a motel at 21:00 seems very early to me and not really very considerate of the needs of international travellers. Even if the full menu is not available, it ought to be possible to provide guests with a croque monsieur and a beer until quite late into the night.

This Ibis is one of many we have stayed in over the last two years. It is one of the best and are providing all of the Covid safeguards we would expect. Well run with friendly efficient staff

overall positive, one thing missing, however, a tv- channel guide

Even in these difficult times with the corona pandemic, this ibis hotel makes the very best out of it. Great effort, extremely well organised: chappau!

Hotel easy to find, good reception and service overall

The hotel was perfectly located on my route from northeast to southwest France, and the clean, new room was comfortable and relaxing, just right for a good night's rest.

Good position, friendly staff

First time to experience a good nights sleep at this hotel. Reason included ability to lower temperature of room and windows prevented hearing outside noise.

Poor but staff always friendly

As always I had an excellent stay in the Ibis hotel Europe à Châlons sur Saone. Reservation of the room conform my order. Friendly personnel at the reception. Comfort room, excellent bed, always calm and hygiene ok. Good food in restaurant and value for money. Excellent service and friendly personnel in restaurant. Breakfast large choice of bread and pastries, cheese, yoghurt and drinks.

Sorry but I stay often at IBIS hotels and to be honest this has put me off. The hotel is situated well, 2 minutes from the main toll road through Europe but NO menu or anything did they have in english. Unbelievable. They said it was a new menu but the menu cards looked like they had bene chewed by my dog. I never take IBIS budget as I know the standards…….however, this, although not budget price was definately budget standard. Walls so thin I could hear my neighbour using the toilet. There was stale damp smell in the small room. I soon discovered why. After showering the whole room was under water. I really had not a good experience and for the rate I got as a card owner I am really quite disgusted.

normal

Clean room, comfortable bed, good shower. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. Also the fact that the hotel has its own restaurant was convenient.

Good all round service, friendly staff and we like the underground car park for safety for our motorbike. Restauant has good food but could use english menu. rooms are comfortable and reasonably quite.Excellant batroom and shower. overall good value.

We return to this hotel because we are very satisfied with the complete package each time. Very good situation for our journey to the South. The hotel is clean and relatively quiet. See you on our next journey through France.
