ibis Aalst Centrum Hotel 3 stars

good

The room was clean if not a little basic. The wardrobe was some strange half and half box attached to the wall and there were no tea or coffee making facilities. The manager assured me that the bar was 24/7 to make up for the fact there is no such facility. Whilst a 24/7 bar is handy if you want to pay too much for drinks at £60 a night I would expect to be able to make my own tea and coffee. The hotel was also well insulated from noise from the outside but alas not so much from the inside as I was awoken many times by slamming doors in the early hours. The staff were friendly, the location is excellent for travelling and the reception being always open is also great and I appreciate 12pm checkouts. I would just expect slightly more from a hotel in this price bracket.

Pleasant and welcome

So on a positive point the staff were fantastic. I stay in a lot of Accor Hotels and have to say this was way overpriced approx £127 per night. (despite the fact the sign outside stayed at 69 Euro for the whole of my 2 night stay) That rate was apparently a preferred member price so goodness knows what it would have been otherwise. Room was ok, nothing to write home about and lacking any tea and coffee making facilities. Was it worth £127 per night not even close. Tiny TV, basic shower, basic furniture set up etc. Other than the room and the bar/restruant there are no other facilities. Be aware if you don't have a car and are looking to travel here from Brussels it's not the easiest of places to get too. Food was pretty good and as I said in the title super helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast starts super early which is a plus. Truth is at this price I woudn't stay again as there are lots of other options in the area that offer far more for your money in terms of facilities.

Was aware of standard conditions of ibis so was not expecting anything special. Found unfortunately room in very poor condition with WiFi which did not work for all evening (only explanation received was that there were too many visitors in the bar)

The check-in is perfect as the fast check-out. A very nice personnel does the maximum to enjoy your Journey. A good adress in the west of Brussels. A quite night and a fresh orange juice at the breakfast.

Excellent breakfast, quiet room, tap water smelled funny, air conditioning setting made the room hotter

Lack of facility to be able to make a hot drink - tea or coffee - after a long journey was very disappointing and means we won't use the hotel again.

Room was relatively large. The single bed was not comfortable and too short. Everything was available, but very basic. Parking was a rip off. Check out was slow - with one operator and 4 customers waiting.

Convenient, pleasant staff, good price

I'm quite dissatisfied with my room, as it was very dark. There were no sockets next to bed. Under bedside tables it was dirty. No drink water provided in rooms. But I liked breakfast and the restaurant on the ground floor.

Good

Checked in the room and noticed that the electric switch board was making a constant irritating noise. Asked for another room but manager checked himself and agreed with my view. Received another room at the back side. Breakfast is more than OK.

correct but no soap in the shower
