ibis budget Clermont Ferrand Nord Riom bintang 2

We stayed there 4 times this year, as a break in the journeys to and from the South of France. It is a perfect location for us, quiet, clean, welcoming. The staff is always helpful and friendly and for the price, it is a very good value stay.

A first stay at this brand. Arriving, you definitely feel that this is the "annex" to the adjoining Ibis. The reception was unmanned and all the chairs were up on the tables in the breakfast area. Not very welcoming after a long journey. Registration was done next door so it was back out in the rain. The receptionist was friendly and efficient. Our room faced the back and was quiet. Having a lift was a bonus. The arrangement of separate toilet and shower worked well. Although the bed was comfortable, the frame creaked noisily at the slightest movement from either of us which was not acceptable given the price of the room. There was no information in the room about how anything worked, such as the TV and the A/C, nor a menu for the food served next door. Breakfast provided a good choice and set us up for the journey but there should be a tea cloth on the breadboard to wrap the bread without everyone putting their hands on the baguette when cutting it. There didn't seem to be many people staying in the hotel and few staff; we only saw the chambermaid and the girl who put out the breakfast. Both were pleasant. The prices of chain hotels in France creep up every year. This is definitely a budget hotel but not a particularly cheap option. We would consider the brand in the future.

Less expensive of the many in the area. Everything automatic after 9pm, but it works well. Breakfast available for €6ca extra. It was well in our way coming from Switzerland by car towards the Atlantic coast.

I received a nice welcome. My room was fine, with a good shower. No problems with the wi-fi. The hotel is close to the A71 motorway, so good for an early getaway. Parking is in an enclosed compound. I enjoyed the usual Ibis Budget breakfast.

The hotel is just off the main national route D2009, which is perfect for us on our trip to Spain. Clean, tidy hotel, nice shower, very large parking area. The staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with all the normal choices, i.e. croissants, bread, baguettes, jams, cheeses, cereals etc. There are five nearby restaurants, all within 100 yards. Recommended.
