ibis budget Saint Gaudens bintang 2

We overnighted after arriving in Toulouse enroute to the Atlantic Pyrenees. Easy to find right off the highway. Yes it’s a budget hotel so rooms are small and basic. Spotless, quiet, comfy bed. Breakfast area also immaculate. A great restaurant within a block of the hotel featuring a wood fire grill and regional cuisine.

this first time we did sleep in this budget hotel, we were surprised by the nearby possibilities of good foodrestaurants. Within 200 meters of the hotel you have the choice of a Pizza-restaurant, a Buffalo grill ( excellent food and prices!!!!! ) or a Mac Donalds... so you can have a fine diner or super before a good night rest in a silent environment.

A hotel with McDonald's across the street! This was my first experience with Ibis of many. We paid 60,- for a room here and I feel like it was more than worth it. Everything is so modern and luxurious to me. There are touch lights above the bed and every inch of the room is used as efficiently as possible. Shower includes a hygienic upside down bottle of shower gel and the floor is made of some type of tough rubber. It's not cold when you get out of bed! There's also a gap in the shower wall to put your bottles and things. It's such a simple touch but it shows the thought they put into these rooms. I don't know anything about breakfast or dinner because the night before our stay we walked over to the other side of the street and picked a nice pizza restaurant, and in the morning we left at 5AM. The gates automatically open when you approach with your car so you can leave at any moment you wish. I paid 33,- for an identical room in Spain, so the 60,- we paid here is actually quite expensive for an Ibis room. On the other hand they do have all kinds of restaurants directly around the hotel and I wouldn't want it any other way :)

After having been thrown around all night on the ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre and getting no sleep in storm Eleanor we could not get into the planned journey to Spain. The ferry docked 4 hours late. So we were so tired and didn’t make it very far. We stopped early at this hotel. It was clean comfortable and friendly and not expensive. After a good night sleep in a warm room we were able to continue our journey. With plenty of restaurants nearby we will stop here’s again.

Easy to find and good location for access to the Pyrenees and tarbes. Slightly strange with door code instead of card. Met the housekeepers just after we checked in about 4pm when they entered without knocking. Met them again in the morning while still in bed, again no knock. They were very loud first thing in the morning in the corridor. Bed a bit hard. Could do with more pillows.
