ibis budget Brest Centre Port 2 stars

Smooth check-in and welcoming staff. Exactly what you expect from an ibis budget.

Very satisfactory and very pleasant and helpful staff.

The room was great, staff very friendly and breakfast great. it was quite a noisy location though, with mopeds revving engines and shouting in the street during the night.

The room is big, fresh and modern interior.

Please do not replenish new plastic cups in the room every day! This is a complete waste and terrible for the environment. A proper glass or mug would be fine.

What we were expecting

The hotel staff were very helpful in providing a room fan and directions to the few tourist sites in town. There is a restaurant strip within 50m of the hotel and safe street parking. Castle museum is 15 minute walk.

My mistake, I booked an Ibis budget instead of the regular Ibis or Ibis Styles, won't do that again. When we arrived at about 4.30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon the main door was locked and our only access was through the adjoining Ibis Styles. Unfortunately the rest of Brest was like this too. After booking in we wandered around Brest but as aforementioned everything was closed, this isn't the hotels fault. We even had to sit outside a restaurant for nearly 45 minutes to wait for it to open for business at 7 p.m. The hotel was utilitarian, definitely no frills and the breakfast was minimalistic in choice. As stated, my mistake.
