ibis budget Givet

We stayed 1 night in this Ibis. We booked it, because Givet was the starting point of our bicycle trip Trans-Ardennes, La Meuse à Vélo, and we needed a place where we could park our car for several days. The lady at the reception was very friendly and helpfull. The hotel has a big parking and they adviced us to park our car after the hotel, so you could not see him from the street. We were able to park our bicycles in a safe place too. It is a typical Ibis budget hotel, so do not expect any luxuary, but that you know in advance. The room is the standard Ibis budget room, and breakfast buffet is basic, but enough for the price you pay. Room was quiet and clean. Lidl is next to the hotel. Mc Donalds is close too, but not far from the Mc Donalds is an Eastern Buffet restaurant, Le Royal Givet. For a fixed price, you can eat as much as you like from the buffet. It is not gastronimic, but good for the price. For better food, go to Givet! It is about 1.5 km to the town center and to the bicycle route la Meuse à Vélo.

Stayed here for 1 night, middle Aug 2020 Essential hotel, well located but sadly very poor level of cleanliness Toilet was smelly, no towel at our arrival and room was dusty, seemed like the room hadn’t been prepared/cleaned for new customer. Ladies at the reception were kind and helpful though.

Hotel in need of a refurbishment, but OK for one night. You get what you pay for. Rooms are the standard IBIS Budget style, Rooms were not the cleanest. There is parking outside the hotel. The hotel is located on the outskirt of Givet, which is a pretty town, There are supermarkets and Mc Donalds within walking distance of the hotel.

We have never stayed in an Ibis Budget and I don't think we will again. As we approached both dustbins outside the hotel were full and spilling out (they were the same the next day). We booked a family room which was very large and sparse. We paid for breakfast which was basic, cereal, yogurt, pastry and coffee which was fine. The hotel is next to a Lidl and McDonalds in a very small shopping area. Outside the hotel is free parking. The hotel is on the out skirts of Givet which is a charming small town on the river. We used this hotel as a stop off point on our journey but now I know what Givet is like I would stay in town if we passed again. Had a great pizza in Casa Mia in a courtyard area,

Everything is good except - like most Ibis Budgets - there is only one coffee machine. Result - constant queueing at breakfast time! In this case at Givet the machine broke down for around 15 minutes and there was no alternative. Bring back the good old coffee jug!
