ibis Styles Bayonne Centre Gare Hotel 3 stars

We love the Ibis Styles brand but this hotel was not up to the usual quality. The location could not be better on the riverside and just a couple of minutes walk from the railway station. We had a room with two windows overlooking the river and all the Christmas lights on the other bank. Although the hotel doesn't have parking, we found plenty of spaces in the nearby streets. The woman who greeted us on our arrival was extremely nice and very helpful. I heard her speaking French, English and Spanish fluently. The breakfast was good (included in the price) but the breakfast room is too small and people were queuing for tables on our first morning. The staff were very slow to clear tables when they came available or replenish items which had run out. Breakfast on the second day was completely different with a very efficient team working in the dining room.

Very similar to, and as satisfactory as, all the other ibis hotels I've stayed at. A couple of niggles: the air-con was excessively complicated to get working (even when I'd found the laminated card with all the instructions), and there was an oddly-shaped table in the room which, while useful for putting things on, was very difficult to position so that it didn't impinge on the beds or partially block access to the bathroom.

Very nice clean modern rooms and very goid breakfast. Staff very helpful and English speaking. Lovely view from our room. Short walk to train station. Thank you.

A pleasant stay helped by the lovely staff

Hotel is very centrally located with beautiful views to central Bayonne. Decoration is looking tired but hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. One downside is parking, we were travelling by car and having to park in the main station car park makes the night stay dearer.

Although we were a bit worried that our room might be too near the train station or the main road, we were quickly reassured. Even the concert not far from the hotel was finished by the time we went to bed. The view from the bedroom on the second floor was spectacular. The breakfast was informally laid out and very substantial; the staff were friendly and accommodating. We would come back any time! Our only criticism was the decor in the bedroom. We could not understand why you had coloured strips running up the walls and over the ceiling in such a magnificent room.

Very close to the station and in a fabulous position. Very quiet we had no problem sleeping and felt well rested. Breakfast was substantial beautifully presented and replenished regularly we were impressed better than expected

Hotel was good, room was clean and breakfast was nice

Location very good. Room small, and toilet so small difficult to get in and out. Breakfast good. Good value for money though overall.

Ibis standard Nice location close to river

Room with a view... Clean enough... Fast check-in/out No parking Poor breakfast

Good stopover on the way to the south of France. Warm welcome from the staff. Room was ok, toilet a bit of a squash and sofa bed a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast plentiful and tasty.

Excellent family room. Very clean. Lovely breakfast room with plenty of choice. Friendly staff. Hotel location by the riverside very nice
