Ibis Styles Invercargill 3,5 sterren

I stayed two horrible nights and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, even as a joke. It has all the charm of a pothole in a back alley. The windows had large cracks in them and looked like they may fall out if I turned the wonky TV on too loud. The facilities are more of a concept than something that actually exists as several areas I see on signs in the building aren't actually available. The shower was tiny, the fridge was loud, and I was too scared to use the kettle in case i caught something nasty. I could hear a fellow inmate, uh, I mean guest through the wall and he may need surgery for his snoring. Speaking of inmates, this "Hotel" could pivot to being a place for people out of prison to reintegrate to society as it is quite similar to a concrete cell. Avoid at all costs, sleep in the car, pitch a tent, maybe just keep walking around all night until some shops open again.

Avoid this place if possible! I am a Gold Accor member so I thought that we would stay at this place as the photos showed the self contained kitchen and decent bedrooms. Wrong! The glass in both bedrooms had at least one crack in the panes each. Because the windows are not glazed, the wind flows directly down onto your head making it a very uncomfortable sleep. The kitchen was adequate but the bathroom had a small step over to enter the bathroom making it a trip hazard at night. The exhaust fan looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned for years making it unhealthy. The wash hand basin was set so very low and as tall people it was difficult for us to use as it was also under the mirror cabinet. The parking area was down in the basement - that’s ok but there were no exhaust fans and when we went there this morning, it smelled of very strong carbon monoxide fumes.

This hotel had everything I needed, plus some. I was impressed that even in a cold climate the window had been left open a crack to ventilate between guests. Selection of hot drinks and kitchen basics was a bonus as were the soaps and hand creams in the bathroom. The pillows were even better than my own at home and for a 2 night stay I wasn't expecting my room to be cleaned and serviced on the second day. I usually stay in hostels but this was definitely worth the spend. Well priced.

Just stayed here for 9 days on my own. 4th floor. Plenty of positives … absolutely fantastic room service (cleaners). Positives The servicing of my room was of the highest standard. Can’t fault it, in fact .. possibly better than a five star hotel. Comfortable bed and nice linen Good hair dryer Great water pressure in the shower Negatives Older decor and room was draughty however there is heating and a good fan so could combat that. Small bathroom Honestly, I’ll stay again and be happy too.

In het centrum Invercargill staat het Ibis hotel. De appartementen zijn zeer ruim. Nadeel is dat er weinig ramen zijn en daardoor is het snel donker in de appartementen. Er is een aparte keuken op iedere verdieping.
