ibis Styles Collioure Port Vendres 3 stars

Magnifico

It was just great. If I compare this hotel to some others like Novotel Andorra (4*), This Ibis Styles had better welcome from staff, better rooms, nice welcome drink and good breakfast. To Collioure it is walking distance, so as city centre. I was lucky and got a view on the sea so as Collioure.

Start with most positive... a super selection for breakfast. So many options fitted into a small breakfast area. Excellent! But firstly we had the impression of going to a boutique style hotel with stunning coastal views.... NOT!! Coastal side faces a Lidl supermarket whilst the other side faces an interior emptiness a d an opposing wall. Nothing boutique about this really. A bit of bright paint around but that is all. Oh and a sliding screen facing night sky so you could lookat the stars. But window can't be opened so even in late October room was stuffy, lacked oxygen and so we slept badly. As an Accor member it was disappointing and we expected much better. Not worth the money I'm afraid. Pity as breakfast was excellent

We stay here regularly because it is well located, comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. We also prefer underground parking.

On entering the hotel we were greeted by a very nice young man on reception who was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are quite spacious and clean and tidy. Breakfast was the normal continental version plus one hot item, first day sausages, second day bacon. There is a small swimming pool on the top floor with good views towards Collioure. You could not be in a safer place as part of the hotel is shared with the local gendarmerie. The free car park is quite small, but across the road, by the cemetery, there is plenty of spaces. My only complaint, which is a small one, is that there was an unpleasant smell from the drain in the shower. The smell disappears after the shower is used but builds up during the day. Our room was 116. Overall thoroughly recommended, we intend to visit next year.
