Ibis Budget Auxerre Centre 2 gwiazdki

We were traveling across France this summer during a 3 day heat wave. We decided to stop at Auxerre to get out of the heat. During the day the AC runs fine, indicated by the two green lights on the the thermostat, one for the compressor and one for the fan. In the middle of the first night I woke up sweating. I got up to discover the system was off. So I turned it back on. Only the fan came on. This happened in all 3 rooms of the people we were traveling with. On the 2nd night, the compressor light was off so only the fan was running. Room was never cold st night, only during the day. I guess that’s how they decided to cut costs. So be careful. When they say it’s a budget hotel they mean it. You get what you pay for. This was the first time staying at this hotel chain and based on this experience it will be the last.

This hotel is new. Because its a budget hotel, the rooms are small, no safe or bar fridge. Great choice for a short stay. It does offer standard French breakfast fare for 6 euros each. Very reasonable compared to other hotels offering the same. Staff, friendly and helpful. The location could not be better. You walk across the street, through the park and you are in old Auxerre. Walk to the clock tower. Lovely restaurants on the river front offering good food at reasonable prices. Parking is limited with room for about 8 vehicles which could be a problem in the busy season, but parking is at a premium everywhere.

Great location. Short walking distance to centre. Clean hotel. Very helpful, friendly staff. Overall fantastic experience. If visiting Auxerre, do not hesitate in choosing this place to stay. We will definitely be staying here again if we need a. Place to stay during our long drive south from Paris. Thank you!

Lady at reception was friendly but didn’t care about our need, I asked for a room away from lift and was given a room opposite the lift , asked if she could give me a room on upper floors, she gave us 1st floor. Wouldn’t stay again, breakfast was average, coffee was not very good .

My wife and I are IBIS fans, although we’d never tried the Budget version. For what we were looking for, it did not disappoint. The staff greeted us kindly and we were given our room code without any problems. The Budget lacks the bar area in the lobby; however, they have a cold breakfast for 6 Euro; the rooms are a bit smaller, but still have that new style look we’ve grown to appreciate. The room and shower were clean with plenty of hot water and effective wifi. I considered the Budget over its Red sister because the IBIS Red sat on the corner of a busy street. Breakfast was kept stocked – the only issue I saw was that the coffee machine was constantly busy; to the point of 4 or more waiting in line. Perhaps another coffee machine would be a good idea. Thank you IBIS for another good night’s rest!
