Ibis Styles Rouen Center Left Bank bintang 3

Our second night in France we stayed here. The hotel was close enough that we could take a 10 minute uber to the old part of town. The room was comfy and we had an enjoyable stay. Kudos to Elisabeth & Juliette for being quite handy to answer all of our questions and meet any beverage needs we had at the bar. Amazing stay! Thanks!

Lovely hotel. Does the basics well. No frills but l nice facilities and very friendly staff. Beds are very comfortable. The breakfast has a great selection of breads and warm pastries. Everything was clean. Enjoyed having the pool table and Fußball table downstairs!

Fab location. Parking was good too. Dog friendly. Teas and coffee facilities. Lovely soascious clean room, we had a fab nights sleep. As we arrived late we didn’t venture outside, had a drink at the bar. Very friendly gentleman served us and made us feel welcome, thank you. Would recomend.

Stayed in room 223 which was in front of hotel. In spite of it being a busy road the soundproofing did its job and there was little outside noise. Roundabout was fun to watch - not so much fun to get out onto when leaving hotel. The room was extremely comfortable. Bathroom had walk in shower and was modern and clean. Breakfast typical of Ibis/Novotel. Selection of breads, cheeses and hams as well as cereals. Nice view over Rouen Rugby ground. I parked in hotel carpark- remember to get code before leaving. Hotel about 20 minutes walk into city centre.

Ibis Styles Rouen Centre Rive Gauche is easy to find and has plenty of private parking, both at ground level and underground. Check in was friendly and efficient. The hotel is a fair walk from the town centre but there is a very convenient bus service running past the hotel every 8 minutes or so. It is the T4 and you buy your ticket at the machine at the bus stop. It is one ticket per journey and you validate it when you board the bus. The most convenient stop for the old town is Vieux Marche and, coming back, the stop for the hotel is Chartreux. Our room is is modern but with the very limited storage space that you expect with Ibis, i.e. some open shelving and hanging racks instead of drawers and wardrobe. To be fair, it’s what I expected and it’s ok for a short stay. Other facilities include a large, wall mounted television and modern bedside lamps that you feel obliged to swing out of the way so that you don’t injure yourself getting out of bed. Talking of which, it is a large, very comfortable double bed for two people - but only one of us gets a bedside table - which I assume isn’t deliberate policy, so it’s just missing. Oh - and there’s a small table in the room, but no chair. There’s either some serious stupidity here or junior management need to have a look at all rooms to ensure all appropriate furnishings are present. On the mega plus side - the smart en-suite bathroom contained just about the best shower I’ve ever used. The buffet breakfast was fine, with the continental staples of fresh fruits, juice, yogurts etc with main items being the ubiquitous ham and cheese. You can also boil yourselves some eggs if you like (I was hoping for some scrambled!). A main problem was people having to queue for coffee from the single, working coffee machine, and for some reason they put the breads etc right behind where the coffee queue will be, so you need to break through the line to grab some bread or cake. Again, this should be an easy fix by (a) getting a second coffee machine up and running and (b) making sure that the coffee machine doesn’t hinder access to other areas. Taking the package as a whole, the price and facilities here are good for a near city centre hotel with parking. And here’s a little tip if you like a beer and don’t want to go into the city centre - La Civette des Chartreux is a splendid local bar just between the hotel and the bus stop. The bottom line is that this made a good base for a short visit to this fabulous city, and we would happily stay here again.
