Ibis Dieppe Val Druel

Friendly staff and quiet night. The room was basic but clean and the bed was a nice comfortable king size. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room though.

A reviewer noted in November 2023 that the hotel needed updating, and it seems nothing has changed. The hotel is shabby, it smells of cooking fat, my room stank of sweat (is this due to memory foam mattresses)?, the shower head was broken, and the shower gel dispenser had clearly been empty for some time. On check-in, the receptionist was more interested in doing things her way, than listening, so check-in was laborious. Good things about the hotel: parking, plentiful hot water, and a reasonable breakfast, though the layout of this needs a rethink. It could be a great little hotel, but it isn’t.

We arrived around 23:00hr, too late to eat in the restaurant, but the receptionist gave us a beer from the bar, some complementary crisps, and was happy for us to picnic on the pork pies we'd bought in Newhaven. The room seemed small but only because the bed is big, very clean and very comfortable. We slept well and after a fantastic breakfast (thanks Willy) we were on our way. We enjoyed our stopover and will certainly stay here again.

This hotel met the expected IBIS standards and was a good choice for us. Its lcation in the town was not central and information about local bus services would have ben helpful.
