Ibis Styles Metz Centre Gare

After several nights travelling, this was a welcome relief. Cool room with efficient air-conditioning. Many Ibis Styles are new, but this a re-purposed classic building - spacious and effective rooms despite the conversion. The bed was very large and comfortable. Good wi-fi and an included breakfast. Parking was quite easy on the street (arrival at 18:00) and free from 19:00 - 09:00.

It was a great stay. I loved the place. Staff was very helpful and nice.

This is a lovely old hotel (above the main door in the stonework it says the royal hotel) an easy walk from the train station. Decor is lovely. There are extra sitting rooms downstairs and self serve tea and coffee is provided. Room was spacious for an Ibis, large bathroom, very comfortable beds and quiet. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, I don't think there were enough staff to cope with the number of guests, everything from food to cutlery kept running out. Loved the yoghurt and fruit but everything else was very carb heavy but that is probably my taste rather than French. My only problem was the house keeping lady. We had asked if we could stay an extra 30/60 minutes so we didnt have to hang around the train station and were told no problem the night before, yet at 1210 there was banging on the door and this angry lady was saying get out you leave, she would not listen to me, possibly a language issue but there was no mistaking the angry face. Maybe she should concentrate on the mouldy bathroom, unfilled soap containers and missing towels before she is rude to guests?

Stayed 2 nights and all was fine. Our twin room overlooked the street, but it was not noisy and we slept well, in comfortable beds. Pleasantly surprised to find a bathroom much bigger than is normal in budget hotels, shower and towels good. Standard fare at breakfast. The staff were busy but could have paid a little more attention to wiping down the tables and chairs after each setting. The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the Gare de Metz and there is a free shuttle bus which stops a few metres away, running to and from the town centre, only a few minutes away. Would return and recommend.
