Ibis Rotherham East - (M18 - M1) Reviews

Was convenient for budget work accommodation. Easy to locate and next motorway

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, and a great price. Nothing to fault.

Everything is very nice👍🏻the room is very comfortable and easy to get there.

Decent to stay for few nights. There’s a McD right next to the hotel.

Friendly welcome on arrival, car park is available and okay. The room was clean and comfortable.

Morrison nearby

Perfect

Hotel nella media degli Ibis. Pulizia come da standard inglese (niente di clamoroso) e colazione sufficiente (non troppa varietà)

Room overall well maintained, needs sockets by the bed and TV small , no spate pillows in the room. Bathroom shower cubicle poorly maintained and seals broken and black mould.. Walk to our room along ground floor corridor was awful, extreme effluent smell from a flood. Hotel Team were friendly and helpful and welcoming. Location was ideal for our wander round South Yorshire and has pub, McDonalds and Asda all in less than five minutes walk.

Unfair Parking Fine Despite Following Instructions – Serious Issue for Guests I stayed at Ibis Rotherham East (M18-M1) from 1st to 3rd May 2025 and was shocked to receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from Civil Enforcement Ltd, even though I was a paying hotel guest and followed all instructions by entering my car registration into the tablet at reception at check-in. Despite doing exactly what the hotel staff told me to do, I received a PCN claiming I had “failed to obtain a permit.” After researching, I found that many other guests have had the same issue, as shown in countless reviews online. It’s incredibly frustrating that even after acting in good faith, guests are forced to spend hours appealing an unnecessary and baseless fine. This not only wastes precious time, but also causes stress, hassle, and completely ruins the experience of what should be a relaxing vacation or a smooth business trip. In today’s fast-paced world, the last thing guests need is to defend themselves against parking tickets they shouldn’t have received in the first place. This situation portrays a rubbish and unprofessional image of both Ibis Rotherham and Accor as a whole. Accor is a global hotel brand and should not allow guests to be repeatedly penalised due to a badly managed and poorly integrated parking system. It’s high time Accor took serious action to resolve this recurring issue, rather than letting loyal customers bear the consequences of a broken process. If you're planning to stay here, be extremely cautious about parking—and even then, don’t be surprised if you still get fined.

Checked into room 125 to find that another guest had also been allocated the same room and he walked into my room as I was in the bathroom. This gentleman had already been previously allocated a room only to find another guests belongings in there so happened twice. Keycard had to be reset 3 times as it kept falling so had to made several trips to reception and back. I was advised to lift the door as 'some of the locks are awkward. Once in the room I was unable to lock it from the inside and ended up with it unlocked all night other than by the small chain on the back of the door. Corridor outside the room was filthy and hadn’t seen a vacuum for many days. Room old and tired. Carpets dirty, bathroom floor coming away. Shower sealant mouldy and ceiling too. Bedding was clean but mattress old and tatty. Bulbs not working. Surfaces dusty. Heater was like something from the arc. Curtains blacked out the room but literally one was 5 inches longer than the other. Ordinarily I would've refused to stay but this was a necessary visit to arrange my mums funeral so I had little choice after a 6 hour drive. Will be raising a formal complaint as hotel room entirely unacceptable

First time in a ibis and the last time, I know it’s a budget hotel but run down and not very clean, £12 for the worst breakfast I’ve ever had, I wasn’t expecting a lot has it’s a budget hotel but it’s worst than expected, hard beds very small towels, complained about the breakfast but they said there’s no refunds even you you wasn’t happy.

Hotel ok for a nights stay with plenty of amenities close by. I didn’t realise the parking issues until I got a fine for a 1 nights stay. Absolutely appalling to advertise the hotel as having free onsite parking, for the reception staff to take my car details and length of stay but not mention anything else about risks to guests or signpost me to other actions I need to take. The car park is right next to the hotel so if guests can’t park here then Ibis need to take responsibility for this to safeguard their guests. Terrible service and spoilt what was a nice weekend.

Average hotel, could do with refurbishment but it served its purpose for 2 nights. Same issue as lots of others got a parking ticket through from my stay on 3-5th May although its for the first night. Now have to try and rectify and appeal something that shouldn't be happening regardless if it's a 3rd party company or not if its happening all the time it needs addressed.
