Ibis Styles Tuebingen

Stay here for two night good service by staff. Breakfast is good. Location is not far 10 minute walk from station

We checked in for 3 nights. Booked the suite on the 8th floor which turned out to be a conference room with a double bed added!! The table and chairs were still there and the extra toilet was full of stacked chairs. Weird! No fridge or any other extras - just a long spacious room with a carpeted floor. No proper views as there was a horrible concrete ledge outside . We had a problem which reception sorted immediately so I won’t go there. We were then given a corner room on the 7th floor which was so much better than the “suite” on the 8th. Plenty of room and 2 double beds . Thank heavens because there was no air con. The hotel had a notice up apologising for one of their pumps being broken. They gave us 2 bottles of water to make sure we didn’t get dehydrated and offered ice cream at reception also free. The heat was just intolerable and I managed 3 hrs sleep on the first night. We opened windows on the other 2 nights but my husband was badly bitten by mosquitos (he’s very susceptible to this). The kind bar staff gave me glasses of ice cubes to take to our room and to put on his bites. I was nearly crying at the thought of having yet another 2 nights here but we survived! The staff are all wonderful. Not sure about housekeeping though - one of them barged into our room before 10am when I was getting dressed!! We were only supposed to check out at 12 so she should have knocked - and 2 hours later!! The bar prices are so reasonable and the bar is nicely furnished. Everything clean and shiny. We never got our room serviced in the 3 days there as we like to help the environment. They put a treat in a bag you leave on the room door. You get a measly chocolate or a tiny bag of haribos. No thanks! I’d prefer a voucher for a free drink or towards breakfast. The 7th floor was really noisy even with closed windows. The sound from the trains is terrible and you can hear people talking from the ground floor outdoor area as well as groups of people on the terraced outdoor area of the next building along. Location is very good but I will not be returning.
