Ibis Budget Vienne Sud

On both days neither of the staff were able to provide allergen information for the breakfast.

Budget hotel that has the basics. On top of a road so could be quite loud. No hair dryer or kettle for hot water in the morning. Bed was fine, walls are kind of thin. Fine stay for one night if you won’t stay long in the room

Very disappointing. After a long trip from Calais we were looking forward to a night's rest before travelling on to Tarragona. However, this was not be. Upon arrival we were informed that the lift was not working and that our room was on the second floor. OK we can deal with that we thought. The room. Oh my goodness, such a tiny space with one double bed and a bunk bed over it. How three people could manage in such a small space is beyond us. We then discovered there was no hot water. After running the tap in the sink and the shower for some time, they only offered luke warmwater. Back down to the front desk to inform the receptionist who was by the way quite pleasant. She offered us another room which was on the 4th floor or another hotel. We guessed the other hotel would be the one close by which we had already visited when trying to find this hotel which didn't look much better. Being very tired and not wanting to navigate the roads again at rush hour, we accepted the room on the 4th floor. Yes we did get hot water. The general appearance of this establishment was grubby and not very clean. There was a Christmas tree in the tiny foyer which was sadly dead. The microwave in the foyer was dirty on top, did not want to venture to look inside. The rooms were also of a grubby appearance and the bathroom floors were definitely not clean, toilets had brown stains at the bottom of the pans. I did not venture into the bed but slept in my clothes on top of the covers. We left early the following morning and opted not to risk breakfast based on previous experiences. To market this establishment as a "hotel" is a stretch of the imagination. We understand the meaning of budget but how low can you go. "Hostel" would be a better description. We have stayed in Ibis establishments on other occasions but have never been subject to such a poor experience.

When they say budget, they mean budget. Nothing in the way of amenities, beds no bigger than camp cots, and a bathroom so small my 6’ tall husband couldn’t close the door to use the facilities…his legs were too long. Comparable to my youth hostel days, but that’s too long ago for me to try an Ibis Budget again.
