Ibis Styles Orléans

This hotel needs closing down and renovating. Avoid it at all costs. I often use Ibis Styles hotels, via the All Accor Hotels Membership, however, this one should be remove from the All Accor family. It's list of facilities is not factual. The warning bells started ringing at check-in. The place was empty. One lady on the reception desk said hello to us then when I said I have a reservation she returned to her computer. We waited 3 or 4 minutes, and said is there a problem finding it, to which was the reply, I'm not looking at that yet. I passed her my All Accor membership card and told her my name and waited another 2 minutes, only to be asked my name again. It was on the card in front of her. I have often used Ibis Styles and highly praise them, this one though should not be used. Poor attitude of staff, low quality of accommodation, poor facilities. I sat at the bar area and ordered a drink only to be told they don't have a licence to sell alcohol, even though the hotel description state there is a bar and lounge. I was told if I buy a dinner then I can buy a drink. At this point we opted to eat anywhere but there. The room had only a small amount of loo roll in the bathroom so we had to go down and ask for more. My wife decided to make a cup of tea in the reception area, with the facilities, but had to ask for milk. This seemed to be a bit of a chore for the receptionist, who replied with an audible sigh. The toilet in the bathroom was best described as a child's toilet. My wife has arthritis in her knees and found it difficult getting down and up again due to the toilet being lower than normal ones. The wash basin has a plug which does not stop the water draining away, and the wash basin tap is positioned so that water ends up spilling over the side of the basin. The bath tub is an old enamel type with a high lip making it difficult to get into and use the shower. Breakfast at all other Ibis Styles is a pleasure, however, at this one it seemed to be a cost cutting exercise. Raw eggs were provided and the the place to cook them had cool water in it. We had to turn up the thermostat to be able to cook the eggs. A member of staff turned down the thermostat again after we sat down. All the other Ibis Styles I've stayed in provide scrambled eggs as an option, but not this one. The bowl of mixed fruit had been replaced by the fruit already place into small individual glasses of a size chosen by the hotel. More cost cutting. I asked for bread for the toaster as the basket was empty and someone brought out 6 slices, bear in mind this was only 08:15. The baguettes had already been cut into the size the hotel chose. This pointed out the penny pinching which seemed to be going on. There was only one member of staff who could speak English which is very unusual. I think this hotel needs to be fully refitted. Staff included. All Accor group needs to be aware, this reflects badly on them and their brand.

Terrible experience - not ibis like !!! Worse room ever: hotel needs renovation, room was NOT clean and very noisy, since directly at a high trafficked street. Service even worse: staff says no to everything !!! Breakfast was supposed to be until 10.00. at 9.00 almost everything was finished and they did not fill up. We needed up eating old toast bread. I always sty at ibis and ibis style, but this hotel is not up to their standards. Never again!

We have stopped over at this hotel many times. The staff are friendly, beds are comfy, and the breakfast is good (though no fruit salad). However, it is due a makeover, especially the bathrooms, where there would be plenty of room for a proper walk-in shower instead of an over-bath arrangement, which is quite hard to get in and out of, and slippery. Some improvements, and the Styles branding would be deserved.

Disappointed overall Specifically booked a hotel with a restaurant. Closed. Elevator out of order. Area noisy through the night.

Really well located just off the autoroute, an hour south of Paris. Warm welcome, comfy rooms and spotlessly clean. Staff friendly & engaging and a small bar area to enjoy a glass of wine after a long journey. Nice breakfast buffet, always the included in the Ibis Styles rate. Highly recommended.

Lovely welcome at reception and we got great instructions on getting the tram into Orléans and the return journey home. The hotel is clean and tidy. Our room was perfect for our stopover. The shower was excellent and we both slept comfortably. Good air con. Breakfast was also good! Would stay here again. Thanks to all in the hotel.
