Ibis Styles Niort Poitou-Charentes

This hotel is not up to the expectations of Ibis Styles. The room was very dated. The shower riser rail was loose and ready to separate from the wall fixings. The Aircon and the heating were not working . Heavy condensation on the window in the morning. The bed sounded as if the mattress was stuffed with straw, it wasn't but the plastic sheet covering it made it sound as if it was. The breakfast was adequate but the venue was reminiscent of a school canteen. Free WiFi was a plus. The parking was free but that's because it's a motorway services area. That causes another problem as it means paying a toll if you wish to go elsewhere to dine. Which is advisable as the so called restaurant next door, in the service area, is not recommended.

Definitely needs a facelift, nothing been done for a while but it’s prices have gone up

Food outlets next door should carry a health warning with them. Positively the worst food we have ever had. Breakfast at the hotel wasn’t much better. Management should take a long look at this one.

My wife and I have stayed in this hotel on numerous occasions during the past 20 odd years, long before it became an IBIS STYLES, it being a very convenient stopover on the long journey from our home in the south of France to the ferry ports in the north. However, the hotel has deteriorated in recent years - it is now very tired and in my view needs a complete overhaul. Furthermore, the amenities in the Aire itself have deteriorated and make it a less pleasurable stopover. We will seek out a hotel in Niort in future.

An hour to check in and no one else at the reception they stated he could not find my booking. There was walk ins asking if any room was available he had doubled the rate and asking for cash. stating his machine was not working. I would not leave as I had prepaid at it was now 11 pm. He finally gave up and gave me a room and took my card details as security despite proving i had pre-paid. I think I have been charged twice. The room is basic, I just need to sleep but saw the bar the next day it was a 2ft counter.

Best place to stay on the motorway. Correu muito bem, quarto com optimas condicoes e staff muito simpatico e prestativo
