Ibis Budget are dreadful. I've stayed in 2 and both were awful.
One was a converted office building in Birmingham.
One a new build in Cardiff.
Made deliberately low rent in terms of decor by using woodchip wallpaper on the walls and ceilings.
No good for sharing with a friend unless you're happy to shower in front of them as for some bizzare reason the shower cubicle was in the bedroom.
Heating didn't work. Room smelled of damp.
And not even that cheap. Birmingham was £90, Cardiff £80.
Never again.
Low end brand or not, I expect hot water for a shower and bedding not to smell of cigarettes.
I’ve used easyhotel many times and they’ve always managed a clean environment and a good shower
I booked a day room at a Radisson Edwardian and there was no hot water. Shower was "refreshing".
Easyhotel are all right. usually are very cheap, clean and comfy enough to get a good nights sleep. How Ibis should be doing it!
