Ibis Styles Chinon

We stayed for 1 night on the way to the UK from SW France.. The staff were super welcoming and the room was clean and warm (it was December) - the decor is very tired and the large breakfast room/restaurant is very gloomy - grim paint colours, no background music, not a place to linger. Once the ground floor rooms have been renovated, we would stay again.

Spotlessly clean, quiet and in a fantastic area only 10 mins walk from the town. The Staff couldn't do enough either. Breakfast was ok, made by the unlimited fresh orange juice. Some areas need some basic maintenance but i loved the hotel

Quite honestly, this hotel is very very grim. When we arrived, we actually thought we were going in at the back of the building. Outside the door was so scruffy! When we went through the doors, there were a number of staff standing around talking and I thought maybe we had gone in a back door and we were in a staff canteen! There was a low standard table with a laptop sitting on it - this was the reception desk! When we got to our room, our first impression wasn't improved. It's so grubby and badly maintained. I didn't want to put bare feet on the filthy carpet so I kept my shoes beside the bed. The bath - ugh. There really is no excuse and this isn't acceptable. Also, the balcony - filthy, and some dangerous looking cracks in the balcony wall. Also a dangerously dark corridor at night (floor 2). Time to change some lights I think! There is a swimming pool and I normally swim every day. We had our swimwear with us but one look at the pool and we decided we weren't going to use it. On the positive side - the breakfast offering was lovely and the blond lady who managed this area was super efficient at keeping all items topped up and keeping the area clean, despite having her arm in a splint. Also the air conditioning in the room worked well. All in all though - investment is very badly needed. I couldn't return if it remains in this sorry state.

My strong advice is manage your expections of this hotel , let me explain why . The photographs on the website and trip adviser date from 2012 and are not relevant nor realistic of both the exterior and interior . The rooms are small even the " updated " are below expections The balcony's are dirty and not cleaned . But there is a pool which is clean but the areas around it are not. ! Staff are great. , breakfast is good fresh orange and great loose tea Location and parking good So be aware but good value

We stayed for two nights at the Ibis Style Hotel whilst on a coach tour. I cant fault our room, we had one with the castle view and a balcony. Perhaps the only negative was it could have been cleaner. The breakfast was excellent. Being on a coach trip, the hotel is subject to providing meals as designated by the travel company. I would sooner have been on a B& B basis, with an allowance against a meal of choice

Mon avis est mitigé car j'ai trouvé que cet hôtel n'est pas au niveau d'autres Ibis Styles que nous avons pu fréquenter. Nous y avons passé 2 nuits, pour un séjour correct, sans plus. Les points négatifs: - personne n'a de tenue professionnelle (les serveurs du restaurants sont habillés normalement et le personnel de chambre également, aucun moyen de savoir qu'ils font partie du staff) - manque de finitions au niveau de la rénovation (cf photos), qui n'a pas été faite dans toutes les pièces de la chambre (salle de bain, WC) - affichage peu professionnel voire inapproprié dans l'ascenseur et avec des fautes (cf photos) - supplément demi-pension pour un enfant de 11 ans non annoncé à l'arrivée. Le montant (17 eur pour 2 nuits) n'est pas le problème, mais cela aurait dû être précisé lors du check-in - les chariots de linge restent dans le couloir devant l'ascenseur (cf photos) - la chambre avec vue forteresse donne sur un centre de loisirs, nous avons été réveillés le 1er matin par les enfants dans la cour - très mauvaise insonorisation des chambres, heureusement que nos voisins n'étaient pas spécialement bruyants et avait les mêmes horaires de coucher que nous, mais nous les entendions très bien! Les points positifs: - personnel sympathique, que ce soit à l'hôtel ou au resto - la piscine - hôtel au calme (à part ce centre de loisirs, mais tout dépend de la situation de votre chambre) - chambre très propre - bonne literie - effectivement une très belle vue sur la forteresse comme annoncée et un petit balcon, très appréciables Globalement il y a de l'idée, mais ce n'est pas abouti. Sur certains aspects, on n'a pas l'impression d'être dans un hôtel du groupe Accor.
