Hotel Ibis di Charleroi

Als je meerdere Novotels bezocht hebt, ben je gewend geraakt aan bepaalde standaards, van zowel kamer, personeel als bar/restaurant. In Charleroi worden helaas alleen die van de kamer waargemaakt: de mijne was supergroot, netjes, modern en handig ingericht. De regendouche was de beste ooit en het (aparte) bad liep sneller vol dan ik ooit meegemaakt had (en dat op de hoogste verdieping!). De keuze bij het ontbijtbuffet was tamelijk beperkt: met name aan groente en fruit ontbrak er het één en ander. De koffieautomaten bevonden zich buiten de ontbijtzaal (best onhandig) en één van de twee was alle vier dagen van mijn verblijf defect (erg onhandig). De kwaliteit van de koffie kwam overeen met de kwaliteit van de andere ontbijtproducten: matig tot gemiddeld. Dit is het ontbijt dat je verwacht bij Ibis Budget en dat dan ook overeenkomstig geprijsd is. Het personeel, dat hier in de reviews enorm geprezen wordt, moet haast wel collectief op vakantie geweest zijn. De receptionisten die ik trof, waren ongeïnteresseerd, dreunden lusteloos hun standaardriedels op en blonken alleen uit in het actief niet-groeten van de gasten als die voorbij kwamen. In Berlijn zouden deze mensen buschauffeur zijn. Zelfs oogcontact maken was al te veel moeite. De stad Charleroi zelf was daarentegen veel mooier (of minder lelijk) dan verwacht: met name het centrum en stationsgebied zijn erg mooi opgeknapt in een uitnodigende stijl. De meeste inwoners zijn op hun beurt nog niet echt mee geëvolueerd. Ik ben nog in geen enkele Belgische stad zoveel onderontwikkelde (en iedere betekenis van het woord) mensen tegengekomen als hier. Mocht je om het even welke een stad in Henegouwen willen bezoeken, dan is Mons (Bergen) een verstandiger en veiliger keus. Daar kun je na ”sluitingstijd” nog ongestoord over straat lopen, zonder op elke straathoek aangesproken (door bedelaars) of nageroepen (door hangjongeren) te worden. In Charleroi ben je best om 19.00 uur binnen, met de deur op slot. ;-)

Siamo stati in questa struttura attirati dal fatto che viene dichiarato si trovi a 300 metri dall'aeroporto di Charleroi..purtroppo i 300 metri si sono rivelati qualche km ..circa 3 e mezzo...quindi e necessario utilizzare servizio navetta taxi o eventualmente avere un mezzo proprio per il quale almeno c'è un parcheggio gratuito. Detto questo gentilissimo il personale, carina la struttura ma ovviamente come ”appoggio”per la strada da e per l'aeroporto senza troppe aspettative.

Very close to the airport, which is s plus. Some rooms are loud because of the location (road noise) The rooms are well equipped, but not so clean and not maintained

This motel exists to provide a service for overnighters after a late flight in or early flight out of Charlroi airport. It is a low cost no frills model but provides an excellent shuttle service to and from the airport(approximately 12 minutes away). Benjamin was very obliging in picking us up one evening and then dropping us early next morning. There is no food or bar available but the rooms are clean and beds comfortable. It was exactly what we wanted and at a reasonable price. Let them know at time of booking if you require a shuttle to airport. If you arrive early enough and are hungry I highly recommend Il Trullito italian restaurant about 22 mins walk from the hotel. Surprisingly given the location it is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten in, and we holidayed in Italy for years. Apparently there is another Italian restaurant in closer proximity but it was closed the Thursday we stayed.

The first thing to say is - I'm not usually a Youth Hostel person so I'll give the Auberge de Jeunesse lots of credit here. Met by friendly receptionist who was helpful in telling me all the important information including the shuttle bus back to Charleroi Airport. The room I got was a ”Basic Single Room” - which was just a 2 bed dorm with Single occupancy. It did exactly what it said on the tin - it had a bed, toilet, shower, sink, plugs and table/chairs - just what was needed for an overnight stay. The bed was comfortable despite having to do the pillowcase/bed sheets/duvet cover myself, but I guess that's a hostel thing! The one downside to my stay was the amount of noise from outside my room - which I believe was next to a shared area. Constant banging, whistling and cheering until about 12.30am led to not much sleep being had until then - luckily my flight home was in the afternoon, it would be awful if you had an early connection! Breakfast was offered and was a good continental offering, some hot food would have been nice but the breakfast I had was more than acceptable. For a grand total of €37 including breakfast, this place is extremely good value for money, but expect noise before you go to sleep! I would return if I was coming back to Charleroi.

Really nice hotel staff where friendly, aircon in the room was really good with how hot it was taxi service to the airport and
