Hotel terbaik di Effiat

L'hotel Ibis rouge de Vichy étant complet, nous nous sommes rabattus sur l'hotel Ibis budget. Nous avions déjà fréquenté les Ibis budget à travers la France et nous savions ce que nous allions trouvé. Ces hôtels n'ont pas changé depuis des années et doivent perdre des clients vis à vis de l'hôtellerie traditionnelle. Chambre petite , salle d'eau exigüe avec w.c. , lavabo à coté du lit. Nous avons payé 72.65€ la nuit alors que 2 jours plus tard nous avons payé 95€ petit déj compris à l'Ibis style de Fréjus.

La chambre était mal isolée, un peut trop petite et surtout la propreté est plus que douteuse. J’ai retrouvé un cheveux dans mon lit, la salle de bain était salle, le derrière de la tv hyper poussière… Les murs présentent des taches suspectes et j’avais au-dessus de ma tête (lit superposé), des toiles d’araignées. La propreté est le premier critères dans la sélection d’hôtel et je ne retournerais plus dans ces hôtels « bon marché ». Rapport qualité prix plus que moyen (80€/ nuit avec déjeuner basique)

The hotel is really nice & in a good location. The room was lovely, comfortable bed & good shower. Hotel & rooms are spotlessly clean & reception staff friendly. Breakfast was a different story. The girl who worked in the beakfast room was unfriendly & actually quite hostile towards us. The language barrier didn't help & I accept my French is not good. But she knew we wanted orange juice & that there was none in the machine & she didnt show us the fresh orange machine, luckily another guest showed us it. I showed her my cafe au lait with no milk in it & she shrugged her shoulders & walked away. The scrambled eggs were flat cold, in fact all the 'hot' food was cold !! Breakfast was definitely not worth the money.

Very lack lustre check in and no availability in the restaurant when we asked to book. Was told we can go to the bar. Receptionist did try one restaurant for us but that too was full so we went to the bar. Acknowledged a staff member as we arrived and sat outside in the courtyard. Watched countless other people get served before us. Must have been because it was getting dark and they couldn’t see us. No lights or candles. Eventually got a recycled menu from a nearby table but was totally ignored for 30 minutes. Got up and left. Complained on the way out. Took our room number but nothing else. Although many restaurants nearby were also full we found a great place in the centre and had way better service for half the price. The suite we had was excellent though. Roomy and spacious with a very comfy bed and nice bedding. Went to have a look at the pool on the 7th floor. Don’t bother. It’s not good and even at dusk there were no lights on. Funny, this place does seem to have an issue with lighting. Many lights don’t work, bulbs are missing from many fittings or are constantly strobing. Breakfast was very average for a 5 star hotel and the service was not great either. There was a previous comment about the place looking like a private hospital. Yes, I would agree. Would I stay again? No, definitely not. Needs a reclassification to four star. It massively falls short of 5 stars and the team need some major training.
