Ibis Troyes Centre

Ibis can be great. This one was not. They didn’t inspire confidence on arrival by not having the room types available despite booking them in January. One of the two rooms was supposed to be a twin but they’d replaced it with a double plus sofabed. The receptionist said the sofabed would be perfect for a teenager. That might have been right for a 5ft teenager. The room was also full of flies and so it was changed for a standard double. In that room the air con controls were hanging off the wall and worked only intermittently. In the other room the bathroom door didn’t shut and the shower didn’t stay in the holder. That’s perfect if you want to shower by holding the attachment. The lift remains a mystery. Getting it to go to the right floor quickly is a bit like cracking a safe. But if you’re in no rush it does the job. Come on ibis- you can do better. Look to your colleagues in nearby Langres who run a great hotel.
