Ibis Styles le Mans Centre Gare

This is a difficult review to write. We have been staying in Ibis Styles hotels in France for many years and would normally rate them highly. Fine examples of these are in Saumur and Beaune. The problem seems to be that that there seems to be complete confusion as to the way these hotels are catagorised. We have just stayed in a straightforward Ibis in La Rochelle and the interior decoration was almost identical to an Ibis Styles. The only difference seems to be that breakfast is included in the Styles brand. The Ibis Styles in Le Mans is no doubt well run . But the building is tired and the decoration and entrance is underwhelming. It just didn’t seem to reflect the Styles brand . The breakfast was enjoyable but perhaps not quite up to the standard of other Styles hotels we have visited. However the price was extremely competitive which was a big plus and so we presume that this is where the main difference lies. But all the same , the brand in our view is in danger of being compromised. The staff in Le Mans were very helpful and friendly and the beds comfortable. The location too was excellent. Hence the difficulty in writing this review!

Accor Hotels you cannot be serious???? THIS hotel is an Ibis Style????? I have NEVER stayed in such a sad, run down and neglected hotel anywhere in the world and this place surely cannot be an Ibis?? From the outside the place looks awful and inside it gets worse, to be honest. We were given a handicapped room (which we had not booked) and there was no kettle, no fridge and the big poster cum headboard was hanging off the wall, but when we protested the reception lady told us that all the rooms are like that. Really. We had no alternative as I had prepayed but this was perhaps the worst Ibis ever. Outside the hotel there were many dropouts begging for money and the stench of urine in the car park was truly awful NEVER AGAIN. For sure.

Was visiting the Le Mans 24 Hour motorcycle event including the sidecars. Hotel located in a good spot to be close to the Gare, within reach of the circuit by a 20 minute Tram ride and with a few shops and restaurants to keep you fed. Room spacious and clean, Breakfast well sufficient and staff lovely. Would stay again.

Seuls atouts : Hôtel bien situé, bonne literie. Accueil triste et peu avenant à l’arrivée dans une entrée sombre et peu agréable. Décoration sinistre et triste peu attractif. Ascenseurs peu rassurants … Ensemble anonyme et peu agréable. Rapport qualité prix peu probant.

Toujours très agréables les IBIS STYLES dans toute la FRANCE. Un seul bémol, il était difficile de suspendre la chemise et le blouson dans l'emplacement prévu à cet effet tellement c'était étroit. Hôtel propre Bon petit déjeuner. Personnel sympathique Bagagerie très utile.

Situé sur la place directement à la sortie sud de la gare. Pratique si vous venez en train. Si vous arrivez en voiture le parking (très médiocre voir photos) de l'hôtel est à 7€ /nuitée. La chambre est propre et bien décorée mais bien en dessous de certains ibis Styles. Petit déjeuner assez complet sauf la baguette vraiment pas terrible. L'accueil est moyen.
