Ibis Styles Dijon Nord Valmy

We arrived in a heavy rainstorm and had a difficult time finding the hotel. The hotel needs its own clear and visible direction sign at the turn-off at its nearest roundabout. We had a ‘comfort room’ and it was precisely that; very comfortable. A nice room, good walk-in shower, Nespresso machine and kettle. Good breakfast. A very comfortable king size bed. Parking outside the hotel or lock-up car park. A great Italian restaurant DelArte only two minutes walk away. Easy tram connection in to Dijon after a short walk. Tram cost€1.70 each way.

What a lovely hotel both receptionists were very helpful and friendly, The room was clean, bright and modern with lots of room for all our biking gear, the bed was extremely comfortable and a good choice of pillows. Continental Breakfast was great a choice of fresh boiled eggs or creamy scrambled with bacon hash browns and pancakes. A good selection of cold meats, cheese, yoghurts and fruit. Absolutely delicious freshly squeezed orange juice and coffees. The receptionist gave us a coupon for 20% off the Italian restaurant opposite the hotel. The only downside was there isn’t anywhere in the hotel to get a cold drink or hot and there was no tea or coffee tray in the room. So pack a collapsible kettle or there is a Mac Donald’s opposite for drinks.

Thin walled rooms, hear every movement from neighbouring and below rooms. everytime next door room opened or shut their doors, was alot!! the roof panels near door lifted up and down with the air movement in my room making a loud crack noise. Staff friendly, hence the one star otherwise it would be 0
