Ibis Orléans Centre Gare

Location: The hotel is conveniently located directly across from the central train station and within a short walking distance to the historic city center, making it highly accessible for tourists and travelers.

This property is directly across the road from the central Orleans train station and a 10 minute walk from the old city centre. In short, its location for a tourist is excellent. The hotel is good 3 to 4 star standard - clean, comfortable, good bed and bathroom, and reasonably priced. Rooms are small (by our Australian standards, at least) and there is a shortage of clothes storage and hanging space. Apart from that, we found this Ibis to be very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, both in range of foods and drinks offered and price. The dining room was spacious and comfortable. All members of staff with whom we had contact were excellent. That included the cleaner whose English was as non-existent as our French. Through some charades and sign language, we were able to understand each other and she proved her side of the understanding by doing just what we requested, when we requested it. Full marks, both for dealing with linguistically-challenged tourists and for her subsequent service. (So, Ibis, if you're watching - 5th floor on 3-5 Jan - your room service lady deserves a raise:) She was the best exemplar for your brand we came across.) Overall, we were very satisfied with our three night stay. This Ibis was very convenient, clean and comfortable and provided very good service at an excellent price.

I stayed here for 2 nights as it was a convenient place to explore the city and also squeeze in a Paris day trip without the huge prices for many Paris hotels. Being right opposite the station and trains take just over an hour from Paris then fair enough! The hotel was not very exceptional in any way, just a very average Ibis although the breakfast was not bad at all. It wasn't cheap and maybe if I knew the area better I might have come up with a better deal as the city centre itself is really lovely.
