Ibis Avignon Sud

Emergency stop over and pleased to eventually find the hotel. Not the part of the city a tourist might naturally seek out. Room was adequate in terms of bed but a bit too small for easy access with suitcases. Reception was less than friendly to be honest which is why only two stars given. A smile upon our arrival might have been nice after a long drive in the car, lucky for them the waitress in the restaurant was pleasant and served us what was a good meal for the price.

Stayed here for 2 nights during our drive from Switzerland to Spain. Location is good, just a few km from the center of Avignon but note it is surrounded by commerce as it’s situated within a retail/ business park. Considering it’s location it felt really quite tranquil and the noise insulation of the rooms very good - you can hear no traffic, not even the very noisy crickets! The rooms were small, but clean, nice white bedding. The bathrooms look to have been renovated recently, again small but modern with nice products provided. No one came to service our room during our stay which I would have expected as we stayed 2 nights. AC worked fine and was much needed. We ate at the restaurant a few times including breakfast and the food was surprisingly good ( the burger in particular). There is a small kids menu and a few activities/ games the children can play with whilst there. The pool was a great way to cool down in the heat although the pool looked a little tired and in need of a good clean around the edges. The communal stairs and hallways leading to the rooms really do need the carpet replaced as it smelled pretty unpleasant. I don’t know if this is down to dogs being allowed in the hotel but it really wasn’t a nice smell despite appearing clean. Staff were, with 2 exceptions, quite friendly and helpful.

Freshly renovated Ibis with very friendly staff! We came very late in the night and the young lady was extremely warmly and service orientated! I guess we saw the General Manager also during our check-in. On the next morning the same gentleman helped at the breakfast which is with 11,50€ fair! All in all worth for our stay over or more if you want to enjoy the pool!

- Hotel has NO Elevator (in the year 2023!) - AC is working very poorly and is loud - cushions were dirty and had to be changed - we had three towels for 5 persons (?) - Food choice at breakfast is just mediocre - Tables are not cleaned and service is slow - the building looks old and dirty - simply NOT worth the money, mediocre at best
