Ibis Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Busy and loud location , ok hotel . Possibly wouldn’t return . Simple for what it is , but stayed in better . Staff friendly . My room Was warm Whitch was welcome as really cold outside weather .

I walked in whilst in the area, thinking this might be a good place to work for a couple of hours. On walking in through their lobby, I was confronted by two aggressive individuals, completely unidentified by any badges or indication that they worked for Ibis. They squared up to me a few inches from my face in an extremely threatening fashion. They subsequently identified themselves as “security” but gave no explanation as to their behaviour or why they were trying to buffet me out of the building. Once outside they were joined by a very young member of staff, this time wearing a tee shirt and Ibis badge, but they offered no apology as to why I had been treated in this unprofessional and threatening manner, even referring to me as “mate”. What is this place? It seems to have been taken over as some kind of accommodation for migrants, but there is no signage to indicate that the hotel isn’t open to the public. Frankly my experience was extremely disturbing and has left me very shaken. Appalling!

Staff very polite, room very clean, but this hotel is next to Corinium avenue , all the time very noisy, unable to sleep during nights, my room window was toward the avenue. If you want quite place and a good sleep and your sleep easily disturb by noise I don’t recommend this hotel,

I think that some of the reviews are slightly unfair. It is important to consider the context of a visit and what it costs. The room decor is straight forward and unexciting and the bathroom ‘pods’ are no fuss. However, everything is very clean and comfortable. There is good Wi-Fi and a convenient restaurant. All in all, exactly what I was looking for.
