ibis budget Saint-Étienne Centre Gare Châteaucreux

This was probably the best budget hotel I stayed in during the two week long road trip around France. Good location, great facilities, excellent staff, good breakfast, secure underground parking and an attached pub/restaurant offering discounts to hotel residents.

No complaints

Underground parking was good

Room was basic and small without much furniture

Clean and helpful staff. Near the main railway station and tramway, so was easy to move around.

The breakfast could have been better at least with some eggs.

Comfortable, “simple” hotel, in front of train and tram station. 15 min walk from city centre.

It's value for money according to the Ibis business model. Well located to the railway station and with trans to the city and modern art gallery.

Location

The bed is not comfortable and no good pillows, parking is small

Location, room size, cleanliness, good shower

No water in room for drinking, not enough place to put suitcase. Breakfast is not good value.

Good location. Easy parking

The rooms were not soundproof as mentioned. With a baby it is a must not to distrube the other guest.Therefor we only stayed one night.

Clean room, big parking spots, attentive staff, silent.

Beds are small, especially the third one. And because it was a retractable one, you don't have a head end, which can be terrible for certain people.I'd also say that it shouldn't cost as much as it does but then again, all hotels in France are way too expensive for what they offer.

Very good location, easy to find. Very clean and good hot shower. Bed was comfortable, could have done with an extra pillow. It is very basic, and low cost, but good value. The breakfast not quite as good as Hotel Ibis in Moulins, but still very nice.

an extra pillow in the room, and something by the bed (shelf?) to put a cup of water on, and alarm clock....

Standard budget ibis but newer improved modern design colours and functionality Reception impersonal and no ambience in downstairs area Excellent for overnight stay for train connections. Located just opposite train station Room clean. Super comfortable bed and linens. Very quiet day and night. Excellent sleep Rooms on one side outlook to a vibrant red building. Overpowering unless you love red. The other side wide outlook to hills in distance. Wifi fast stable

Room very small but clean, functional and comfortable. Great shower, nice toiletries provided. Room had a flat screen TV, air con and very little else. Decent bed and pillows.Staff were good, the lad on reception spoke English and was very helpful. Breakfast ok but like everything in France, very expensive.Location very good for travelling, train and tram stations literally across the road.

Too expensive for what you get, £85+ a night including breakfast is expensive to me.Reception/breakfast area feels like you’re in IKEA, breakfast was ok but costs £9.00. Lot of noise from the trams even from the 3rd floor. Completely lacks any charm or character, totally soulless but it’s an IBIS catering mainly for workers/business people from what I could see.

The breakfast had been fresh and enough fair.The room is nice, very clean and quietThe staff is very nice.City center is quite close by 10 - 15 minutes walking.

The breakfast variety had been limited: no eggs and no vegetables.

This Budget Ibis was much nicer than the one we stayed in Paris. It was relatively new, the room was larger and better equipped (bigger TV). Thus it just had a nicer vibe!

The mattresses and pillows are very basic. I don't know if this is a European thing. It was also funny to sleep in a closet; one could say a lot more about that, but I won't. The Mirror should have filled the entire bathroom wall rather than being a funky arrow. But that's a first-world problem.

Clean and new feeling. Good selection of TV channels.

Breakfast was more limited than typical Ibis. Espresso machine was out of service.

Passable

Room with "extra large bed" didn't really have a large bed. First time ever we had to pay a deposit in one of the Ibis hotels.It was 19 feb until now am waiting to receive my deposit

Nice hotel, very close to the train station and not far from the city center. Nice rooms and bathrooms. Breakfast was nice.

The street was noisy in the early morning.
