Ibis Nevers

“A nice alternative stop-over hotel, if a little past it's best in places”

We stopped over here en-route from the South of France to Calais. We really enjoyed our evening in Nevers, partly as it coincided with the end of a local festival - but even without, the town seems to have a lot going for it - a nice river, some good restaurants, and generally pleasant vibes.

We stopped over here en-route from the South of France to Calais. We really enjoyed our evening in Nevers, partly as it coincided with the end of a local festival - but even without, the town seems to have a lot going for it - a nice river, some good restaurants, and generally pleasant vibes. The hotel is well located, being about a 10-15min walk over the Loire Bridge from the main bits of the town centre (a nice distance we found). Parking was free and there seemed plenty - CCTV/barriers would have been nice given we had a lot in the car. The common areas of the hotel (bar/restaurant) are in good nick. The rooms are fine - they were clean, and the bathroom was good. The bed was very comfortable and the air con was appreciated in the heatwave!!!! There are quite a few areas in which the hotel feels dated - mostly the pebbledash wallpaper that is everywhere, and the fact that some doors are quite utilitarian (and no lifts for some rooms). The rooms are also small (partly because the bed is v. big!). None of this was a major issue - a bit of refurb would really improve the hotel. Breakfast though was really good - excellent continental selection and all tasted good. Value for money was good also (not much more expensive than more budget options nearby). 7/10 - but a 4 as we had a lovely evening!

We stayed two nights on our way to Italy, which gave us time two wind down and explore Nevers. The Nevers IBIS being well situation to do this. Having stayed before a couple of years ago, we were disappointed to find that the restaurant was presently closed. We ate at the Mercure on the first night we stayed and "did ourown thing" the following night and on our return night two weeks later. Otherwise, we were more than satisfied and would stay again should the occasion occur.
