The Ibis Troyes Centre, part of the Accor chain, is a modern, basic hotel about a 10 minute walk from the old town part of the city. Our room was very large, quiet, with a queen and a twin bed. The bed was comfortable. There was a large, modern bathroom, though the lighting in it was poor. A/C. Free limited wifi. Reception was friendly and helpful. We had some difficulty finding the hotel until we noticed the street signs pointing to it - so look for them when you reach the city! The nearby Hippopotamus Restaurant was quite good. Loved this city!!

the Ibis Troyes is part of a complex of hotels,a Mercure and All Seasons. We paid to park in the car park(9euros) and we probably did not need to do that as we could have parked on the street. It is easy to walk into the centre of Troyes from the hotel. We didn't have breakfast,probably a mistake as a juice, small coffee and a plain croissant cost 6 euros in a small backstreet bar.

Easily found, good rooms, and within an easy walk of the old town for a great choice of shops and restaurants. Wifi allowance a bit mean, but staff helpful and cheerful.
Beds were comfortable, got a reasonable sleep, and easy to get out of town and back onto the motorway north.

Location

The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the centre of town, in a complex of Accord hotels, a cinema and a couple of restaurants. There is external parking next door which offers free parking for 2.5 hours. Other than that you are looking at street parking from what I could see. We made use of the secure underground car park at 9€.

Staff

The reception staff were pleasant and efficient and spoke perfect English, which helps...

Room size, comfort, amenities and cleanliness

The room was a decent size and clean. The bathroom is essentially an inset pod in the corner with a good sized and powerful shower. You get a flat screen tv with CNN, BBC world news and lots of French channels. No coffee facilities but that's normal I think in France. Also in common with other hotel's in France is the small single pillows and the very firm bed! So not the best night's sleep but I think that is partly a cultural divide on mattresses...
The only real issue was the warmth of the room. There was air-con but it seemed to be struggling to cope. There is free wifi limited to 200mb per day and only one user - so if you have a laptop and iPad you need to take turns.

Value

At €57 (ex-parking) I thought it was good value. Would I stop again, hmm not sure I could cope with the bed for another night.
