We have stayed here before and found the hotel to be very good value. We weren't disappointed this time either. The hotel is situated right in the centre of everything but still the area is quiet at night i.e. you're not next to a noisy nightclub. The staff are all excellant and made us very welcome, nothing was too much for them. The restaurants in Montpellier are brilliant and we really recommend 'Chez Boris'. We will be back!

My husband and I had a great time staying at IBIS Montpellier. Great location (walking distance from train station - through a gallery hall), great size rooms, nice breakfast choice, billiard table a plus.
The only thing we did not like was the quality of the mattress. That spoiled our sleep :(
But other than that, I recommend for short stays.

The IBIS formula is generally well-know: safe, impersonal rooms neutrally decorated, staff who do a bit of everything (check you in, tend the bar etc) and a competitive price - great for a short stay, a bit of a business hotel but slightly less mercenary. This one however is a cut above the other IBIS hotels because they haven't compromised their location or their bathrooms (and they often do). It is amazingly well-situated, right in the commercial/shopping centre and on the edge of the old town and 10/15 minutes walk from the station. It also has a properly-fitted bathroom. Many other IBIS hotels that I have stayed in have plastic-moulded units (that I suspect are made off-site) that have a ship's cabin feel; they have inferior drainage and get rather smelly as a consequence, but this is NOT the case here. My bathroom was evidently a properly fitted on-site affair that was tiled, properly drained and smelled fresh. The room was huge, the bed was clean and the internet was free and fast. IBIS generally do well with their staff but the ones I had checking me in and out were very professional and well turned-out. The check-out staff in particular were really helpful (they printed out a car hire booking form that I had forgotten and charged me merely "a smile" as payment, which I produced with no problem). I generally can never make it for breakfast so I have no comment on that (and there are plenty of great places to get pastries and coffee nearby anyway). My room was on the 5th floor and although it was weekend in the centre of a city that has a lot of drunken students, I wasn't disturbed by noise. It was also winter, and I was not cold. Their weekend rates are some of the lowest in the city, weekday rates tend to reflect business rates. If I spend another weekend in Montpellier, I will almost certainly stay here again.
