As always Ibis hotels are fresh and clean and have the things I need (toilet, shower, tv, posibility to recharge batteries, etc.). At some places, they doors are a bit too loud sounding, although I don't remember if that was the case here.
I read from others here that the location is outside the centre. Having a car, I didn't even notice that. On the contrary, I appreciate that the hotel had its own parking space just outside the door.
When arriving, and during the night, two young girls served as receptionists. Perhaps they were unexperienced or something, because they seemed pretty reserved and sort of uncomfortable in their role. It also seemed as if cleaning had been interupted abrubtly, because two dirty towels were left in the bathroom (there were clean ones too, so no problem). At 3 or 4 o'clock in the night, I was awaken by some loudspeaking drunk people (they spoke German). They continued making noise for several minutes, and I had to open my door to ask them to be a bit more quiet. Despite the reception was in the same corridor just 20 meters away, the repecptionists seemed to be absent. I mentioned this in the morning, to the woman (the manager??) working in the reception during checkout, and I could see she took my feedbak seriously, which was enough for me. By the way, I stayed there on a friday or saturday night, with lots of tourists from other European countries staying at the hotel, so the incident is not much of a big deal.
I will have no problems visiting the hotel again.

Sweden is very expensive for hotels and just about everything else, so I was happy when I found a deal with Ibis for £50 a night on the hotels own website.
The rooms are small but clean. This is a couple of miles out of town but there is a bus stop outside the hotel.
Stayed in vasteras as had a cheap flight, should have stayed in stockholm though as vesteras is the equivalent of Wolverhampton!!!

I treated myself to a night at the Ibis when in Västerås for a social night. I was attracted by its extremely competitive weekend rate of 394kr per night for an en suite room (approx 44 euros / £29) - this is an extremely good price indeed compared wih usual Swedish hotel rates.

I was aware that the hotel was some way out of town - it is; as a guide it is 45 minutes' walk from the railway station. However, there is a bus stop 5 minutes' walk from the hotel and the fairly frequent buses run late and take just 5 minutes into Västerås centre. However, be aware that there are absolutely no facilities (shops, restaurants, bars etc) of any description near the hotel. The area is dominated by a dual carriageway and a clutch of different sports stadiums.

The Ibis is quite an interesting building as its exterior comes from an oil rig in Chile! My room was absolutely spotless and very modern, with a big comfortable bed. The room feels a bit like a cabin on a ship, which probably stems from the oil rig connection and the fact that there is an extra fold away bunk bed accessed with a ladder.

The young staff were very professional, helpful and nice and had local bus timetables to hand. The breakfast was a typical simple Swedish breakfast buffet. There is a simpler breakfast available quite late and very early, which is a nice touch.
