The moment we entered the lobby, we started to wonder whether we were at the right place, or what? Simple, but attractive wooden furnishment, a cute bar, and a smiling, shy, red-faced French (I learned later of course) receptionist. This was our second experience with Ibis hotels, but our friends used the chain a lot in Germany, and they were astonished too. The rooms were standard, OK, but definitely larger and layout was much better, more comfortable. Hard to describe the difference, but we are sure this size and/or layout is more efficient. Cleanliness, tidyness, etc. were up to the standard. Still, we could not understand how hot water ran out at mid-night. Yes, the staff were attentive, but it took more than half an hour to solve the problem. And be careful while loading and unloading your car, do NOT use the trolley, or you may have to run after it and your luggage, because the entrance is a bit tricky. Oh, yes, you can walk downtown in about 20min, but if you're in a hurry, just go straight and you'll find an underground parking just in front of the cathedral and Tio Pepe.

I stayed here for 4 nights. It's outside of town by the highway and although I had a rental car, I found it was an easy walk everywhere. There's a Carrefour hypermarket (and a McD's) right next to the hotel. The room layout is your typical IBIS modular but this one has flat screen TVs. I also appreciated this IBIS did not have those silly wall switches that you have to insert your room card into to get any power in the room. This place is a good choice if you need to worry about finding a spot to park your car (not always easy in Spain).

We live in Andalucia and drove to Jerez de la Frontera. You know what you are getting with the Ibis Hotels which is clean accommodation, friendly service, good breakfast and parking. We were undecided whether to stay here as it was a little way, not much, from the old part of the city, but the fact that it had a pool swung it for us. Close to the ring road but not extremely noisy and there was good double glazing if needed! And its situation enabled us to get round the city quickly and also to pick up the motor way into Puerto de la Maria and catch the ferry over to Cadiz.

Would certainly stay at this Ibis again.
