This was the 2nd time I have stopped at the Ibis. My son lives 15 minutes drive away in Montgaillard and goes to school in Tarbes so this was an ideal base. The hotel is easy to find on the ring road heading towards Odos. The hotel has a large reception area and bar/restaurant. Since I visited in 2008, a bar menu and room service menu 24/7 has been added and the bar is also open all night. There is a swimming pool (not heated).
The rooms are what you get in an Ibis in the UK, functional but clean with TV with local French Channels. The washroom has a shower.
I've found the hotel quiet on both occasions with staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast is Eur8 but when the double room is costing only Eur39 per night you can't begrudge the cost and you can eat as much as you want - cereal, pastries, bread, yogurts, crepes, orange, coffee.
This hotel is an excellent and cheap base to explore the beautiful town of Tarbes and the countryside of the midi pyranees.
