Ibis Dieppe Val Druel

A reviewer noted in November 2023 that the hotel needed updating, and it seems nothing has changed. The hotel is shabby, it smells of cooking fat, my room stank of sweat (is this due to memory foam mattresses)?, the shower head was broken, and the shower gel dispenser had clearly been empty for some time. On check-in, the receptionist was more interested in doing things her way, than listening, so check-in was laborious. Good things about the hotel: parking, plentiful hot water, and a reasonable breakfast, though the layout of this needs a rethink. It could be a great little hotel, but it isn’t.

Not a good experience. The hotel is shabby in public areas, there is a general smell of cooking fat, and my room stank of sweat (is this due to memory foam mattresses)? The shower head was broken, and the soap dispenser in the shower dispensed…water. Whilst this is effectively a budget hotel, there is no excuse for failing at basics. Good things: free parking, plentiful hot water and a reasonable, if not great, breakfast.

From the moment we walked in to the hotel we were made to feel very welcome, we traveled with our dog & he was also made to feel very welcome. The beds and pillows are the comfiest ever. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great. We ate at the hotel and the food was very good. Lovely walk with our dog through a forest on the doorstep. Would definitely go back and highly recommend this place.

Stop over prior to next days ferry. Have stayed in Ibis all over and never had such a bad experience. Long winding ramp for disabled, better than the 4 stairs. Then the room is down a long corridor after 6 stairs to a lower level. Room was very small. OK for one with hand luggage, not suitable for two with a suitcase. Bed extremely uncomfortable, with extra large duvet cover on single duvet, therefore lots and lots of extra material. To add to your discomfort the mattress was a different size to the bed, ie too large. On the plus side the shower was excellent, good pressure and lots of hot water. Restaurant evening meal OK but very basic; breakfast typical French and plenty of it. Reception/restaurant staff excellent with good understanding of English. We did have a problem finding the place but that was probably my navigation more than anything else. Suitable car parking, and easy drive to port. Not up to Ibis usual standard

I needed somewhere to stay after a late evening ferry arrival. This was it and the usual Ibis Ibis efficiency made it a pleasant experience. Everything worked and I would be happy to return if the same situation occurs.

Arrived in my car from the ferry terminal quick check in good nights sleep breakfast and away on my travels . The hotel was situated for good access to main road so on my way very quickly. The room was easy to find and had a good nights sleep
