I booked Ibis Reading for 4 nights stay from May 1 - May 5th. But based on my quick experience I adjusted my stay to only 1 night.
1. The reception staff was very RUDE and non-challant. Physically "sneering" when I politely quested for a quiet room free of noise and external lights bases on migraines.
2. There was only 1 lift working and I was in Room 1307 on the 13th floor so had to wait a long time to be get a lift upstairs.
3. The WiFi was not working in the rooms, and when I went downstairs to complain, I was met with a "dismissive attitude" by another receptionist staff.
4. The breakfast service was however good.
Never booking an Ibis Hotel again....1st time experience was horrible.
I actually feel I should get a refund because I felt so bad.

Good location. Value for money. Clean room but could do with a bit more eyes for details. There were shoe marks on the wall.

Booked through Trip.com to stay with my wife and our pet dog.
The hotel was described as being pet friendly and allowing people to bring their dogs.
We booked and paid through Trip.com and I left a message with the hotel that we were bring our dog.
We paid the non refunderable payment which was slightly less than the refunderable booking fee.
When we arrived and checked in, the hotel said we needed to pay an extra £10 to bring the dog.
We were there, we had travelled 200 miles to get there, we paid in full to Trip.com for the booking.
And NOW they want this extra money.
I said no I would not pay and after some discussiuon IBIS decided not to charge us.
THIS IS WRONG and TRIP.COM and IBIS HOTEL need to sort out the booking process to make it so if you have paid in advance, that is all done and no extra fees are chargeable.
I am not imressed with TRIP.com or IBIS HOTEL.
