Ibis Budget Dijon Centre Clemenceau

At 150 euros a night, this level of discomfort is hard to accept. You can hear conversations, movement, and even neighboring beds creaking, while doors shutting make the walls shake. The soundproofing is basically nonexistent, more like a budget hostel than a hotel at this price. Ventilation is poor, so the room gets stuffy. Opening the window brings in steady street noise, which makes it difficult to rest.

I wouldn't recommend staying here. The room was cramped and unclean. It might do for a single night if you need a place to rest and have no other choice, or if it's very cheap and you're trying to save. But I wouldn't pay for it unless there were absolutely no alternatives, and I wouldn't come back.

I stopped here while driving between London and the Alps, and would recommend it. There was no traffic noise, so I slept well, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast is a good buffet for an extra 8.5 euros, and secure parking costs another 7.5 euros. There's a casino supermarket a short walk away, along with a couple of cafes. A really good budget hotel.

The breakfast buffet was lovely, with lots of different things to choose from, including lactose-free milk, which I appreciated as someone who's intolerant. The hotel is easy to reach, parking is straightforward, and the lift goes directly to the rooms and reception. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was bigger than I expected, and the bathroom was simple but nice. The tram stop is right by the entrance, less than a two-minute slow walk. After a long drive, I wished there were a restaurant in the hotel so we wouldn't have to go back out to find dinner. We ordered food online, though a proper restaurant meal is always better.
