ibis Styles Fréjus Saint-Raphaël

Spacious free parking, with a charging facility, is a big plus here. It's good value for money, with the basic amenities covered and some playful colours that look nice. The separate toilet and bathroom are very convenient. It's not a luxury hotel, and the one downside is that the beach is too far to walk to.

The rooms were average. Breakfast and the overall quality were pretty poor: the orange juice machine kept being out of order, there were never any small pots of honey or jam, and even basic things like tomatoes or cucumbers were missing.

The staff were friendly, but the rooms need much more cleaning. Ours was a bit dirty. The low price does match the condition, though. Breakfast was the worst surprise. There wasn't even strong hot water for tea, and we think the scrambled eggs were made from powder. The coffee and tea cups were badly damaged and scratched. Breakfast was really bad. I'd rate the place around three, but it definitely feels like a one-star hotel, not a three-star one. I worked at a three-star ibis in Poland, and it was totally different, much better.

We stopped here while driving through France because it's right by the motorway. We were exhausted, and it turned out to be just right for sleeping and showering. It wasn't uncomfortable at all. The hallways weren't the cleanest, but the rooms were clean and welcoming. For the price, it was a perfect stop.
