ibis Styles Saint Gilles Croix de Vie

We had a balcony room, which was a nice surprise, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was great, especially the brioche Nantaise. There’s a bicycle garage, and the hotel is just a few minutes from town and near a big Super U.

The rooms are large and the location is decent. Breakfast was managed very well, with effective distancing. I wasn’t always convinced by the Covid cleanliness, though: rooms were cleaned but not aired out, and the cleaning staff weren’t wearing masks.

It was hard to communicate because the staff don’t speak English very well. The bedsheet was clean, but the room itself wasn’t, especially the toilet.

The room is nice, though a little small. The bathroom is terrible: the toilet is too close to the wall, and when you sit down you hit the toilet paper holder. Putting the holder under the basin might have been the simple fix.
