Ibis Porto Centro, Porto Portugal

What I like about Ibis hotels is the price and the fact that I know what to expect. Ibis Porto Centro has an excellent location on Rua da Alegria. It is walking distance from Sao Bento train station, all the attractions in the center; it is even possible to walk to the Ribeira. This Ibis hotel was fully renovated and it looked very modern. Our room was adequate and clean; bathroom size was on the small side. The staff was friendly and helpful. When you go request a room that is not on the street side since it could be noisy. The only challenge we had was that the room did not have air conditioning and it could get warm especially during the day. Breakfast did not have as many options as in other Ibis hotels in other countries (e.g. France, Germany) but it was cheaper: 6 euros per person vs. 10 euros per person in Paris and Frankfurt.

Ibis Coimbra, Portugal

What I like about Ibis hotels is the price and the fact that I know what to expect. Ibis Coimbra is very well located on Avenida Emidio Navarro across the street from Parque Manuel Braga (parque da cidade, city park) and walking distance from Coimbra train station. Our room was adequate, clean, we had a bath tub (not all Ibis have it). The staff was friendly and helpful, and gave us excellent recommendations about places to visit. When you go request a room that is not on the street side since it could be noisy. The only challenge we had was that the room did not have air conditioning and it could get warm especially during the day.

Ibis Saldanha - Lisbon, Portugal

What I like about Ibis hotels is the price and the fact that I know what to expect. Ibis Saldanha is well located in the Saldanha neighborhood, close to Saldanha metro stop serving red and yellow lines. Our room was adequate, clean, we had a bath tub (not all Ibis have it). The staff was friendly and helpful. When you go request a room that is not on the street side since Avenida Casal Ribeiro is a busy one. The only challenge we had was that the room did not have air conditioning and it could get warm especially during the day. Breakfast did not have as many options as in other Ibis hotels in other countries (e.g. France, Germany) but it was cheaper: 6 euros per person vs. 10 euros per person in Paris and Frankfurt.
