拉格拉斯里3星級酒店

A one night stay in this property , a pretty typical Ibis property…. Location is great for one night , outside the town , there is a Mc Donald’s nearby as well as a supermarket. Room is similar to most Ibis properties, I still find the set up and colour scheme a bit prison like … but it was quiet , had good temperature control and a nice enough bed and adequate bathroom facilities, it has the added benefit of a curtain to separate the sink etc from the main room if there are two sharing . . There were no tea and coffee facilities in the room .. the WiFi worked well. Staff were helpful and the breakfast in the morning was good . A good choice for a short stay in Cherbourg.

We opted for IBIS budget because we needed accommodation for the whole family, 3 adults and 2 (adolescent) kids. They gave us two double rooms, for a reasonable price (around 64 eus/room). At first glance, the rooms look like those of a hospital, which is not the best. However, they turn out to be comfy, fine for one-night stop-and-go staying. The hotel is very basic but very clean, reasonably comfortable, and cheap. Located outside the city, it is very close to a McDonald's (just in front of the hotel), a supermarket, and a boulangerie (3' walking). Breakfast should be around 7 eu each, but we did not try it (we opted for a couple of croissants from the afore-mentioned boulangerie. The entrance is side by side with that of the bigger brother IBIS, of higher level and more costly. Doors tend to slam when released, which may be bothering if you wish to sleep longer in the morning. Also, ground-floor room' window looks directly into the parking lot, so that you can't open the curtains if you want to maintain privacy. Upper-floors rooms should be better on this respect.

An unusual building in that all the rooms have doors that lead directly outside, therefore there are no corridors as such. There was ample free parking, but at check-in time in the afternoon the reception desk was closed and I had to use an automated machine to obtain my code for the room. There was an issue getting the door to open but there was an English speaking member of staff I could speak to by phone for help. The room was very compact compared to the B&B Hotel in Ouistreham. The shower was cramped and old fashioned with curtain rather than glass shield. The linen was clean. The room was spartan overall, as you would expect of this hotel chain. I had a good night's sleep, so no complaints about that. It's situated on the outskirts of the city with easy road access to the ferry port and main routes east and south. Reasonable value for money in France.
