Ibis Budget Thionville Yutz

Standard Ibis Budget stay. Location was not the best for my interests. Room and service was standard. There was a light that stayed on the whole night. Couldn't turn it off. No elevator.

We booked this as a one night stopover returning from a European holiday. The hotel was not clean on arrival, and the corridors and reception area were full of rubbish and cages containing dirty sheets, pillows etc. Check in was quick but getting into the room with the PIN code was a nightmare and took a good five minutes. The room was basic, not overly clean and did not resemble the marketing photos. The sink is in the room, as is the shower, and only the toilet is in a separate room behind a door. The sink had lots of cigarette burns round it and the shower head is fixed; my wife is 5’ 4” and the water shot over her head onto the opposite wall. The fixed head also meant the floor outside was soaking wet when stepping out. The weather was hot and as there was no air conditioning, we had to have the window wide open (if you have children, it’s worth bearing in mind there are no safety catches on them) which from a security perspective was concerning. More cigarette burns were on the windowsill, and we noticed the tarpaulin covering part of a damaged roof. On the plus side, the location is quiet and we were not disturbed. For some reason, few places appeared to be open locally, and we ate at McDonald's for dinner. As the breakfast in the hotel the next morning looked shockingly poor (again, nothing like the photos) we looked for somewhere else for breakfast - even the McDonald’s didn’t open until 11am, so we just hit the road. In summary, this is quite possibly the worst hotel we’ve stayed in and we definitely won’t return.

Hotel clearly at the bottom of the pile. Run down exterior with part of the building covered with tarpaulin. Inside not much better. No lifts. Stairs had cages of stuff in them. Needs a major face lift. Air conditioner hardly worth bothering with and room stifling hot when only 22’C outside. Dread to think what it will be like when hotter.
