Bathroom too small

The only issue we had was the size of bathroom, it was pretty tight to move around. Everything else was just what we needed for a lovely night away

A lovely place to stay when attending conferences.

It was my first time at an Ibis hotel, and I enjoyed it. I liked our mini-kettle, the TV set and the delicious breakfast. It is perfectly located, neat the Uni sites.
