Dear Antony, we are glad to read your comment on the reception staff, facilities and comfort. We do our best every day to satisfy our customers. Concerning the choice in the restaurant, we understand very well your point of view. The out of stock was due to a lack of delivery. This was exceptional. The reception informed each customer at the check-in about this. Despite of your deception towards this, we would be pleased to welcome you again. Sincerely. Joanna C. / Hotel receptionnist.

Ok for price
For the price it was as I expected Nothing to write home about but it was clean No hand towels give and shower draws plugged so water built up. The attached resturant was nothing special either. Meat was very limited and not great quality.

There was an odour upon coming into our room which was rather sour smelling . It seemed to disappear after awhile but was unpleasant. A lightbulb was out beside the bed. Although the bed was comfortable, the duvet was very warm… another light blanket would have been good. The breakfast was very tasty. The hotel was good value for money yet it needs some tender loving care to make it sparkle. The housecleaning staff worked hard. The free parking was excellent!

Despite a late check in, there was no problem, staff were very friendly and efficient. Hotel was nice and quiet. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, coffee was lovely. The restaurant was very good, but disappointed no beer available at all the night we were there. Nothing much in the area where the hotel is, but a short drive into St Emilion which is lovely,

The hotel was affordable in terms of price and accessibility but the room was not that clean and not enough space. Yet, still recommendable if you want to visit Saint-Emillion.

On the main road to Saint Emilion and convenient to that city!!!! Breakfast at 15 euros was more than all the other hotels, but was worth it. Although an IBIS hotel, it was one of the best I have stayed at.

St Emilion budget accommodation
This hotel was ideal. It was reasonably priced, the staff were very helpful and efficient. The hotel was full when we stayed so the WiFi was slow.

Lilbourne hotel rather than St Emilion.
We can usually count on Ibis for comfortable beds and good wifi - good for overnighters moving on early the next day. We fancied somewhere close to St Emilion - after a day in the car, a stroll into this pretty town. The hotel is advertised as 1.4km from St Emilion - just right for a walk. It wasn't. 5.3 km on our car sat Nav - not a walk on a cold, misty night. Then - the wifi is down - everywhere. Actually, it was fine in St Emilion - but not at the hotel. Then, the hotel restaurant is being renovated. You can have a cold buffet after 7pm for 14.90€. We chose the drive to St Emilion and enjoyed a three course hot meal for 17€. However, the bed was fine - but one full pillow and four small ones was different. Similarly, two towels and one floor mat - nothing else. We did have the breakfast next morning - 9.90€ each for a good buffet - cold but for the self boiled eggs. No complaints there. While clean and warm, this hotel needs a little more care to bring it up to usual Ibis expectations. Perhaps the restaurant renovation is the start of this. Lovely trees and grass outside and certainly busy with overnighters.

Could be better!
This is ok for a one night stay especially if you prefer to be out of the town. Location is quiet and pleasant however the hotel is very basic clean and somewhat dated. Very disappointed that the restaurant was closed as it was a holiday... no indication was given of this on booking! After a long drive it was not pleasant to have to go out again looking for food! The other downside was our room smelled of stale cigarette smoke this despite the hotel being listed as non smoking area!

Clean and comfortable but lacking a few things
Clean and comfortable the only things lacking were an elevator, better towels, and more than just a bath towel. I prefer to have a hand towel to dry my hands separate from my bath towel -- and there was no wash cloth, either. The towels we did have were old, thin and rough. The restaurant was great for the prices. The staff is very nice. Easy checking in and out.

Property was unkempt and the air conditioner did not work. The desk attendant told us to be patient, it just took awhile to kick on. It never kicked on. We asked for a room discount or a free breakfast and were denied. This was our second time at an Ibis. The first was not good either but we decided to give the hotel chain a second chance. They won’t get a third.

We did not arrive until 6-30 p.m to find that the restaurant was not open, and that we had to travel up to Saint Emilion to find some where. to have dinner. Which we were Pleased. as we had not been there for some twelve years and and it made a lovely moment and a look around the village to which we found an excellent restaurant.

Rural hotel
Not much charm but functional. About five kms from village of St.Emilion and handy to other villages like Pomerol. Our room was clean and everything worked...there's a back entrance into the hotel through the garden which is nice if your room is near there. The breakfast is ten euros extra and standard quality for French hotel breakfasts... espresso machine but no cappuccino, juice, bread, boiled eggs, ham and cheese. Free parking and free wifi - by no password and unprotected.
