Very pleasant hotel, reasonable rates.
Very pleasant place. Standard Ibis hotel, but none the worse for that. Comfy room, quiet, great bed. Well located near the harbour, with easy parking. Lots of restaurants in the area. We just needed a place for a couple of nights while visiting family and it was perfect for that.

Bad night sleep
Stayed here a few times and always slept soundly. This time was not the case, the pillows were very flat and hard, even the spare one in the cupboard. Disappointed as i said I have always had a good night sleep here.
Room was 225

Nice basic hotel - good location - lovely staff.
Nice hotel. Rooms basic and small but very clean. Staff superbly helpful. Bathrooms are a bit odd, accessible via a raised step, no bath - bit like stepping into an airport toilet. If you want an accessible bathroom ?(i.e. walk-in, I found out on arrival) you need to request (which I will do next time). Good location, close to harbourside and bus stops. The staff made this hotel really, very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast options also including gf options.

Alright, good location
Hotel was nice, staff were friendly, breakfast was ok, room was alright but we were given disabled room which was fine as we checked in early which they accommodated us. Mattress was sparse and uncomfortable and floor was dirty and dusty so it stuck ti our feet, shower curtain kept breaking and fan was extremely noisy during the night which we turned off in the end. Could do with a bit of a spruce up, rest was ok

Just ok.
Lack of acknowledgment when arriving to check in. Two staff focused on computer rather than saying hello and asking me to wait a moment. Similar on check out. Woken at 8.45am by someone drilling the next room which was disappointing.

Bed was uncomfortable, due to the bed being made of a twin into a double, the mattress was for twin beds and not a double, leaving a gap down the middle, very uncomfortable bed, on a positive breakfast was very good

Listen and Help
Great hotel great location but..... Seems there is a need to bring the staff up to the standards of the hotel, seemed to have real difficulty understanding our general requests and questions even down to as simple as ordering a drink.. get them up to speed guys. It's not there fault there swimming in the deep end with no buoyancy aids.

Short Break
We had a lovely stay at the IBIS Central where the staff we friendly and helpful.
The location was ideal for our trip as it aloud us to walk around everywhere easily.
The parking at the millennium car park was ideal and very close to the hotel.
