Ibis Bonn - Bonn, Germany     

Stayed here for 3 nights over Easter 2008 with a group of others in a classic car club. Good points - the hotel is easy to find, it has a secure (paid for) garage and is clean. Not so good - the rooms are very small and unusually for Germany, we found many of the staff sprechen keine Englisch, so a good opportunity to practise and improve your German! We stayed for 3 nights and were unable to unpack our bag, being forced to live out of a suitcase as there was only hanging space for a couple of coats and very little or no shelf space. I have never seen a bathroom so small, either - I know you don;t generally need a lot of space, but having to exit the smallest room to pull your trousers back up is a *bit* excessive. Most of the staff seemed to be Polish, Russian or from the former East Germany, judging by their name badges and the languages they did speak. But we got by without too much problem. So, if you are only staying for one night, it's fine - but for a longer stay, I'd find somewhere else.

I guess you get what you pay for here. It was as cheap as chips and so we shouldn't have expected comfort! The bed was REALLY uncomfortable, partly because there was only 1 very thin pillow on each bed, so we asked for another pillow and were told that there weren't any. Seriously. This hotel has 147 rooms and NO extra pillows anywhere in the building?? So we ended up folding up our clothes and sleeping on them to make it more comfy. The bathroom was adequate and would remind you of the bathrooms on a ferry. However the breakfasts were great.
