ibis Styles Konstanz

Not bad...

The hotel was very nice and well kept. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was also good, there was even a lady going around with treats for the kids (could be more healthy choices here though honestly)! The location is not very central, but Constance is easily reachable in under 10 minutes with a bus that stops about 100m away from the hotel. All in all it was a very comfortable, nice hotel and my family and I had a very nice stay.

Ok, so location isn’t necessarily a selling point for this hotel. It’s in front of an Aldi supermarket, there’s a casino, a Chinese restaurant and even a Burger King round the corner. All of this off a main road (you can’t hear it in the hotel) and a car park - which you can’t use as it belongs to Aldi. On the other hand, it’s super convenient. It’s only a 10 minute direct bus ride to the main station in Konstanz and the port. The hotel is brand new. It’s clean and modern. The bathrooms in the family rooms are rather small; more appropriate for a single bedroom. But there’s a kitchen with a fridge which is not available in double or single rooms. Breakfast serves fresh fruit and a good selection of foods. Coffee machines dispense half decent coffee.

Hotel staff permanently not available. Long que is waiting at the reception desk. Price to value ratio so, so....

This Ibis Styles is a rather bland hotel. Ask for a room on the street side because there is a noisy night-club somewhere on the parking-lot side. My double room was clean but pretty bland. The WiFi works well. The bed is firm and the bathroom functional. No sample lotion or such: just a liquid soap dispenser on the wall. Service is neither too friendly nor too hostile. The self-serve breakfast is ok but not memorable, and the breakfast area can be really crowded. But the hotel is in a totally uninteresting part of town. The most appealing feature around is the bus stop. The bus does not run very often, but will take you downtown (main train station) for €2.40. If you know the way, the walk takes about 30 min but through uninteresting neighborhoods. All of this makes one wonder why a room costs upward of €140? The experience is hardly worth half that price.
