ibis budget Saarbruecken Ost

Mostly everything here is good, and those things which are not so good are beyond the hotel's control, such as a paucity of local restaurants. For evening meals, I recommend the oriental across the street, 400m walk to the east: good Japanese & Asian fusion (see picture below) or a superb Lebanese to the west, about 600m walk, otherwise arrive after eating elsewhere. Parking is ideal. The hotel is quiet. It's easy to find after a long drive, none of those end-of-day stress problems at all. I recommend this hotel for budget travellers - and those above, just wanting a stress-free end to their day. Great cleaners! The hotel owes its cleaners a lot. The rooms are spotless - picture below. Friendly reception, multilingual. I did not have breakfast here, preferring on the road food.

The breakfast looked a little stark so I avoided it and chose to eat on the road but that's no reason not to stay away. For budget-wary travellers, and for long-day drivers there is little to not like about this hotel. The wifi was initially a problem but you can switch off and on again the router, behind the TV set, and then it works fine.

Great location (at a traffic intersection but the location is very convenient for public transport, also for going to France). The room itself was quiet, bed was very comfortable, the room had minimal furniture, which I really liked - nice small table, clean modern shower, the room was not full of unnecessary furniture or too many pillows - I like a simple, but comfortable room, which I had here. Last but not least - staff were very friendly.

That I didn’t have time to stay longer at this hotel - I would have liked to have stayed longer.

Bed was very comfortable. Room size was just enough for two people. Location was a 20 minute walk to downtown. Shower water temp and pressure was great. I liked the additional bunk bed which allowed our daughter to stay a while. This was a three night stay but we added a fourth night due to everything going well. Property honored my request for a top floor room not facing a busy road. Property repaired the A/C quickly when I reported an issue.

Breakfast menu was limited and didn't look very fresh but other optons are nearby.

The location was okay, very close to all the places we needed to get to. Check in was easy and relatively quick. The staff was very friendly too and they all spoke English which made life a lot easier.

After check-in we had to take a picture of the screen to capture our access keys. The printer wasn't working. Luckily my wife saw it written on top of the screen but it wasn't well positioned nor was it big enough to notice right away. I also still prefer Keys over access codes, unless I can change to code to a personal one.

Breakfast was good for the size of the hotel. Air conditioning was very good particularly in the weather but would occasionally cut out in the night. Room was a little smaller than expected but fantastic for the price.

The air conditioning cut out occasionally for a few hours which might have been for safety reasons (to prevent overheating) but it wasn't overly appreciated in the very hot weather. The lift buttons are a little sensitive. The hotel as a whole was brilliant.

Nice room, Big and comfy. Not far from City centre : 15/20 minutes by foot ( but too far for kids and elderly people) or tram car. Big parking Space. Breakfast staying AT 7.

WE arrived in the morning. Room not ready. So we just paid and left. If WE had not phoned to get infos WE would not have had Accessed the room when back because no room number nor code . The lady AT the desk did not say anything. Shorty After WE arrived After 10.30, the hotel was closing...for cleaning I Guess. So WE had to leave.

The room was very well set out. Unlike some hotels where the washbasin, shower and toilet are all in one room, they were all in separate rooms, so much better. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The carpark cannot contain more than 20 to 30 cars, when the hotel has probably 96 rooms. This means that some people have to park in a side road in an industrial area.

Bed and shower OK, nothing special but exactly what I needed, nothing obsolete. Very easy check-in, when the terminal is working. Romantic night view from the window, a very prosaic daily one.

The check-in terminal was halted, needed to contact staff to restart it. The window handle seemed broken, impossible to open. Some details need fixing.

comfortable room adequate for one night stop. Breakfast very good and well presented.

Booking in procedure as I did not receive a number to book so had to contact some body on the intercom who was very helpful. The car parking was a problem as I had a roof box which just cleared the entrance but the parking place are higher than the floor level so I could not get in.

V comfortable beds, small but perfect for a quick overnight stop. Free parking next to hotel was good. A good night's sleep was had by all.

Arrived late so no receptionist, and I didn't have a booking number so had to use call button to ask for booking number which they got wrong a few times. With 3 tired children, the booking in process was a bit painful. I had assumed I'd paid via booking.com but on the screen it said I needed to pay for the rooms then. It's prints a ticket with room number and key code access.
