ibis budget Cherbourg - La Glacerie

We stayed for 1 night before catching the ferry home. It was ideally located for the port with free parking. The budget hotel was very clean and well kept. The beds were comfortable and had a decent shower. We had the breakfast and it was good. We ate our evening meal in the more upmarket ibis next door and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a stop over!

The only fault was the divider screen in our bedroom wouldnt pull across as the runner was broken. This proved awkward for our teenager daughter however as we were only there for the 1 night, we improvised with hooking it across as best we could to give her privacy when showering and changing. ( the shower cubicle is in the room not in a separate bathroom). Apart from that, all was good

The room was a lot better than the last one we stayed at here. Bigger and more comfy. And our car was parked right outside our window! Staff are lovely, and really helpful.

Breakfast isn't great to be honest. The breakfast room is too small and there isn't enough space for everyone. I was getting a coffee, and there was quite a queue behind me waiting for orange juice and coffee. No croissants and very little bread, but when I went back in about 10 mins the baskets were full. More space needed definitely.

Plenty of parking, friendly staff, excellent food in the restaurant, reasonable breakfast. Large bed was comfortable but the third bed in the room turned out to be a bunk over thr main bed- very odd! And a health hazard, my fiancee hit her head on it several times.

Only problem we had was that googlemaps has a spurious location for tge hotel- some 50minutes away from where it is- wierfly it also says “permanently closed”. Unfortunately we couldn’t get through on the phone to thr hotel so ended up wasting time going there, at the end of a long days driving. The hotel staff were shown the problem so hopefully it will get fixed.

The hotel was conveniently located close to the ferry port, and also major routes out of the city. It was in an area like an industrial park, with a large supermarket and McDonalds in close proximity. The hotel had locked security gates, making it very safe and with my pet, there was space to walk around on grass surrounding the building to go to bathroom. At 3/4am a well lit area is reassuring. The staff were very friendly, and checkin and out were easy. I would suggest a box or option to take breakfast away, would have been more convenient for me with dog. Shower had lots of hot water, also soap/shampoo provided was good quality. Plenty of towels and toilet paper.The the room was efficient and neatly laid out and the bed very comfortable. My dog was very relaxed and there was no noise to disturb us. Overall place was clean and well kept and a very pleasant experience

Duvet was warm, perhaps option of a lighter duvet and blankets, but room was warm without it. Breakfast was challenging with my dog, so a way to take the items with me to my room or away on journey would have been good.

The room. The breakfast

There is an issue between booking.com and Accor over kids' breakfasts and whether they are included in the boking.com price. Although the manager allowed our 7 year old daughter to have breakfast - we were made to feel as though it was an issue we had to own and not the hotel. Humbly suggest you get this sorted out between you as after 7 hours on the rod, I was not impressed at being told our daughter couldn't have breakfast...

Breakfast was very sparse regarding croissants & pastries bread . We asked if there was any left , as we only had a choice of a couple of cereals, and we went down to breakfast at 8.15 am . We were told they didn’t want to cook anymore . We stopped on our way home to the. Charente and bought breakfast . Which we thought was unfair as we had paid for breakfast in the hotel.

Ideal stopover for a UK ferry crossing. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast was good value. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were travelling by motorbike and, whilst the room was “cosy”, there was ample hanging space and shelving for all our gear. The restaurant next door does home made meals changed on a daily basis.

Our 2-night stay at Ibis Cherbourg was excellent. We highly recommend this hotel. The warm welcome and the help we received from the receptionists was incredible. All the staff we came into contact was amazing. With the ever changing/conflicting requirements for our return to the UK, combined with an exhausting drive in storm conditions we were on our knees on arrival but left the Ibis left feeling positive and able to tackle anything.

Everything was perfect for us.

We used La Glacerie as our last stop before taking the ferry home. We availed of the 'late check-out' facility (an extra €10 that allowed us stay in our room until 4pm) which was brilliant, as our ferry didn't leave until 9pm. Super clean, functional room with TV, air-con and excellent shower!! The young lady we dealt with the arrange the 'late check-out' could not have been more helpful!!

Nothing - all was as we wanted.

Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and ok evening meal. The staffed helpful accommodated our bikes in the boiler room.

As we arrived by bicycle the location was extremely difficult to locate and access due to it being off main roads. We enjoyed our stay but could not recommend this hotel if you are cycling.
