Ibis Cannes Mandelieu

The window in our first room was open and broken hinge you couldn’t close. The next room the pillows don’t have covers and you can see stains on them. There are other peoples hair on the nightstand. There are no mini fridges in room so if you have medicines that need to be in cold you have to go to reception and store it there.

This hotel was very mediocre as a hotel (the shower drain was so backed up the water flooded the floor every use) but their front desk treatment and horrible business practices made this THE WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE of my life! As a long time road warrior and filmmaker who has stayed at many hundreds of hotels worldwide, I got a last minute Cannes invite and initially booked one night through the HOPPER travel app. On reflection I then booked a second night using the same app. Two difference reservations PAID in total for both on the app...with email and app confirmations AND confirmation of charges on my credit card. AND YET...upon check in, the desk clerk initially couldn't find confirmation of the second night's payment, despite showing her my HOPPER receipt. She searched further and then seemed have an AHA moment and said " found it...all is good" and handed me the room key. SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE on check out two days later, a very smarmy clerk started to grill me on needing to pay for the second night as he couldn't find it in his system. The infuriating thing was this man's unwavering treatment of a legitimate paying customer as if I were some street con trying to scam a free night. (???!!!) When the manager of the day got involved and couldn't "find" payment either DESPITE seeing both my Hopper receipt but a read out of my credit card being charged, (WHAT MORE COULD THEY POSSIBLY NEED??!!) I was informed I needed to use my card to repay AGAIN to be able to leave or the authorities would be called. ***???? I'd been concerned but polite till now...this really was the last straw. The manager also informed me that she had NEVER HEARD OF HOPPPER as a booking agent for them. ( Really? Hopper has a different story saying they have had a long history with Ibis hotels...hmmmm...a suspect excuse) I gave my card but informed them I would use any and every means to spread the word on their horrible business practices both on social media and at their corporate offices. The manager looked pained but gave no concession and tried a lame " I understand" to which I just shook my head and said "NO!...IF YOU REALLY DID YOU WOULD HAVE HANDLED THIS VERY DIFFERENTLY!" and quietly walked out. Upon return home, I called HOPPER to tell the story and confirm I had paid...the first times. They took the ball and spent all week trying to get a response from the hotel to no avail. I took 3 increasingly urgent additional emails from HOPPER to get a response from this awfully managed hotel. After a protracted exchange, the hotel 9 days later finally refunded my account...but only after reluctantly saying "despite this going against our policies (???!!! Stealing funds is your policy?) and the matter was messily resolved. I WILL NOT ONLY NEVER USE THIS HOTEL AGAIN BUT THEIR ENTIRE CHAIN...if this is how their management treats valid conflicts...and will post this anywhere I can to ALERT OTHERS TO THEIR MISHANDLING AND OUTRIGHT ATTEMPTS TO STEAL ADDITIONAL FUNDS

It started badly, the Guy on the reception virtually ignored me, more interested in his telephone call than acknowledging my arrival.The room was less than average, we were not offered an upgrade. The whole atmosphere was less than welcoming

Very very bad experience With my booking at ibis Cannes. My room was booked for myself and two kids, on arrival they didn’t have the room and said it was not there problem after taking payment. After 4 hours with customer complaints no joy. Get through to uk head office where a lady called Bridgett put us in a hotel in Nice on a like to like price rate. On check out they charged me the hotel rate for Nice. Called Bridgett who doesn’t take my call or texts. Would never book with this group again. Would highly recommend not booking with with them. No customer care. Never had such a bad experience as this ever before.

1. The air-condition did not work. Even after informing the reception about this, nothing happened, nor was we given the option to change rooms. 2. The showerholder was broken. 3. The room was small. The bed was basically the only place where you could open a suitcase without it being too much on the way of walking. 4. During our 8 night stay the bedsheets was maybe chaged once. No basic hygiene stuff (missing toilet brush) Had to run behind the cleaning ladies twice for fresh towels Just one towel for body, face, hair and hands is unacceptable. 5. As an Scandinavian i think the breakfast was sub-optimal. Basically the only protein was either egg (scrambled or boiled) and sausage of one variant. And there was not really that many fruit options. Carbs they do have plenty off. 6. They tried to rip us off by calling our room one day early and saying that our reservation ended so we need to book an extra night. Not until i showed the email of the orig. reservation was this sorted out. Would not recommend. On a good note, the location is really good.

De l'accueil à la remise des clés, nous avons apprécié. Amabilité du personnel, propreté, équipement et une mention particulière pour le petit-déjeuner. Habitué de ce genre d'hôtel, nous n'avions pas encore rencontré un tel choix, la fraîcheur, la quantité et la qualité. Satisfaction sur toute la ligne malgré une fréquentation particulièrement importante en ce week-end de fête du mimosa.
