Ibis Montargis

Picture the scene. Four friends in the Place Victor Hugo in Montargis, a ville fleurie with mediaeval buildings, crisscrossing waterways and beautiful floral displays everywhere. We fancy a mid morning drink and there is the magnificent Hotel de la Poste. We enter the brasserie and are impressed. A huge room in the style of the 1900s, tables laid with linen, some people taking an early lunch, others like us just drinking, plenty of staff bustling about. Sadly, it seems the staff can look busy but not look out for new customers. But we’re in no hurry and eventually a waitress comes over. Our order is simple: 2 decaff cafés au lait, a regular coffee and a beer. The process is painfully slow as the waitress needs to concentrate on the electrical device strapped to her wrist. Eventually she can leave and we wonder how long it would take to order a meal. We have plenty of time to wonder but at last the drinks arrive. Alas! The two decaff are not decaff and must be removed. Replacements arrive but sacré bleu - they are black, not white! With a third attempt, coffees arrived smothered in whipped cream; too weary to seek yet another replacement, we drink up and ask for the bill. We were only charged for four drinks but begrudged the €20. As we left, we noticed the dried up and dying flowers on the hotel terrace - such a contrast to the marvellous planting elsewhere in the town. We should have known what to expect! Montargis the town, we loved; Hotel de la Poste, less so.

Great location, clean, nice breakfast, good restaurant and very helpful staff!

Nice location, easy access and beautiful surroundings.

Centrally located and on the original site of a military hotel and coach relay station in the late 1700's this newly renovated hotel is GREAT !! This was our first stay here but we will be back. Immaculate and welcoming, with a great restaurant within and reasonable rates with an on site parking it was excellent and exeeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service was above and beyond. Whether we interacted with the director Mr Hervé Pasquiet or Mme Duval and the various staff members at the front desk. Everyone is very professional and dedicated to their craft in the hospitality business and examplified the best of France - We intended to just stay 1 night but ended up staying 3. The director provided excellent tourist information and even put us in touch with a local genealogist to assist us in some of our personal ancestral research. I am physically disabled and we were given a recently renovated handicap accessible room that was clean and spacious and correctly set up for my needs.

Nice location with a beautiful outside seating

Tout d’abords , le point positif : son emplacement en plein centre de Montargis avec stationnement assez facile. Pour le reste , on est déçu . Un accueil tout à fait impersonnel Une chambre étroite : 30 cm entre le lit et le mur avec la télé murale à cette endroit. Salle de bain de 4m2 environ ( c’est un exploit d’y rentrer la douche , un wc et un lavabo. Aucune attention particulière (eau , plateau café …) L’hôtel est plutôt vieillot . Petit déjeuner sans plus. En résumé une expérience déplorable . Et dire qu’il est permis les meilleurs hôtels de montargis sur TripAdvisor . J’ose pas imaginer les autres . En tout cas , même si on va me répondre qu’il est dans les normes , ca ne vaut pas 3 étoiles , ni le prix affiché : 112 euro la nuit . C’est un standard parisien mais …. à Montargis 😀

Si vous souhaitez une configuration lits jumeaux vous serez contraint d’avoir un mur pour unique vue…. Lits en 80 quasiment cote à cote dans une chambre tres peu spacieuse Petit déjeuner tres correct Acces Parking tres exiguë, un conseil au propriétaire : mettez des protections là où les murs sont abîmés …les voitures vous remercieront
