Ibis Styles Regensburg Hotel

Excellent breakfast! The hotel is super clean and has a great location.

Located on the outskirts of town, its an easy walk into town or you can use one of the hotel bikes. Or just can walk or bike the canal. Quiet location right on the canal makes it scenic and enjoyable. Breakfast is good with many options. Rooms are normal size and clean. I stay here every year when I come to Regensburg.

The most important reason for staying at this hotel as opposed to one inside the old city was because air conditioning was advertised. Alas, a/c was not working at all. Not only the air blown out was not cold, there was barely any air flow. Putting my hand above the a/c vent, I could barely feel anything. Contacted the front desk. The chap came to the room to check and made sure that a/c was set to -3 and said there wasn't much he could do. The dial has only a setting ranging from +3 to -3, with -3 being the coldest. But as mentioned, it didn't do anything. Further, there was no fan. We stayed there for two nights and had to sleep with windows open, then the bugs came in. We found ourselves all bitten up in the morning. There was no screen for the windows. Plus, the room was so hot, we spent 18 euro a night just on water, 3 euro for a very small bottle. Location-wise, the hotel is a good 15-20 minutes walk to the city. Normally, it won't be an issue, except it was very hot. So, we basically had the worst of both worlds, no a/c and had to walk back and forth to the city. Taking a cab would be impractical as it would require a big detour to get around the river. Had the hotel not advertising a/c, we would have stayed in the old city and avoid walking under hot sun. I understand Europe (and everywhere) is experiencing hotter weather. However, this trend had been going on for a few years. It's plainly deceiving for the hotel to advertise a/c while it doesn't work at all.

The additional “bed” in our room consisted of a very hard leather sofa, not suited to sleep on. There is no refrigerator in the room, no gym at the hotel, air conditioning and WiFi worked poorly. They kept running out of dishes at breakfast and they charge an outrageous parking fee of $9/day. Part of the staff was rude and refused to supply additional blankets to cushion the additional bed. Overall bad experience and we will be sure to not return to this hotel.

View of the riverside and nature. Walking path and play room are wonderful at the hotel.

There was a renovation at the hotel, it was pretty normal but all the electricity cable were open and there were lots of dangerous stuff for the kids. I feedbacked this situation to reception and they event did not show any interest.

Lobby is under construction Feb 2019 but minimal disturbance. Hotel has been continuously updated with new features like rain showers. Free breakfast is nice, though typical with some hot and cold items. 24 hour front desk is useful. No refrigerator un room but you can store it with the hotel.

Hotel was under construction (lack of such info when bookings were done), which caused some unconvienamces, e.g all lifts were out of order. At reception I was not told that kids are entitled to have special kids box (snacks for travel)... I had to specially asked for it.

Modest, yet acceptable for one night stand. 20 min walk to Old Town
