IBIS KITCHEN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Châlons-en-Champagne

Absolutely Dire ! My recommendation is to avoid this place at all costs ! On arrival, there was one other vehicle in the car park, and the place seemed very run down . At reception, there was a language barrier. None of our group of 4 spoke French, and the guy behind the desk spoke very little English. When we walked into our room, the stench of cigarette smoke was overwhelming , even though this was supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. We asked for a different room and were moved without fuss. On heading down to the bar , we realised that the receptionist was the sole member of staff in the entire hotel . He was also the barman and also the chef for the " restaurant." Although there was a draught beer pump on the bar , it was inoperative and the only beer available was a choice of 4 small exotic bottles of ale , 8% , 6% and the other 2 ofunknown strength, all rather strong and not ideal for a one night travelling stop over. A gin and tonic was ordered only to find there was just enough gin for one drink before the bottle ran out with no more gin available. When it came to meal time, we decided it best to stick with pizzas and were informed by the receptionist that he only had 3 of the 7 or 8 advertised pizzas available. All 4 of our pizzas arrived quickly, luke warm , one stone cold in the middle, and one still with clingfilm stuck to the bottom of the plate. Our double bed was 2 singles pushed together, which separated in the night. There was black mould on the ceiling of the shower. Also , no lock or security chain on the door. The TV in the room has no English speaking channels whatsoever, no BBC or Sky news or any kind of MTV. I was genuinely worried I might come out in the morning to find my car on bricks, the place is so remote and desolate , although thankfully it was fine. The only slightly redeeming factor was the breakfast, which was okay. I stay in a lot of hotels , this , my 4th since January 2024 , and i can honestly, this is the worst by far !

After submitting this review, I'm now aware it's supposed to be for a restaurant.... This , in no way, shape, or form is a restaurant. It is a very shabby, run-down Ibis hotel , with seating and tables set in what is essentially the...

Incorrect information about operating times. They close when they feel like going home. Was closed at 21 hrs on a Saturday. Chose this hotel for dinner facilities.

I was saved by the bell though since I found a bunch of reviews about the quality of food.

And the price of a simple Fanta: 4 € (as if it is a big tourist hub) I had ordered at the bar.

Overpriced and doesn't look like a restaurant. It's a breakfast room.

Thank Heavens I didn't decide on breakfast yet. Ate at a reststop for less in...

No choice for evening meal. Pizza cold in the middle. Very disappointing. To be fair we arrived late in a coach party. Room...
