No coffee/tea facilities in the rooms, no drinking water available in the rooms and lack of options in the breakfast buffet which was very over priced, and the rooms are very small with lack of storage space.

We were very unimpressed. After reading the reveiws and descriptions of the hotel that said it was the best hotel for staying outside to avoid Bruges prices but the best for travelling to Bruges, we were thoroughly dissappionted. The taxis were advertised online for 20 euro but when we arrived we were told they were 50-60 euro. We asked about the 'local' bus that was supposedly outside the hotel, it was a half an hour walk. We tried to drive into Bruges but the traffic was awful and the parking was the same....everywhere was full and we tried 9 car parks (however that may have been due to the christmas market so we understand it may not always be that busy...) The hotel was in the middle of nowhere and served nothing but breakfast, a vending machine, a microwave and frozen pizza and pasta ready meals that they passed off as dinner for an extortinate rate, something that was not explained on the website. The members of staff were not very friendly, they made us feel like an inconvenience and we were met with eye rolls, huffs and questions when we wanted to order 2 glasses of wine...? We were on holiday and wanted to make the most of it and it made them money so not sure why the fuss. The hotel was easy to find and the room was clean but that's the only good thing I can say. I understand it is the Ibis Budget, but even budget should have polite staff, clearly advertised dinner options and staff that are friendly. We will not be booking again, very dissappointed.

Fairy modern hotel in a great location. However, there was no tea or coffee facilities, there was no spare tolws. There was no spare pillows and they only gave you one toilet roll! Budget, cheap, just... Meh really. Soulless design, corporate feel.

Do not go there if you want a family room, two adults and a toddler no space to put luggage or move around in the room, also train your new staff properly, key did not work at 11pm stood outside the room for 45 minutes while the staff tried to open the room door, eventually they had to break the lock

the staff especially the manager Tati were excellent. She did my laundry for me and arranged (although extremely expensive) driver for me)-the general manager was also very professional but the area is next to a freeway and a lake with screaming kids all day. not the property's fault but it is next to a trailer park and I would only recommend this place if it was for an evening instead of 5 nights. the pictures online are of a different hotel which is very deceitful on Expedia's part.

A bit basic but ok for one night
I was driving an ambulance to Ukraine and we stopped here for one night (6 hours). I was disappointed they charged us extra for car parking. Bedding was a bit basic.

Needs better Signage to find the place!
Signage is severely lacking. You're parallel with the IBIS sign (Management, Turn your sign 90 degrees so that an approaching driver can see it! ). Great Chinese Restaurant within 100 feet of the property. Very nice, new build, very clean, snack and drink machines in lobby. Excellent elevator, very nice bathrooms, beds somewhat hard but bedding was lovely.

Great for us as a one night stop .Really Clean hotel rooms but so very small , bed and bathrooms superb , towels odd shape and useless for drying long hair at 157 euro a night will think hard before staying again having said that staff and hotel were fine and I read the reviews so was aware of what I had booked so hope this comes across as fair .

We stayed here just before Christmas. We brought the car, so had to pay a little extra for parking. The location was very convenient to get to Bruges, however felt like a random location for a hotel. Classic Ibis beds, so make of that what you will, but the shower was fantastic. We now have a separate shower rating comparing it to this shower, it was that good.

Lovely hotel!
Lovely modern hotel with great TV selection for foreign visitors. USB Charging in room. Fully air conditioning for heat and cool. Lovely bathroom with decent shower. Only downside was the comfort of bed was a little stiff but for the price you cannot say no!

False advertising! We mistakenly booked this hotel thinking it was in Bruges. There are a number of Ibis hotels in Bruges and, due to the naming convention of calling the hotel the name of a town in the general region it's located, it was not until we arrived that we realised our error. We expected a hotel called Bruges Jabbeka to be in Bruges!! It is 15 minutes drive on a freeway from Bruges. We asked the lady at the desk if we could be transferred to an Ibis in Bruges. She stated that no, this could not be done. We pointed out the misrepresentation with the name, she stated that it is clear that this hotel is in Jabbeka, it was not clear to me! She would not allow us to cancel without charging one nights fee. She was argumentative about our error in booking this location, which we freely admitted was our mistake. There was no customer service from the staff. We were charged €6 for the use of the open air, public access car park. There was no apology, empathy or conciliation from the staff. The room is much like a student dorm. It was clean but very small. The reception area smelled pleasant. You can only access the bed by one side. The tv is oriented so that it is not easily visible from the bed. There is a single plastic chair in the room. There are no tea or coffee making facilities and the hair dryer is located at reception.

Budget hotel
Great stay. Room had USB ports for charging phones etc. Comfortable beds, good shower. It was a bit tight on space especially with a third bed for our child but bearing in mind it's a budget hotel you get what you pay for.

Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding was bizar. € 140,— voor zo’n kleine kamer en dan komt er nog € 30 voor ontbijt en parkeren bij. Voor dat bedrag verwacht ik echt iets anders.

Small modern budget hotel. Clean and provide basic nights stay. Stayed for 3 nights. Requested for extra pillows none existence! Breakfast not bad for £10 each but the juices were diluted. So didn’t go back for next 2 mornings. Comfort stay all in for budget hotel. Staff were helpful to their best ability.
