Hotel ibis Château de Fontainebleau (Fontainebleau, France)

Guests rave about the hotel's location, noting it takes less than five minutes to walk to the famous Fontainebleau chateau and gardens. There are dozens of restaurants and shops within a short walk also.

Travellers on a budget love that the hotel offers "everything you need," including very clean rooms with comfortable beds, free wi-fi, hot showers, and air conditioning.

Guests often report that the reception staff are friendly, efficient, and able to provide good recommendations for local restaurants. Most speak English as well as French, and are patient with tourists attempting to communicate en francais. The breakfast buffet is widely considered good value, with a tempting variety of hot and cold dishes.

Drivers appreciate the underground parking, but note that there is no lift from the garage to the lobby level, so it's best to take your luggage up to the room before parking for the night. Some guests find the rooms lack much space for unpacking your clothes also.

Several guests have noted that the rooms are starting to show some wear and tear, and that the walls could use repainting. A few guests have also run into issues with the air conditioning or plumbing, and some guests are unpleasantly surprised by the lack of amenities such as a kettle, mini fridge, or hair conditioner.

Several guests have noted that the walls are a little thin, and that they are able to overhear travellers in rooms down the hall. The heavy doors are also a source of noise complaints.
