<\/p>\nIbis is a French hotel chain, known for quality and reliability – and is immensely popular with travellers who want to know exactly what to expect! Like Novotel and Sofitel, Ibis is part of the Accor group, and the chain runs a loyalty card scheme giving access to points, reductions and advantages all over the world.<\/p>\n
Around ten Ibis hotels have opened in and around Barcelona over the last few years, but if you don’t know the city, it can be hard to decide which option is best for you.<\/p>\n
Since we live in Barcelona and we’ve visited a fair few of the Ibis branches in and around the city centre, beaches and airport, we thought we’d give you some pointers!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The very first Ibis hotel opened in Bordeaux, France, in 1974. Since then, thousands of other branches – all with the inimitable red logo – have popped up around the world.<\/p>\n
You know what you’re getting at an Ibis hotel, even in a different country. The level of comfort will be the same, the rooms will be similar, the services will be the same, and some of the staff will speak English. By choosing to stay at an Ibis, you effectively eliminate the risk of unpleasant surprises!<\/p>\n
All of the Ibis hotels – classic, Budget or Styles – are also reputed for their excellent breakfast buffet, featuring delicious pastries and fresh, seasonal products.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ibis Styles hotels – the ones with the green logo – feature unique and generally colourful design. Unlike the standardised Ibis and Ibis Budget hotels, the rooms at the Styles hotels are decorated differently.<\/p>\n
Prices at the Ibis Styles include breakfast.\n<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n\nIbis Budget – the “blue” version of the hotel – is the new name of Etap Hotels. The prices are lower than at Ibis and Ibis Styles establishments, but the level of design and comfort is also lower.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis hotel is a good option if you’re only in Barcelona for a short stay and if the main purpose of your trip is to visit Sagrada Familia<\/a>. However, it’s not the most charming of the Ibis Hotels in Barcelona, and as such, it wouldn’t be our first choice for a longer stay.<\/p>\n \nFans of Art Nouveau will be particularly pleased with the location of this Ibis. Ideally situated in the Eixample, it’s within easy walking distance of Sagrada Familia<\/a> and of some of Gaudí’s other masterpieces, including Casa Batlló<\/a> and La Pedrera<\/a>.<\/p>\n \nThe design of the hotel, opened in March 2016, is inspired by the streets of Barcelona. The theme centres on the city’s emblematic paving tiles, or panots <\/em>in Catalan.<\/p>\n Panots:<\/em> what you need to know The theme is clear from the outset, with hexagonal tiles running across the floor, around the coloured cushions and poufs, up the reception desk and onto the walls.<\/p>\n Located in Barcelona’s business quarter, a 10-minute walk from the Bogatell hotel and near the Agbar Tower (photo above), this 2-star Ibis hotel is particularly calm and not too far from the beach – a 20-minute stroll is the perfect prequel to a dip in the sea!\n<\/p>\n \nThe Ibis Meridiana hotel is located on the avenue of the same name, on the outskirts of Barcelona. It’s a good ten-minute walk from the closest metro station, Fabra i Puig, between a Corte Inglés store and the Heron City shopping centre, home to the Mango outlet discussed in this article.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \nThe Ibis Meridiana has 140 rooms spread across a huge 14-storey building.<\/p>\n This particular Ibis doesn’t have its own carpark, but you can leave your car at the neighbouring shopping centre (approx. 12 euros\/day).\n<\/p>\n \nThe hotel is great for business travellers needing to access offices in this part of Barcelona.<\/p>\n However, we wouldn’t recommend it for families or for travellers looking to enjoy the hustle and bustle of central Barcelona. It’s a bit too far from the nearest metro station, in an outlying and charmless part of the city. In our view, this is the least appealing of the Ibis hotels in Barcelona. .<\/p>\n \nThe Ibis Castelldefels is around twenty kilometres from Barcelona and 10 km from Barcelona El Prat airport. It’s also close to a major shopping centre, the Ànec Blau.<\/p>\n It boasts great transport links, located just a 10-minute walk from a train station, with regular trains to Barcelona (under 40 minutes).<\/p>\n It’s also within easy reach of Castelldefels beach and the long seafront promenade. You’re just a ten-minute drive or 30-minute walk from the Mediterranean, so don’t forget your swimming gear!\n<\/p>\n This hotel is a great option for those who don’t want to stay in central Barcelona, but want to be within easy reach of the city for day trips. The free parking is also a major advantage.<\/p>\n The Ibis Viladecans hotel is a large, L-shaped establishment split into two parts: the two-star Ibis “proper” (above) and its cheaper sister, the Ibis Budget (below).<\/p>\n The hotels are located around 15 km from central Barcelona, and around 6 km from both the beach and the airport. They’re an excellent choice if you’re just passing through and want to stay close to one of the two airport terminals.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/barcelona-top-travel-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/dessin-logo-ibis.png\"){kind=logo}
