ibis Styles Invercargill Hotel

Three bedroom flat option good for a few days with option to have more space by going to one of the two guest lounges. Convenient location at quiet end of town, close to airport, supermarkets and town centre. Average amenities and sometimes noisy neighbours balanced out by cleanliness and group pricing. Beds are comfortable.

i did not mind the room itself as I was only staying for one night. It had all the basic essentials I needed for that short stay. Probably suitable for one or two individuals, and if you're only staying for a short time.

Generally we have had a great experience with the Accor hotels. Our first preference is the M Gallery chain, but when they’ve not been an option Ibis has still been good. Cheap and cheerful. I was a little disappointed when we arrived at the Ibis Styles Invercargill. After we checked in and made it to the room it had more of a converted backpackers feel than a hotel. Not the “cheerful” part if was hoping for. Invercargill was a halfway point between Dunedin and Queenstown, and our original plan was to stop here on the way. We decided to push on to Queenstown rather than stay here. The staff were friendly, but it had more of a backpackers feel, and wasn’t particularly relaxing.

Unhappy with the parking charges. A customer staying in this hotel has to pay for parking, it is ridiculous. After parking in the basement you have to criss cross from a maize and scan key at multiple doors to reach your room. I met at least three other customers lost on the way. Elderly will have a nightmare.

Hotel needs to be upgraded. The weather was in the 30 degrees c. No AIR CONDITIONING. No bar or restaurant. Friendly staff. Expensive for what it is. Out of date decor. Cramped rooms. Mini bar offers little selection.

First impressions were great central location.....room impression a bit dissappointed. Was marketed as a 2 bed apartment, but reality more hostel set up. It was clean and tidy and at $140 a night, the most competitive in Invercargill for our family of 4. Beds are built in to the wall, so you have to climb over the other person to get in and out, quite a tight space, but fine for a one night stay. Breakfast room opened 1 hour late (no explanation except, there hadbeen a problem? But breakfast was included in tariff and pretty standard for a continental breakfast. On colder days ring ahead and ask then to turn heating on, as room was very cold when we first arrived.

Hotel was reasonably priced in a convenient location close to shops and cafes as well as main road. Staff were helpful and answered our questions. However both the noise and the room layout left a lot to be desired. Noise traveled throughout the floor whenever other guests entered the area so we were woken up multiple times throughout the night be others talking in the corridor and opening doors. The layout of the room was also a bit odd as they had jammed the bed up against a cupboard meaning one of us had a face in the cupboard all night with no bedside table easily accessible. There were multiple other places the cupboard could've gone so it seemed odd to put it right next to the bed. The overall room was clean, however the bathroom needed a bit of attention as the shower head looked old and dirty and the grouting was starting to look poor. Overall a decent place to stay.

Most unexpected ,centre of town easy to walk to restaurants and attractions, great value for money, pleasant and obliging staff, all very good. the Motor cycle mania is right next door and the Hayes hardware shop is an easy walk for its special delights.

While the hotel is not flash, it has basic catering equipment including a microwave and a small fridge that's bigger than a minibar which makes it a great place to stay long term. The bathroom also had a fold down seat in the shower. I didn't have the breakfast so can't comment on it. It was quiet too. Minor faults with lights as the bedside lamp didn't work and had a wonky shade plus the bed light flickered.

We had 4 nights at the Ibis in Invercargill. The reception and other staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. We had a clean, comfortable well serviced and maintained queen bed room. There is parking under the hotel and the location is central for the town and good for visiting the attractions and scenic sites in the area. The continental breakfast is basic but adequate.

Our stay was a very welcome rest! The staff were helpful and the rooms clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was good and generous. Our departure was marred by a failure of the front door mechanism as we were leaving to get our taxi. This meant we had to leave by the back door but the taxi driver was instructed by the receptionist to meet us there.

Avoid this hotel in summer. There is no air conditioning and the rooms are like a furnace on a hot day. Otherwise the hotel is well located and offers a reasonably good breakfast. Staff are also very helpful.

Comfortable, smart, modern rooms. The design is simple and fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel's car park was full when we arrived, but we were able to park just outside on the street. Good location right in the centre of the city. A decent breakfast was included, although the breakfast room could do with some more attractive decor and furniture - it felt a bit like a school room. Overall a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

All the hotel staff were lovely, the (double) beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and had good water pressure, however the hotel is woeful. We had a three bedroom apartment fronting onto Tay St. The blinds didn't close properly and the window are only single glazing, so the bedrooms were constantly lit up and noisy (Invercargill boy racers every night!) making it near impossible to sleep. Off street parking was in addition to the $188 per night tariff at a cost of $10 per night. The garage we were allocated had a broken door and was manually locked at 11pm, not opening until 7am. We had to chase up new internet passwords everyday, as they expired every 24 hours on the dot. The weather was very warm, and with no aircon the rooms were very uncomfortable, both warm and humid. Despite a guest limit of 6 there was only enough seating for 3 people in the unit. There is a high step into both the toilet and shower room (waterproofing?) which proved very dangerous in the dark - stubbed toes and tripping. Expected a lot more for an Accor property and also for the price.
