What guests think

At ibis Coventry South, guests report a budget, motel-style stay with mixed results: several mention clean, simple rooms and helpful staff, but many note tired exteriors, worn interiors, intrusive outdoor lighting, noise between rooms, and general maintenance issues.

Parking is frequently described as easy and secure, including free parking in some reviews, though one guest criticized the car park's rough surface. Food and beverage feedback is mostly poor, citing limited or closed restaurant options and low-quality breakfasts, with an occasional good buffet mentioned. The location suits drivers near main roads and supermarkets, but signage can be hard to spot and a few guests felt uneasy outside at night. Overall, expect a basic budget stopover with variable comfort and service.

More like a motel than a hotel. They have a terrible, unmade car park, akin to driving on the moon with huge craters! Grubby little workmen smoking weed in the car park which wafts around in to the rooms. Done expect a good nights sleep as the lights shine in to the rooms, the curtains don’t pull properly so impossible to block the light out and it’s lit up all night along the landings. Hot rooms without aircon so you need the windows open so that you don’t cook which unfortunately means that you get to listen to some of the undesirable guests arguing and slamming doors until the early hours. I stayed for 3 nights and didn’t sleep well on any of them. Avoid this hovel at all costs!

Tired & characterless. Like a battered old US motel. Soulless bar & restaurant. Limited menu with some unavailability. Staff quite chirpy though if not polished. £100 for B&B excessive.

On arrival wasn’t informed decorating so reception was closed using a small back room which wasn’t the best. Staff were extremely helpful and room was small but clean and tidy Only problem was breakfast in the morning We paid for a breakfast, the restaurant was closed so had our breakfast in the small reception room were we checked into the night before. No coffee available and the food I can only describe as not fit for human consumption it’s was cold and the bacon looked like it was a week old The morning staff member was more interested in sending messages on his phone Hopefully once open to it full things might improve

Stayed 1 night

A very 'tired' hotel in need of some tlc. Room's bathroom required some repairs, namely the towel hooks were coming loose from the wall and no sink plug. Bedroom curtain at one end was missing some hangers so drooped and did not cover the window properly. This, compounded by the fact the motel-style rooms had very bright external lights outside the door, meant the room did not get very dark with curtains drawn. Resturant food very basic, either microwaved of frozen and oven cooked. Distubed in the night by load car revving from the car park. The girl on the reception was also responsible for cooking and bar duties (despite this, she was the best aspect of the hotel, doing a great job against all odds).

Was pleasantly surprised with the room as the exterior was all a bit shabby and the staircase to get to the upper floor was not very welcoming ( dark, dingy and dirty). The room itself was very clean amd had a great bathroom. Wasn't comfortable with the window opening on to the walkway outside so had that closed all night which made the room quite stuffy. My choice though and there was a fan provided which i didn't notice till the morning

Mixed feelings about this stay. The inside of my room was clean and modern, obviously recently redone. The outside is a state; security lights hanging off the wall and tatty and actually it doesn’t feel all that safe walking around in the dark. I don’t know why they put solo female travellers as far away from reception as possible. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped and noise travels between rooms. The seal around the main door (which goes straight outside) was rubbish and there was a cold breeze all night. In summary you probably get what you pay for but I’d call this the all fur no pants of hotel stays. I have definitely stayed in better hotels for the same room rate.

Terrible hotel never stay at an ibis agin! Curtains don’t fit the windows with a massive light outside! Random men walking about till 4 in the morning. Upon arrival a man standing outside reception smoking who then serves my drink behind the bar without washing his hands and stinking of smoke absolutely disgusting! So the man clearly works there but all I see him doing all night was sitting down playing on his phone rolling cigarettes! Overall very very disappointed. Only plus the girl on reception was good

The stay was awful with no sleep! Unfortunately some guests were fighting and screaming from 1am. Police called and things settled sightly, then they reappeared and were bare knuckle fighting shouting and screaming. Called police as I was on my own and very scared, thought my car would get damaged as they were throwing bricks and objects. The police and manager of ibis finally calmed the situation by 4am! Discussed with manager when checking out and he was very apologetic and understanding as he too had to come to try and sort the situation.
