ibis Bradford Shipley

I regularly stay at the Ibis in Shipley, when visiting my Father. I always receive a very warm welcome and the staff always make a fuss of my two dogs who are also regulars. In particular the reception staff are all lovely and the lady who looks after the rooms is always very attentive and makes sure we have the much loved jammy dodgers. I can't remember her name but she's been there for years. It's reassuring to see the familiar faces who we know will make sure our stay pleasant but this time there was a new lady on the reception team (again I should have taken her name). She is a great addition to the team and made us feel very much at home. Although some of the fixtures and fittings are starting to look a little tired, it just goes to show that a friendly face and a warm welcome makes such matters less significant. We will be back again soon. Please pass on our thanks to all the team - Juliette, Andrew and the dogs.

Stayed a few times and very consistent. First time had a room on ground floor and a lot more noisy with guest returning at 12.30 -2pm.

The hotel is looking tired and in need of some maintenance. Both times I've stayed there were unpleasant smells from the sink drainage. When the sign is hung outside to indicate not to change the sheets and towels there is no service at all to the room (not even replaced the biscuits!)However it is inexpensive and the breakfast is pretty good.

We stayed for 2 nights for a family occasion. Good value for money and staff were friendly and helpful. The lady at breakfast deserves a special mention as we saw her helping the less able bodied guests with their breakfasts in a discreet way. The carpet in our room was a little tired. My only niggle is that although the bathroom, bedding etc were clean, there were marks on the wall and windowsill that needed cleaning off ie coffee splashes and spider poo. Head of Housekeeping needs to do some checks!

We have stayed here on several occasions and always have an enjoyable stay. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It is located next to a canal so you can can have a nice walk either way from the hotel. There is also a pub next door and the hotel also does food and drink.

I have stayed here several times and find its location extremely well suited for my purpose. Comfortable room, hot shower and an excellent hot breakfast. Reception staff polite and courteous.

You get what you pay for, and this hotel is very, very cheap!The good: The hotel is really well located for Shipley, and is really cheap. The shower had excellent water pressure. The hotel is really cheap. There's a Lidl pretty much across the road, so unless you really, really want a fry up, you can skip the pricy hotel breakfast and grab a few pastries from there instead. Also, did I mention that the hotel is really cheap?!The not so good: As mentioned in countless other reviews already, the cleanliness of the hotel could be better. The carpets in particular (both in the shared hallways and inside the room) were pretty manky. The sink was permanently stained. Housekeeping was patchy - clearly no attempt to vacuum or wipe down surfaces was made, as evidenced by crumbs still being there. But the really important bits of cleanliness seemed fine at least - the bed, sheets, towels and shower all seemed decently clean.If you're in search of luxury or trying to impress someone, or if someone else is paying, look elsewhere. But if you just need somewhere cheap to sleep with excellent access to Shipley, this Ibis isn't an awful option.

Nowhere on website could we see a warning of being a cashless hotel. Couldn't stop sneezing with dust. Carpet in my garage is cleaner. Moved bed side locker away from wall and it was disgusting. I have photos.

Horrible stay the two girls running the front desk were helpful but had too much to do with running reception the bar and doing breakfast. The communal areas in the hotel were clean but when we entered the room it was filthy the carpet was stained and piles of dust had formed around the edges of all the furniture and there was marks on most of the walls. The bathroom was not too bad bad on a whole I will never stay again we paid £136 for a family room that was small hot and filthy if we weren't going to a surprise party I would have left

This was an OK place to stay and met our needs just fine. Breakfast was OK, actually better than anticipated. The rooms were clean and comfortable but somewhat in need of updating. Parking very convenient and plentiful. Easy and pleasant walk to Salts Mill along the canal.
