Some guests found the quality of the meals lacking, mentioning that the food could be cold and not well-cooked with certain dishes uninspired or low quality. The buffet was described as meager and not always good value for money by a number of diners, who expected better offerings for the price.
Overall, while the Ibis Budget Girona Costa Brava provides the convenience of an on-site dinner and friendly service, it appears the dinner experience can be hit-or-miss, depending on individual expectations and the specific offerings available during the stay.
Rooms
However, many reviews also point out that the rooms are quite simple and sparsely furnished, often lacking basic amenities such as wardrobes, chairs and counter space. Some guests noted that the rooms could benefit from renovation, citing issues such as outdated decor, mold and general wear and tear. Noise insulation could be improved, as some rooms facing the main road can be quite noisy.
Despite these drawbacks, the value-for-money aspect is often praised, making it a suitable choice for travelers seeking budget accommodation without luxury. The hotel also offers ample parking space and accepts pets, adding to its practicality for road travelers. Overall, it is best suited for those looking for a clean, no-frills place to stay for a night or two.
Beds
However, there were consistent complaints about the beds being too hard and uncomfortable with several guests experiencing back pain. Issues such as old, worn-out mattresses, small and ultra-narrow beds and noisy, sagging frames were also common. Pillows were another point of concern, often described as poor quality, small or in need of replacement. Overall, while some found the beds to meet the basic standards expected in budget accommodations, others felt significant improvements were needed to enhance comfort.
Cleanliness
However, some reviews point out areas in need of improvement. A few guests encountered issues such as stained flooring, mold and rust in bathrooms and an overall tired appearance. Others mentioned specific incidents like bed bugs, musty smells and housekeeping lapses, such as unemptied trash cans and dust on baseboards.
While most find the value for money to be appropriate given its budget status, the quality of cleaning varies, evidencing a need for more consistent upkeep across the hotel. Despite these inconsistencies, the positive remarks about cleanliness underline a generally satisfactory experience for many visitors at this budget-friendly accommodation.
Staff
Several reviews also mentioned specific staff members who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, emphasizing their positive and cooperative attitudes.

Despite some negative feedback, many guests were able to enjoy a good internet connection during their stay, benefiting from the free WiFi provided in all rooms. While there are areas for improvement, the overall sentiment about the WiFi leans towards a positive experience for many patrons.
Parking
For those unable to secure free parking, the hotel offers paid options: an outdoor lot for 5 euros per night and an underground garage for 12 euros. It should be noted that the paid parking is sometimes perceived as expensive and not always clearly indicated in advance.

Rooms on the ground floor are a significant benefit for guests with young children or mobility concerns and the wheelchair-accessible rooms and common areas adequately meet the expected standards for disabled access.
Guests commend the hotel's straightforward check-in and check-out processes, making arrivals and departures smooth and efficient. The responsive and attentive staff further enhance the experience, assisting with any accessibility needs. The presence of a translator facilitates communication, ensuring guests can easily convey their requirements.
The location of the hotel is also strategic, providing easy access to downtown Girona and making it suitable for travelers who wish to explore the city. Outdoor tables offer a relaxing space for guests to unwind, while the air conditioning in rooms ensures a comfortable stay.
