Don't stay here.
Pros:

Very basic and cheap hotel, beds are not comfy. Staff unfriendly and look depressed probably because they are not treated fairly by the Ibis Chain.
I wish I had booked a better hotel, as this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Rooms are very small and cramped.

Another pleasant stay.
Pros:

This was our umpteenth visit, friendly staff always bubbly and helpful . It’s starting to look a bit rundown, rooms comfortable and clean and service great as usual. Sadly it will cease to be part of the ibis group in August. We will see who takes it over and decide if we still stay there in future.

Handy for Rail Station, solid hotel.
Pros:

Handily located close to the Rail Station, with trains to Leeds, Bradford, Ilkley, Skiptop/Carlisle line etc. On the canal side, so can walk on a pleasant route along the canal to Saltaire (Heritage site). Shipley itself is not a great place (somewhat run down in places). Hotel was absolutely fine, but some might consider it "dated" as they say. I thought it was OK, decent comfy bed, modernised toilet/shower room. Someone was always on Reception and very friendly and helpful. I felt safe and secure.

Pros:

Property in ideal location for us for our days out. Canal tow pat walk fabulous.
I was concerned about lack of working lift as I have difficulty breathing, perhaps a ground floor I could have been offered ground floor room if I had known before check in

It’s an Ibis
Pros:

Stayed here for one night and what can I say? It’s an Ibis, you know you’re not getting Sheraton levels of luxury, but it’s clean, tidy and comfortable and most of all, dog friendly.

Staff are really friendly and helpful and the breakfast is good value.

Room was on the ground floor facing the canal and had a security light immediately above the window which meant it was like daytime at 2am in the room.

Great hotel to visit Saltaire, Ilkley Moor and Leecs
Pros:

Good comfortable wide double bed. Extra pillows. Our room on first floor overlooked the canal. Tray with tea/coffee/milk with extra available at reception. Windows opened, which we loved. Reception staff also served at the adjacent bar (and seemed to also cook evening snacks) Limited bar.
Breakfast expensive in comparison to that at the pub next door.
Ideal for walking along canal towpath to Saltaire. Also ideal to get train into Leeds.

Monday night regular
Pros:

I’ve now stayed here 4 times with my daughter due to her going to a drama class nearby in Bingley on a Monday night. The hotel is clean and we find the rooms comfortable and she enjoys staying here. I always get a good price if I search online and my daughter enjoys the breakfast which is only £6 for her especially the Nutella machine ! Slight problem last night due to drunk couple above me who couldn’t act like normal people and the police had to be called. I don’t blame the hotel for that, because that could happen anywhere! I was looked after this morning by the kind lady on reception so thank you for that and also the night staff did his best to sort the situation out. Please ban them from returning if possible especially the woman !!!!!!
The hotel is close to a Costa and a Lidl if you need anything and they also have a 24hr food menu, snooker/pool table, seating area downstairs with TV and ironing facilities.
