"Clean & Inexpensive in Chartres Center" Ibis Chartres Centre Cathedrale Tip by AimeeQ

This is a very clean, modern hotel on the edge of the cathedral/historic district in Chartres. There is a reasonable amount of parking in the area - we were able to find free parking in the next door lot on a holiday weekend - but there is also parking under the hotel for a fee. The rooms are small and modestly outfitted but efficient. The hotel is on one of the main roads into town, so there is a good amount of traffic noise in the rooms towards the front of the building, but the rooms at the back of the hotel seemed larger and quieter. It's a 10 minute walk to the cathedral through charming little streets, and there are many cafes, bars, shops and restaurants around. The hotel has food and drink available all day in the lobby, starting with a nice cold breakfast buffet (baked goods, cereal, yogurt, fruit) for 8E that is available until 12pm. It's definitely nothing fancy, but the dining area extends out to a terrace overlooking a creek and small park offering a nice place to sit if the weather is good.
