Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ibis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or above) at the Ibis in Rouen for a quieter stay. The hotel's 4 floors are served by a lift, but the higher floors are likely to be farther away from the street noise on Rue de la Motte, which can get busy with local traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd) as they may be noisier due to the proximity to the street and potential disturbance from the service entrance.
Best views
As the hotel does not face any major landmarks or waterways, the best view is of the surrounding Rouen cityscape. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a slightly better view of the city skyline.
Quietest floors
4th floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Rue de la Motte, where the hotel is located, is a relatively busy street in Rouen, with traffic and local noise. However, the hotel's 3-star rating suggests a more standard, no-frills experience, and the noise should not be excessive.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window to ensure good ventilation and natural light. Additionally, the hotel's 24-hour reception is located on the ground floor, so you can check-in at any time, even if you arrive outside of regular hours.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs from major banks (BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole) in the city centre for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchange desks—they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and cafés; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) work fine; some small bakeries and markets may prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected; service is included in the price. For good service, leave small change (€1–2) or round up the bill. Taxis and hotel staff appreciate a euro or two for help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso or filter coffee at a café counter costs about €1.20–€1.50; sitting at a table usually adds €0.50–€1.00.
Set lunch 'formule' at a brasserie or bistro (starter+main or main+dessert) runs €12–€15; a quick sandwich or crêpe is €5–€8.
Main course at a modest restaurant or crêperie costs €10–€15; a pizza or pasta dish is €9–€13.
For cheap eats, head to the city-centre streets around Place du Vieux-Marché and Rue du Gros-Horloge, where you'll find creperies, kebab shops, and takeaway sandwiches.
Budget supermarket chains include Leader Price, Lidl, and Aldi; for a wider selection, Intermarché or Carrefour are common.
Rue du Gros-Horloge and nearby pedestrian streets have affordable high-street chains (H&M, Zara, Kiabi); the Docks 76 centre has a few discount stores.
A single bus/tram ticket costs €1.60; a day pass (pass'jour) is €4.50. From the airport (Rouen Vallée de Seine), take bus line 28 (€3.50) into the city centre.
Eat at lunchtime for cheaper 'formule' menus; buy pastries and bread from bakeries instead of cafés; use the city's free walking map for self-guided tours.

💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with a Rouen-based firm like Taxis de Rouen to avoid surge pricing. Ask for a Renault Espace if you have luggage—boot space is tight in saloons.
Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite → Théâtre des Arts stop (5-min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy a 'Ticket +' from the machine at the station—it works on trams and buses for 1 hour. Validate it onboard. The tram is smooth but can get busy around 08:00 with students. If the Thérèse des Arts stop is packed, get off one stop earlier at Boulingrin and walk down Rue Beauvoisine.
Gare de Rouen-Rive-Droite → Un nid en ville, Rouen centre
💡 Don't take the tram from the station if your hotel is in the old town—it's a pleasant 10-min walk across the bridge. The TEOR bus lines T1, T2 and T3 run along the quays if you're carrying bags.
Paris La Défense (CNIT) or Paris Bercy → Rouen bus station (Gare routière, behind train station)
💡 Book on BlaBlaCar Bus at least a week ahead for the €5 deals. The bus drops you at the train station, not the centre—it's a 20-min walk to Un nid en ville, or grab the T1 bus two stops towards Boulingrin.
