ibis Bradford Shipley

It is a modern chain hotel with 78 guest rooms. All rooms have comfortable Sweet Beds, a work desk, a flatscreen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom.

The in-house restaurant, Fogg’s, has an international menu and it is open for lunch and dinner. It may look a little drab in comparison with Fogg’s restaurants at newer ibis hotels but you also have the option of going to the Noble Comb next door (part of the Hungry Horse chain) for a drink and a bite to eat.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the hotel.

This is one of the better-value ibis hotels, offering the standards of an ibis for the same price that you would pay for an ibis budget elsewhere in England and it is one of the cheapest hotels in England that earns status in the ALL Accor Live Limitless loyalty programme.

The hotel is just north of Shipley’s town centre and is an easy walk to Salts Mill and the Saltaire World Heritage site.

The immediate neighbourhood is characterised by light industry and is not particularly attractive; however, the hotel backs on to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal with easy access to the towpath that provides a pleasant walk to Saltaire, which is only a 15-minute walk away.

It is around a four-minute walk into Shipley’s town centre and Shipley railway station is around a 7–8-minute walk from the hotel. From the station, there are frequent trains into Bradford and Leeds and even direct trains to London.

Free car parking is available at this hotel, which makes it a great option if you’re driving.
