Had this room type 2 years ago at Krakow City West ( was on of the 4 rooms that they had refurbished then ) It is a much better layout and design than the "original" that is now so dated. Also the Novotel at Limoges has this room now - was beeing refurbished ( when we were there a year ago )

Think Accor is now looking at designs for a new Ibis room as new survey on According to You has pictures of new room types .... the one that is the "better" option is a sort of cut down version of this room. So all good in my book.
