Ibis Paris Bastille Faubourg Saint Antoine

“Excellent stay.”

The hotel provides coffee and tea with unlimited supply. In addition, when one more chair is requested in the room, the friendly staff immediately brought it to the room. The staff are all friendly, polite and helpful.

“Great hotel with a very friendly staff”

At first look, this appeared to be a bit 'out of the way.' It turned out to be perfect. The hotel was clean, friendly and accommodating, near the Line 8 Metro and easy walking distance to Bastille.

At first look, this appeared to be a bit 'out of the way.' It turned out to be perfect. The hotel was clean, friendly and accommodating, near the Line 8 Metro and easy walking distance to Bastille. The recommended metro stop is Faidherbe-Chaligny on Line 8, but it's much easier to take stop Ledreu-Rollins. What makes it a perfect place for those looking to spend 'not too much money' is the amenities, both on site and nearby. They have filtered water, both fizzy and still, available any time in one liter bottles at no cost. They also have 24h access to tea, coffee and hot chocolate as well as to a small outdoor garden. The elevators are key card access so there's a bit more feeling of security. A little bar is available with the front desk staff playing triple duty as pizza maker, bar tender and host. Next door is a Franprix small grocery for wine, juice, beer, soda, water, cheese or sliced packaged meats. Ernest & Valentin, three minute walk, is an amazing boulangerie to pick up baguettes, along with some cheese from next door and you've got a perfect breakfast. There's a larger grocery store (but not much bigger) Carrefour City just five minutes away. There's no problem bringing items back and using the hotel plates and utensils, and coffee. Quick, easy and cheap bites are just around the corner at Gem kababs. Tips: Rooms opening towards the garden can get cigarette smoke as it is allowed in the garden. Rooms opening towards the street get traffic noise and there is a school right across the street, so yelling kids are common.

“Ideal location in 11eme Arrondissement; room not as advertised”

The location is ideal to explore and use as base to see Paris. Nice, quiet courtyard to unwind! The room that was booked was not the same as the booking pictures presented. Careful: shower may be a wet issue if not careful with shower-head.

“Pretty decent ”

I was on the 7th floor, at the back. Friday night. A temperate controlling unit is in the room, with a dial and 2 switches next to it - none of the controls did anything. The shower temperature changed a lot, and the shower tray filled up fast. The establishment itself is not too bad, and friendly… more

I was on the 7th floor, at the back. Friday night. A temperate controlling unit is in the room, with a dial and 2 switches next to it - none of the controls did anything. The shower temperature changed a lot, and the shower tray filled up fast. The establishment itself is not too bad, and friendly staff - I've stayed in many Ibis's (across Europe) and the staff are always fantastic. Good location for restaurants, bars and interesting shops etc. I'll give it 4, but the shower drain, the water temperature's quick changing and the temperature controlling unit, needs sorting out/ fixing. People rate Ibis's like they thought they were going to stay at a 5 star hotel, which is ridiculous (reflects on their own ignorance) ..I know what to expect and rate accordingly IE your staying in one of the most amazing cities on earth, but you're not paying 'the earth'.
