“Nothing but positives.”

I seldom write review but I have made this exception as I want to share the great experience I had. I stayed in the family room it is massive, clean, bright and modern. The staff were very charming, friendly and accommodating, Breakfast was A1 and location great. Would recommend.

“An Easy Stay - Close to the Metro”

We decided to stay at the Ibis as we needed a slightly out of city hotel, close to Gare De L’ Est train station for the duration of our stay. The hotel is only a stones throw from the closest metro (Louis Blanc) of which can be used to get to central Paris. The area around the hotel is very local with minimal tourists, but plenty of bars and cafes along the canal. It is not uncommon to see locals sat along the canal with some food and wine in the sunshine. One immediate frustration at the hotel was having to buzz in from outside and wait for someone to open the door. We arrived late evening so presumed this was the reason but later found this was a 24/7 requirement. Not too much of an issue but when the staff are managing a check in or not at the desk it can leave you stood outside for a few minutes. It can also be a bit awkward with bags etc. Check-in was quick and easy, we were given a room on the fifth floor (503) of which overlooked the canal area. The rooms were quiet from the point of the outside and streets however there was some noise from other internal doors closing as they required a tug to ensure they were shut properly. The rooms whilst small were well equipped and thought out allowing for ease of access to everything needed. The air conditioning was on and working (thankfully!) meaning any trip to the room was a cool and calm respite from the hot 30+ degrees outside. Whilst the room had all of the basic amenities there was no tea / coffee facilities or room safe. That being said you can make a tea / coffee down stairs in reception. The bathroom was well designed and whilst it was a large walk-in shower as the tray had been raised there was no issue with wet floors etc. Lighting and ventilation in the bathroom was also really good so there was no foggy mirrors for hours after a shower. The room and hotel in general was immaculately clean and well kept, we felt like the first visitors in the room which is always welcomed! All in all a great stay and we would use it as a central stop again.
