Ibis Styles Paris Tolbiac Bibliothèque Reviews

Used this hotel as it was close to the Accord Arena. Checked in early so the hotel held my bags until the room was ready. This was fair enough. All the staff that I ever conversed with were friendly and professional - no issues there. The room was... OK. Not a lot of space but this is a given in Paris as I have experienced on previous occasions. Room cleaned to an average standard - I had to wipe a few questionable stains here and there. The shampoo/soap they provide is not very good at all thus I would highly recommend bringing your own if you can. Bed comfortable enough. I didn't use the bar downstairs but they did have a very good system for the free water and coffee at reception. The place was decorated well in the lobby and was homely to chill out in if needed. Food wise, breakfast was good but the room for eating can get very busy. Prices for soft drinks a little scandalous and found it a bit odd to pay for a luggage locker after checkout. Nothing says, "we have your money so we will no longer extend our hospitality" like paying to hold my stuff, right? On that note, I found it a little disappointing to have housekeeping knock on my door three times on the morning I was due to check out. I had my room until 1100 but they insisted on asking if I was ready to go every 30mins. Overall, if this wasn't the "budget" option for Ibis, don't think I would want to see what was! Even for Paris, you get what you pay for so I would probably only recommend for money saving purposes only.
