ibis Paris Avenue de la République

All perfect for me !

Location is great. Clean and quiet. Would stay again.

This hotel is not really 3* more like 2*. It is old and my room was nothing like the picture. It had a disabled bathroom that I did not ask for. It was at the back with a depressing view over pipes and a grubby internal courtyard. The room was dark and depressing, think Philip Larkin’s “Mr Bleaney”. I thought it was one of the worst value hotels rooms I’ve stayed in, even in Paris a city notorious for the poor quality of its hotels. I’d avoid.

I had not success with the supoort to find a taxi to the airport

First off, I absolutely love this neighborhood. The 11th, to me, is the perfect area in Paris to stay. And I’d stay at this Ibis again based on that alone. As far as the hotel itself, it was good. My first floor room was small but comfortable and had a nice view of the neighborhood. Everything worked. There isn’t much luggage storage space but that’s ok. The front desk was a mixed experience. The woman who checked me in was really kind and efficient. But I found the men who worked the front desk to be a bit… unfriendly? Unwelcoming? All in all a good budget hotel in a fantastic part of Paris. As I said, I’d stay again and generally recommend.
