ibis Styles Paris Bercy 3 stars

Red alert!! We were on the 8th floor and all the odd numbered rooms overlooked Le Papa Cabane which is an outdoor club playing very loud dance music until 22.30 on Thursday and Friday and 23.30 on Saturday. Don't know if this is only over the summer but the glazing was poor and not enough to drown out the racket. It was so loud, we couldn't drown it out with the TV. We had no warning from the hotel when we booked and being a loyalty club member, we will be taking it up with the chain. Room was small with very little space for 2 adults to move around. Bathroom needed redoing as there was mould in the sealant and corners were very grubby. Small towels too. Good breakfast though. Everywhere seemed pricey this weekend so we didn't have much choice but there has to be better options than this for the price.

slow check in and waiting as well.

While this location is not near the central Paris district it is only a short distance, even with luggage, to and from the Bercy train station without any stairs and thus perfect for coming for from Auxerre after a long day. It was also close to the Bastille / Nation area where we were meeting friends. Despite this being our main reason for staying here we found the Bercy district quite interesting. We visited the Parc de Bercy, Bercy village, Lake Daumesnil and part of the Bois de Vincennes nearby and found these a pleasant escape from the bustle of Paris. We hadn't made a pre-booking so I appreciated that they advertise their prices clearly and they were able to check us in. There are a number of bars and entertainment areas and the foyer is decorated with shelving and knick- knacks to give it a more interesting atmosphere. We took the option with the included breakfast and enjoyed the buffet with indoor and outdoor seating. The fresh orange juice was excellent. The room was fine though not particularly memorable. There was a small open hanging area with a three quarter mirror. It has a small rolling table that be used in bed. The prefabricated shower had good pressure and everything worked well. It would benefit from a small fridge but that is something we have found that the Ibis chain do not tend to have.

Really close to the bus station, early check in available, great room and easy transport in area. Perfect hotel.

Great and friendly staff, good location, good breakfast ! This Hotel has NOTHING to compare of a regular NOVOTEL...... more like a 2** ..... Novotel brand is usually higher end.... this one compares more than a regular Ibis hotel.
