ibis Paris Gare De L'est Tgv

Small room overlooking something below couldn’t quite make out what. But got quiet noisy when people where downstairs and the window was open. Room smelt of smoke and as a non smoker this wasn’t great and the bathroom was worst for smoking smell. Bathroom was okay in terms of cleanliness. Shower pressure in morning wasn’t great but better in early evening. Bathroom definitely needed a facelift as did the entire hotel. Had to spray deodorant to make it more bearable. Wasn’t asked if I wanted a smoking or non smoking room on arrival. Aircon in room kept making the room hotter rather than cooler. Breakfast is okay and wifi is good. Close to Gare L’est station.

The hotel is in a great place if you want to tour the city. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. We were very pleased with our visit since the receptionists and the staff are very nice and helpful. We felt welcomed and if we go to Paris again we are definitely coming back in this hotel.

The hotel is very close to the train station gare de l’est so it is very convenient for a solo traveller like me. The room is not too small with double bed, the bathroom is ample, the shower has extension glass so the water does not splash to the floor and overall the room and bath room are clean. The AC works well. For crashing a few nights, this hotel is adequate. The other plus point, the staff who handled me, Tatiana, was professional yet friendly and helpful. Just to remind to those who is light sleepers, the window doesn’t have thick curtain so the light from outside makes the room a little bright during the night, and occasionally, some drunken people pass by and scream below. I was on the first floor so I could hear it clearly. But I was too tired to be bothered! Overall, good stay. Will definitely stay again when I need to be close to the station.

It started with me getting early, 2AM to the hotel on the 26/12/2020, since I had changes in trip schedules, so I passed by to deposit my luggages as I was heading to the airport to meet my gf, I asked if I could rest a bit in the lobby for like half an hr. The receptionist answered “No” in a very offensive way, claiming that these are the regulations. So I ended up on wandering in the streets before going to the airport. Rude staff. No communication skills whatsoever, was asking, since we got an early check-in, if we could somehow get another room. The answer was: No, we won’t be doing the cleaning for the room you used. Asked about the air conditioning, if this was the maximum heat it can give: the answer was, do you need more than that? And finally, no room service, you call to get food or extra towels, you need to go down to the reception to get them...

We stayed here as part of a Topdeck tour and enjoyed it here. The buffet breakfast was great! Very close to the train station. Staff were friendly and the rooms were very comfortable. I would recommend.
