ibis Paris 17 Clichy-Batignolles 3 yıldız

The room was the tiniest ever and in definite need of an upgrade. We arrived on Thurs 1st Aug and were staying for 4 nights on Saturday Sunday and Monday we had no hot water in the middle of a heat wave. I complained to reception but was told it was the whole hotel. On Sunday I contacted Easy jet and they said they reported to reception but had got no response. As I booked through easy jet I got a £50 voucher..not much use when we just wanted a shower. Convenient to transport hub . The whole place is dated and I wonder do easyJet ever visit these hotels. I'm sure there are much better hotels in paris.

After reading all the bad reviews we were concerned but I can honestly say this is the perfect base for a Paris get away. Yes the rooms are small but in all honestly why would you want to be in your room for long periods of time? Our room was cleaned everyday, beds made and fresh towels. The only complaint I would have is that the bar doesn’t open on weekends and no kettle or fridge in rooms so impossible to get any sort of drink. When the bar opened on the Monday of our visit it made things much easier. Very close to the train station and Uber into the city (Eiffel tower etc) very reasonable. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice.

Got more annoyed as the trip went on due the treatment of staff. Every time you ask something they brush you off. We bought a late check-out but clearly the staff did not relay that to the cleaning staff as they tried to come into our room 2 times whilst we were sleeping. I once dropped my keycard he picked it up and I asked for it, he said go I don’t know, go to reception for a new one. We were made to walk around to get water because staff told us water was 3€ but there was a free water station. My mums neck and back were in pain but they wouldn’t give us an extra pillow because we already used the spare one as the pillows are so thin. We couldn’t use the toilet without a card. Location was good though as you were near 2 metro stations.

Not the greatest place to stay Good points Easy access the city from 3 different metro stations within 6 min walk Breakfast was nice Paris was very nice Bad points We selected late check out and the cleaning team kept trying to come in and clean. Management clearly didn’t make them aware it was a late checkout room Requested and extra pillow as two people in the room and they said we only give you the one that is supplied you can’t have another one which left me with a sore neck for my trip . 1st day asked for water and was told to use the vending machines which charge 3 euro in coins I had no coins so I asked reception where the shop is which was round the corner I got the water, later in the evening found out you can get water for free from the bar as they have a water station . Reception long ques and generally staff unhelpful .

Stayed for three nights, room was great and comfy, really friendly staff, especially Thomas at reception who was extremely helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Really like the area it was welcoming away from the hustle and bustle of Paris city centre.
