ibis budget Paris Porte de Montmartre 2 gwiazdki

WORST HOTEL EVER. There were insects everywhere—I found three huge centipedes in my room. Absolutely disgusting. The food in the canteen was far from fresh; most of the bread was dry and rock hard, making it nearly impossible to even break in half. Their coffee machine looked filthy, you could tell from a distance it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. And to make things worse, the hotel is surrounded by homeless people, which made me feel really unsafe. There are also three loud clubs nearby, so it’s noisy, dirty, and the area smells like piss everywhere. It felt genuinely dangerous at night, and I wouldn’t recommend going out alone after dark. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

If you are after a four star experience you would be better off paying more, if you want a clean, comfortable and cheap room with good transport connections then this hotel is a good choice. I have stayed at Ibis Budget hotels in France and the UK many times. Yes, the area is probably not the best in Paris but I felt safe. I found reception staff to be friendly…if you treat them with respect. Maps of Paris were freely available on reception and staff tried their best to answer my questions. The big plus here is the microwave free to use in reception- great for heating up your meals. Don’t bother with buying meals to heat from the hotels vending machine where an Hamburger currently costs €7.00, instead go to Lidl supermarket a good 8 minutes walk behind the hotel where ready made meals cost from €2.00 upwards. Get your meals and food from there and take back to the hotel. Rooms are functional but comfortable, beds might be a little hard for some. Ask nicely for a room at the back of the hotel, not the front as it borders on the Peripheral Road that circles Paris - and the traffic goes along the road all day and night. Good heating but I could not see any air conditioning which is a must in the hotter summer months. Book an hotel instead with air conditioning in summer. Breakfast typical of most budget chains in France; baguette, brioche, fresh apples, ham, Emmental cheese slices, cornflakes,tinned fruit salad, juices and good coffee. A good bakers is a 4 minutes walk behind the hotel if you want a cheaper do it yourself option. If you like a good street market there is one almost on your doorstep at weekends - mostly a flea market but expect hawkers trying to sell you what looked like original apple AirPods- if you barter well enough you will get a pair for €10, expect too fake designer watches and cheap packets of contraband cigarettes. Not a place for ladies to walk through on their own, however there is a Police presence and it is safe to visit this lively experience. If you are travelling to the hotel from CDG airport by train, metro and tram, it takes from 45 minutes to 90 minutes to get to the hotel depending on how busy it is. This is my third time staying at this hotel and would visit again, ideal for the budget conscious traveller.the party

With a Ibis budget, you always know what you are gonna get. It's a somewhat clean room with a horrible shower and bathroom. The surrounding are is ugly and there is no restaurant close by. Metro stations are also a bit far. I recommend only if you have a very tight budget.

Went for a midweek break between the Olympics, their were certain things that I should have thought about before hand, like just how hot Paris gets in the summer but we learn from our mistakes. The hotel was in a terrible area, we arrived by Taxi, the driver told us to lock the cab doors when we were approaching the hotel as they was a street maket area that he said was very dangerous and that we should not leave the hotel in that direction. The hotel and rooms were very basic which we expected for the price in Paris, but we did not expect the staff to be so rude and disrespectful. The rooms were unbearably hot with no air con or fans, when we left the hotel to explore we took the taxi drivers advice and turned right out of the hotel, this took us right through the middle of a homeless settlement mattresses on the side walks whole families living out there, this made me feel very unsafe with my 5 year old.

Night staff is terrible, ignorant and not helpful. My wife wanted to ask about checkout and when she said hello he replied with ‘what’ and we could tell he didn’t want to talk. She asked anyway and we got ‘not our problem, checkout is checkout’
