ibis budget Paris Porte de Vanves bintang 2

Went to Paris at the end of January 2023 alone and chose this hotel mostly for the location (near Paris, near the subway and a quiet, safe neighbourhood). Enjoyed every minute of it (even though I spent the days out and only went back at the hotel to shower and sleep haha). The staff was really kind, polite and spoke english (my french is still far from fluent) as well. I arrived at the hotel earlier than expected and they gave me the option to store my lugagge and go out and enjoy the morning while waiting. Turns out the room got vacant sooner so they let me check in right away! Didn't try the breakfast but they offer it. I got the double room and the bed was really comfortable, clean sheets and towels every day. It's winter but it didn't get cold inside. I also loved the shower there! I couldn't be happier with my stay there!

I am a gold member of the hotel chain ans use the Group all over Europe, this hotel was the worse I have ecautered. I booked for 3 night and the Room was not made or clened for 2 days in the row. Staff helpless - They lazied about at the reception, and have very little care of clients, I have notified that the room was not made twice on separate dasy, but no one cared about it. Staff do not speak English at all. I have included, by mistake breakfast on the departing day, but I left the hotel at 4:00 to the airport, no discount was make or anything was prepared anyway, this is after I mentioned at the night shift staff that I was leaving at 4:00, and he said that a coffe and a small croissant would be available.

The hotel itself is conveniently located near public transportation hubs (metro and tram) and within walking distance of the Paris convention center (10-15 mins). The hotel appears quite modern and clean. The staff I encountered were polite, smiling, helpful and spoke English (very well). My room was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and large enough. The shower and toilet were in separate parts of the room, but they were clean and worked well. The bathroom door was a bit simple, large gaps at the top and bottom. The shower cubicle did the job. The sink is outside of the bathroom. The TV had English speaking channels. The Wifi worked without a hitch. I could hear the neighbors and street at times, but it was faint and not a problem. The breakfast selection was a bit simple, but it was sufficient and good. If I visit again I would rather buy breakfast outside the hotel. There are many restaurants and other options in the area. The local McDonalds is literally next door. A taxi or Uber from the hotel ranges between 55 and 68 Euros respectively. I would stay again, but it may not suit everyone.

OK, for this price you don't get a five star hotel, but for that money, everything was OK. It was a bit outside the city, but the metro station was nearby (5 min walk) and we were quick in the city. Anyway, the center of Paris is quite big, it doesn't really matter where you stay, as you have to take the metro anyway. As we became by car, it was very important that they had a garage (extra charge), what is very rare in Paris region. Parking outside the hotel was difficult, as it was expensive and limited for 5 hours. The staff was friendly and helpful. Some of them didn't speak English, but during daytime, there was always someone, who spoke English. During nighttime it was difficult, as the night clerk didn't speak English. The room was clean, sparely equipped and nothing was broken. The same for the bathroom, we had inside our room. As we had a room on the backside, it was almost quiet. The only thing, we didn't like was the breakfast. It was poor and not so good. But this doesn't prevent us to come again, as the breakfast is not included and additionally charged, so I recommend you not to take the breakfast and go somewhere else. You can find nearby McDonalds or beautiful little cafes, where local people go for their breakfast (if you like French style breakfast).

Ibis budget hotels are what they are. Don’t expect luxury. Just functional and tiny rooms. But clean and good WiFi service, under a low price. This homogeneity is a sign of reliability. No matter where you go. My prior experiences in Paris with affordable hotels were not good. So I decided to try this one at the edge of Vanves, but walking distance to the Latin quarter (and with a metro station anyhow 350 meters from the hotel). It was a quiet area (trains passing by did not bother us). A convenient Macdonalds in the same building as the hotel and supermarkets close by. If 3 persons stay in the room, one must sleep in the bum bed (better if such a person is a kid). The shower, albeit tiny, was quite good. And the price has no match in Paris.
