ibis Paris Grands Boulevards Ópera 9ème 3 estrelas

The location of this Hotel is what immediately attracted us to stay here - there's no denying it's in a great spot. Walking distance from the louvre and montmartre. The majority of the photos of the hotel seem to be advertising the foyer, reception and dining area which are all relatively modern and nicely decorated. However our room really wasn't great and I would have expected much more for the price of around £200 per night. We went on NYE so this may have increased the price we paid, however the 4 star trip advisor rating also was not reflected in the room. Our en suite was a wet room with a blocked shower drain that flooded the entire bathroom every time one of us took a shower. It also smelt really quite bad in the bathroom and generally didn't really feel very clean. My last gripe would be that they took £200 out of my account 7 days before I arrived at the hotel and still hasn't been returned 5 days after checking out (this is out-with the cost of the room which was paid in full on arrival). I don't believe I was told this would happen when I booked the room and this has never happened to me before so I am quite annoyed about it. I've never had any kind of 'deposit' taken from my account days before arriving at a hotel and not been given it back for further days after. Despite this the staff were very friendly and helpful and our stay wasn't impacted by the quality of room.

The moment I got an email from Mariam, the hotel staff few days before we arrived asking us how they could make our stay more comfortable, i knew we were in for a good stay. i was actually excited because our previous stay with Ibis Styles Bercy was a big letdown & worst experience we had in an Ibis Hotel chain. We checked in a bit earlier that usual around 12:30pm and usually check in time was 2pm and violaaa, our room was ready! Plus we got our welcome drinks as part of being an Accor Silver member. A great way to start our day in Paris! When we got into our room i was so impressed, the rooms was clean and it was larger than what you expect in an Ibis hotel, it was well lit with 2 windows that has view of the street which was AMAZING and the entire room was even carpeted! For a while i thought i was staying at Novotel! It has amenties that will make you feel comfortable and not cramped like it has spacious cabinet with dividers & hangers, long dresser table to place your stuff and has even a small cozy space near the window with a small table and comfy chair. The bed was clean and linens and towels are changed daily if you request it. Toilet was larger than usual, like twice larger than the one weve stayed in before! The hotel has impeccable location, it was just few meters away from 3 metro stations, the nearest is Le Peletier M7 line, the vibe of the neighborhood is very Parisian with a lot of cafes, resto, grocery store, fast food and hidden bistros in the area you can explore. You can even walk to the Lourve Museum, Grand Palais and Grand La Fayette shopping from here for 10-15min. Overall, it was the best stay we had in Paris & France in terms of location, amenities & service. I wanted to give it a 10/10 but i have issues with the shower gel that was not refilled in our 5 day stay & the noise of the adjacent room so just 8/10 for now. If its your first time to go in Paris & youre on a budget but want to have a comfortable stay, look no further & book this hotel! I will be definitely staying here again when I come back to Paris. I hope the hotel maintains & improve some more on their good service to its guest. All the best & from the bottom of our hearts, Merci bou coup for a wonderful stay!

Really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The hotel is situated in a great location, across the road you will find some wonderful pattiserie's. We stayed in room 332 located which ws tucked away and meant minimum noise. The rooms were quite spacious, especially for a Paris hotel. I really enjoyed the free coffee in the downstairs area, I found this area very relaxing and had a nice vibe. I would 100% return to this hotel as it's staff were very friendly, location was excellent and is all you really need for a city break.

Positives: - staff very polite and friendly - room was clean and good size - hotel in a good location, lots of bars and restaurants. Felt very safe walking around in evening. Approximately 20 minute walk to Louvre and 40 minute-1 hour walk to main sights. Negatives: -breakfast was very limited, and staff started to pack away/remove food during operating hours. -no bar on site, but there is a small supermarket over the road if you wish to pick up some drinks for your room. Overall a good stay, but expected a bit more for the price we paid.

The hotel is located conveniently in walking distance from all major historical attractions. This is the only benefit of this hotel. Rooms are extremely small and noisy. The hotel staff is pretty rude. Breakfasts are more than frugal. If you pay approximately 250 euro per night you normally expect more.
