ibis Paris Gare de Lyon Diderot 12ème

Paid €12.5 for a breakfast after a night here (room is tiny but clean) and had to wait in line 10 minutes as if this were a three-star Michelin restaurant, even though it was only 8:00 am. After sitting down I discover that there are no cups or glasses available (all taken... In a hotel with six floors and fifteen rooms per floor you only have a couple dozen cups? Go to IKEA and buy some, then), that the yogurt bowl is pretty much empty (shouldn't you replace it promptly?) and that there actually wasn't that much left to eat, for those€12.5 euros (not to mention the quality. The camembert would have made half of Normandy weep in embarrassment). Also, having one single elevator in a hotel with 150 people is akin to asking people to buy a lottery ticket if they want their money's worth. Service is absolutely pants.

This was perfect: a relatively cheap family room 5 mins walk from Gare De Lyon. Room clean with excellent shower and staff helpful. Good kebab shop over road for cheap filling meals and lots of bars in area.

We loved the breakfast here: way above average in a three star hotel: quality, quantity, variety were very good and the service around it was pure perfection: the people taking care of the buffet did a great job, rearranging everything all the time to keep it clean and all. We did not like the bed: way too warm because only a duvet, not a sheet, and the mattrass moving around all the time.

Having had our original 2020 booking cancelled, we were able to easily re-arrange our stay for 2022 - you can find the hotels direct email/phone number on the L'accor website which assisted us with re-organising our trip. This hotel was a stones throw from the Gare de Lyon which is an ideal location. The staff were friendly throughout our stay, and allow you to leave your luggage there upon check out and collect it later which was really ideal for us. The beds were comfy & clean. The breakfast had a variety of options, though the area can get busy around 08:30-09:30, meaning the small space where the breakfast is self-served becomes very congested. We especially liked the recyclable bags behind the trays which allowed you to make your own sandwiches or take any items with you for the day such as croissants etc. I would 100% recommend this hotel as a great spot for a comfy stay.

Excellent location with great facilities & friendly staff. Small rooms & lift but very clean & modern facilities at a reasonable price. Comfortable beds & hot showers, with great views over Paris. Tasty self service breakfast & games in lobby to entertain kids. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Will stay again.
