ibis budget Paris Porte de Montreuil 2 stars

I'm writing this review whilst I'm still staying in the hotel, but I don't see how it can get worse. It's the worst hotel I've ever stayed and I don't say this lightly: I've stayed in some very poor hostels, but nothing that compares to this ibis. I'm doing a long stay, and when I checked in, the employee at the front desk was super nice saying that he would put me in a nice room; I've booked a triple room and they allocated me in a double one, just below a bedroom they're refurbishing. I'm having a migraine and trying to recover from it whilst listening to a drill and hammer the whole morning - and very loud, since the sound isolation is inexistent (you can hear people's phones vibrating in other bedrooms). The "desk" they mention when you book is actually a small poor plastic table and chair. There's no wardrobe or space to put your clothes (I'm keeping mine on the window sill and in a bar I improvised by buying hangers myself). The shower is badly designed and it gets soaked every time you shower. There's no "don't disturb" sign to leave at the door - I've asked for it at the front desk of both (regular and budget ibis) and they didn't have it -, so my alternative was to write it in a piece of paper and attach it to the door. The aircon doesn't work, and it can get uncomfortably hot in the bedroom. I could carry on, but I think this enough. If you have the option, stay somewhere else! Oh! And be prepared for 5min wait in average for the lift, or use the stairs.

Superb location and great price, perfect for getting the metro into the centre of Paris, lots of fab restaurants in the area and a market just outside the door at the weekend, would highly recommend it, private parking too

I have travelled around the countries a lot. Never seen place like this, Price was ok, hotel needs a lot of good renovation, so disappointed for 4 nights staying it wasn't safe, room lights not working properly, breakfast was horrible, I wouldn't recommend to stay there anyone around me,

absolutely horrible experience. showers smelt like sewers and were not clean. no safe in room. cleaners didn’t come at all. fell unsafe in area and hotel. wouldn’t recommend especially for young women. overpriced for what it actually is .

That staff in the Ibis/Ibis-Budget hotels not always is friendly and helpful, is well known. But the one at the Ibis Budget desk was the number one. We were the clients. HE had a problem with his machine, because HE couldn't activate the access cards. Instead of solving his problem, HE started yelling at clients. All and alone therefore: Zero Points.
