ibis budget Paris Porte de Montreuil bintang 2

This was the first time we travelled to Paris (along with our 14 year old son) and decided to stay at the IBIS Budget hotel. Our expectations were not very high as we were aware that IBIS Budget does not come with full services. But in a period when there was extreme heat in Paris, the air conditioning of the room allotted did not work. We complained to the lady at the reception and she changed the room but the AC did not work there as well. On complaining again, she said she cannot do and I have to change the room next morning. It was a horrific night for us, in a closed room without any windows and no air conditioning. It spoiled our experience in Paris and we decided to avoid IBIS hotels. They did not have a technician in the night who could check the air conditioning. Other than this, the bathroom was really old and was not in good shape. Room was below average with the bed having chippings and the bedsheets looked old. The area also does not feel very safe, though there is a huge carrefour. The roads near the hotel have really bad smell (read urine smell).

Myself and my husband and 7 year old stayed at this hotel on Monday 10th April for 1 night in room 1118. We had an absolutely dreadful room and as a result a really awful stay. We did address our issues at reception but the two gentlemen on duty said they could not assist us and that we would need to email the hotel. The room was unclean, filthy floors in the bedroom and bathroom. The sink was blocked, and was backing up dirty water which was very smelly. The sink was chipped and very sharp, this was dangerous with a small child in the room. The paint on the headboard was chipped and bits keep falling all over the bedding, again very unsafe with a child in the room. The stairs down to the car park are filthy with a very bad smell of urine which was dreadful. For our first stay in Paris we were so upset. I have emailed the hotel customer service twice now with absolutely no response. AVOID THIS HOTEL - absolutely dreadful

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,
