ibis budget Paris Porte d'Italie Ouest

We visited Paris for 3 nights , 4 days. I was apprehensive as its a budget hotel but I was blown away by this establishment. Check in was a breeze, nice friendly staff. Parking we paid for was around £15 a day. The carpark was very tight as we were in a 7 seater but it was secure and on site which is a blessing in Paris. The rooms are basic with a double bed and bunk setup, two rooms we had were identical. One with a view of the hotel front and another the hotel rear, both rooms only about 5 metres apart. Nice clean bed linen, towels and handtowels. Body and hair wash complementary in pump attached to shower wall. There was a TV in each room with remote on which we watched the ladies European championships final. Breakfast was 6am to 930am. Continental breakfast , coffees and juice. Plentiful and always stocked up. Kids loved it.. Hotel was a 10 min walk from metro station and commuting to various area of the city was a really easy. The only minor thing was noise on one night (around 130am) of other guests on our floor, this I know is something that can't be helped but it really would not deter us returning to this hotel or recommending it. Great value for money, great breakfasts, parking onside and good location for communities. We recommend to anyone.

Well located, close to public transport 10 minutes on foot to reach Paris. Clean hotel and room. Welcoming and friendly staff. Very good breakfast. Slept very well because the hotel was quiet and without problems.

Our hotel was a package deal selected by our agency. We were assured that the hotel was suitable and adequate. Upon arrival we could readily see it was not. The lobby was unsightly as was the total surroundings. Our room was so small until there was no way it could accommodate two people. WE literally had o pass our suitcase across the bed to get it to the other side of the roos since there was not enough space between the bed and the wall. The television was small and the remote didn't work. The bed only had a sheet and a blanket. There was no telephone in the room incase you needed to contact the front desk. The worse part is just as we exited the taxi there was an unsavory looking man standing tolling us as it he was going to rob us. The view out of the window was horrible as there is graffiti everywhere, poorly kept grounds. When you walk out of the front you are almost standing in the streets. Because of the untidiness of the hotel we refused to partake in the breakfast offered. This hotel lives up to its name 'BUDGET". I would urge any person looking to stay her to find a different hotel. This hotel is well below any decent persons living standard and is in my opinion only suitable for homeless drifters. Buyer Beware.

It is a budget hotel. The room was small BUT there was room to put clothes away, a small desk area, a tv, a shower, a separate toilet and a sink. It was clean and warm. The bed was comfy. I had no complaints whatsoever. I didn’t have the breakfast so I can’t comment. The staff were really helpful and they have dispensing machine downstairs if you’re peckish or thirsty. They also had a dispensing machine for emergency items (I bought a plug adaptor from it). It is a bit of a walk from the metro (Porte d’Italie), about 7 minutes. Not a picturesque location either but totally easy to access and within walking distance of all amenities. If you’re strapped for cash, it’s a good hotel.

Arrived at the hotel in Paris, was checked in fine then arrived at the room. We booked a wheelchair accessible room as my friend is in a wheelchair and cannot stand or step. The room we got was not accessible in any way - they could hardly get into the room with the wheelchair, we had to take the motorised part off. I phoned down to reception as we got promised an accessible room and they informed us that they had a competition on so they took all 6 of the wheelchair accessible rooms and didn’t give us one - they could have let us know beforehand so we could find alternative suitable accommodation in Paris. My friend literally had to leave their wheelchair outside the door just to use the toilet - it was impossible to get inside the bathroom in the chair. Similarly, they also had to sit on the floor of the shower just to use it, along with getting me to lift the head off the shower stand because it was really high up. There was a long black hair on one of the towels we were provided (pictured) yet neither of us who stayed have that colour hair. Similarly, there were dead bugs in our room, yet we never opened the window... Pros - - Close to Gentilly underground station - Had air conditioning and it was 30 degrees celsius when we were there Cons - - All of the above I know this isn’t relevant to the hotel but for travellers in a wheelchair who are thinking of visiting Paris - Paris isn’t particularly wheelchair accessible either, which we didn’t know about beforehand and the hotel didn’t bother to let us know this fact. We struggled to use the metro trains (underground) as nobody told us how to at the help desk or even when we turned the self-service machine into English. Turns out you can get a “pollution” ticket if it is particularly bad, which makes it cost around €3 for the full day travelling. Most busses in Paris were accessible and the underground is in part - staff need to assist with a ramp (and I have limited knowledge of french so this was particularly difficult).
