The first difficulty was finding the hotel. We did not realise that there are (at least) four Ibis hotels with the title 'Gare de l'Est - and we went to the other three before we found our hotel.. We did not realise that '10eme' is the vital identifier. It is an economy hotel, but the Continental Breakfast was very adequate. The staff were polite and helpful - although the receptionist did not seem to know about on-line check-in and insisted on us completing registration forms. Our room on the fifth floor was reached by a lift that would only accommodate one of us at a time. The room itself was very adequate and we we were comfortable in it. The location is very good within easy walking distance of Gare de lEst and Gare du Nord, with good Metro and Bus links.

The hotel`s position is extremely good, near both the Gare de l`Est and the Gare du Nord. The room was spotlessly clean, the beds very comfortable and the shower one of the best we`ve encountered. The triple room was a bit too small for three people, but otherwise we have absolutely no complaints!

too small hotel, too small elevator, only 1 person and 1 bag can be in elevator. if there is an emergancy situation, what will happen? very interesting hotel. i'm sorry ibis 10eme, but this is true. servis and people are so good but the hotel's anatomy very bad.

nice staff but a real let down for an Ibis - I stay at Ibis a lot for work and never experienced one like this: with a dirty floor, a missing bedside table, and the cheapest toilet paper ever. My advice, go for a different Ibis nearby - Paris is hideously expensive and they are (usually) great!

Room was big but in a weird layout of a L shape. Airconditioning unit was at the short end and hence did not cool the room adequately. I was unable to sleep due to a warm room. Service at 10eme was ok, but the front office staff at the opposite Ibis was rude and did not seem capable to cope with guests’ requests
