ibis Paris Porte d'Italie

After a long day of travelling and negotiating the Paris Metro I was tired and stressed when we arrived. A Polish woman on reception went out of her way to assist me and my children with working out the best way for us to reach Gare du Nord for an early Eurostar train by exploring the various options. We got there with plenty of time after a 15 minute walk to the nearest Metro station.

Location was ok, metro M7 is about 12mins walk through a very nice park. From there main Paris attractions like Louvre, Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe are easily reachable within 20-25mins. Lounge downstairs was nice, 24hrs bar. Paid parking underground.

Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Good standard for a cheaper hotel in an expensive city. There is a secure car park which is reasonably priced. Very practical location for us when we were there visiting to see Chelsea women play Paris F,C women at the. Charlety Stadium which was located a couple of minutes walk away.

Rooms were as described. It was really quiet, even Periferique is nearby. It's a nice budget hotel in case you need to stay in the area for a couple of days. Halloween decorations were fun.

15 minutes walk from the metro. We went to watch the football at the stadium round the corner from the hotel. The bar was still open and very busy after twelve o'clock when we arrived back. The breakfast was good and the staff were excellent. The room was a standard Ibis room.
