Hotel Ibis Budget a Issy-les-Moulineaux

We have never stayed at Ibis before; this was our firsthand experience with a budget hotel. Keeping in mind that the focus is on saving customers’ money, not providing luxury stay, I would have to say that it was very good for the money. We paid about 70 euro per night, considering that it was Paris, the price was difficult to beat. The staff was very friendly, but since there was usually only one person working at the front desk, if there was a line, you had to wait a while. There was parking available underneath the hotel for 9 euro per night, which is also a good deal. The mattresses were on the hard side, but this aspect is always a matter of preference. The rooms and the bathroom area were clean. The towels were small, but well absorbent. I will just go over pros and cons in my opinion. Pros: Parking on Premises, 9 Euro per night; very fast, reliable Wi-Fi; Good water pressure in the shower, consistent temperature, shower is large given the room dimensions; toilet in a separate space, large enough to use for changing if privacy was needed; location is great – T2 line is 1 min walk, C line is also very close, but we could not use it because it was under construction, a number of very good restaurants are right next to the hotel; despite busy area, it was reasonably quiet with the windows closed, and we did not hear our neighbors, except for the doors shutting, that are heavy and loud when closed. Cons: no lift from the parking to the lobby, one would have to unload luggage at the door before parking the car; no AC in the room, keeping the window open lets in cool air and HUGE number of mosquitos, there were signs of battle on the walls and ceiling when we moved in, we had our own numerous encounters until we bought bug spray in the pharmacy and sprayed around the window during the day and at night, and kept the lights off when the window was open, lesser number of mosquitos, but still they found their way in; very small room, barely space to open the suitcases, no chairs or tables, bed was the only sitting option; lack of sufficient number of outlets… we have a lot of devices to charge between the three of us, and there were only two easily usable outlets in the room, we made it work.
