Hotel in zona Péniche Louise Catherine, Parigi

Dopo un lungo viaggio, abbiamo ricevuto una bella notte, al nostro arrivo, e il signore che ci ha controllati era molto amichevole, non c'era nulla di problema, e si è assolutamente assicurato che avessimo tutto quello che volevamo. Le camere erano assolutamente belle dopo un giorno di viaggio e i letti erano molto comodi. Le camere non erano massicce, ma perfettamente adeguate, pulite e comode. Grande posizione per la partenza precoce dalla Gare de Lyon. Molti ristoranti locali da camminare. Usaremo di nuovo questo hotel in futuro per viaggiare attraverso Parigi. Grazie al amichevole manager che ci ha salutati.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have had in my many years of travelling. If you are a woman on your own or women on your own, for safety reasons I would go elsewhere. During our short stay, we experienced bullying, aggression and harassment particularly by the man who sometimes did the night shift at reception. We also had regular issues with the woman at reception, Marie, taking away the tea cups we asked for from our room. The other lovely Irish lady at reception kindly lent us a kettle, so we asked for cups to use with this rather than the paper cups provided, which disintegrated if used more than once. On one of the occasions when we called reception again to ask for cups, as they had been pettily taken away from our room once again, this man said he couldn't help and said to ask tomorrow (aggressively!). Then I pleaded with him and he said to come down and get them, which I did. He gave me, once again, some very small, decidedly not for tea, disposable paper cups and said otherwise he couldn't help. We had been given cups by other members of staff previously but this man, egged on by Marie, was adamantly unhelpful. Finally, after much pleading, he went into the kitchen and I followed him because he had not understood which cups I was talking about and I wanted to show him, and he then started yelling at me even though I had not raised my voice at all and squared up to me as if to intimidate me, an elderly 70 year old woman, shouting and swearing and acting in a very aggressive and violent manner. Luckily a fellow guest, an Irish man, caught him in the act and jumped to my defence, truly shocked by this man's uncalled-for treatment of an elderly woman - he was a true hero, who knows what would have happened if he hadn't intervened. The man from reception then turned on the Irish guest and swore at him and insulted him for about 10-15 minutes, getting aggressive towards him too. Finally when the man at reception would not stop yelling, I and my daughter went up to our room with the cups shaken by the whole horrible experience and then went out a little later after turning the TV off, and switching off our lights. When we returned from dinner, the front door of the hotel was locked (which had never happened before) and the reception man was nowhere to be seen, after we buzzed he finally appeared and unlocked the door. When we then went up to our room, we found the lights on, the TV on very loud and the Do Not Disturb sign that we had put on the door turned over to say Please Make Up Room Now, obviously someone had been in our room. We did ask the man to help us call the police but he refused, so we called them on our own phone and they told us we should head to our local station. We thought we would see how things went and instead barricade our door to avoid the man intruding while we slept. Needless to say, we slept very badly, absolutely terrified and very shaken for the remainder of our stay. This behaviour is absolutely i

Io e mio marito abbiamo soggiornato in una camera doppia superiore per due giorni all'inizio di marzo. Abbiamo avuto una splendida vista sul parco e sulla Torre Eiffel. La stanza è bella da guardare, ma un po' danneggiata in alcune parti (ad esempio la doccia). Il problema più grande della stanza era il sistema di ventilazione, che ha profumi di drenaggio diverse volte, il pulitore fa il suo lavoro, mentre pulisce quotidianamente la stanza, ma il problema è esclusivamente la ventilazione. Potrei anche ricordare che si possono sentire le sedie spostate nel bar nella stanza, e suggerire che ogni giorno si faccia una scelta diversa per la colazione, perché è stata la stessa colazione due volte. Vorrei concludere, tuttavia, con l'elogio del personale, che è stato sempre amichevole.

Yes, rooms are very small by US standards, smaller than the smallest room I saw at the College Park (Atlanta Airport) Econo Lodge. However, they are twice as big as what they call “single rooms” in London’s budget hotels, which are half way between the traditional English phone booth and a small US closet, where you sleep in a tiny 90 centimeters army cot WITHOUT AC for the price you pay at the Los Angeles LAX Sheraton! At this CHOICE COMFORT HOTEL PORTE D’IVRY at least, you will sleep in a double bed in a small but clean room WITH AC, tiny desk and phone, and a full bath with the biggest shower (3 times bigger) that I’ve ever seen in Europe, together with the one of room 823 at the Orly Best Western Plus, which is the same size. It also has a sink with a hair dryer and a private “wishing well”, the greatest invention of mankind… Those amenities such as a big refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board that I always see in all CHOICE HOTELS (whether Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Clarion, etc.) in the US for around $100 with buffet breakfast included, are just a dream in Europe, so forget about it! I’ll say the same about the ice machine, which we find even in cheapest motels, and sometimes on every floor in high-end hotels like the Clarion. Forget it! The only place where I have seen an ice machine outside of the US was at the Gran Hotel Argentino in Buenos Aires, after I harassed the manager during more than seven years asking for it during every trip in the 1990s! THE MAIN ASSET of this Comfort Hotel Porte d’Ivry is its LOCATION. A short 4 blocks walk will put you at “Porte d’Ivry”, where you will see the terminal of bus 27 to go to “Quartier Latin”, “Notre-Dame”, “Opéra” and “Gare Saint-Lazare”, and also the terminal of bus 83, which will take you to “Port Royal” and “Sèvres-Babylone”. At the same “Porte d’Ivry”, you will also see the “Métro” (subway) line 7 going from “La Courneuve” in the north of Paris to “Mairie d’Ivry” in the south. If you enjoy traveling underground, this line will take you straight to “Chatelet” and “Opéra”. But I prefer to do that journey with bus 27. Last but not least, at that “Porte d’Ivry”, you will be able to take TRAM 3a, which circles Paris on the south and will take you from “Pont du Garigliano” on the west, to “Porte de Vincennes” on the east, where you will be able to take TRAM 3b, which circles Paris on the north side, and will take you to “Porte de la Chapelle”, where you will be able to take bus 350 to Roissy CDG. And if you fly to Orly, as I do with Iberia via Madrid, now that American Airlines have discontinued their nonstop flights 62 and 63 between Miami and Paris, then you can take the ORLYBUS and get off at the first stop in Paris, by my beloved Cité Universitaire, where I lived the best five years of my long life in the 1960s, then walk a block to “Montsouris” and take TRAM 3a to “Porte d’Ivy”, only six stations away. The bus and subway tickets, which I had always known since

La catena Ibis budget è una garanzia di sistemazioni senza fronzoli ma di pulizia e prezzi imbattibili. L'hotel si trova a 5 fermate di autobus (24) dalla Gare de Lyon, ottimo per chi resta poco in albergo e non cerca i quartieri glamour di Parigi. In 10/15 minuti siete in stazione e da qui con la metro ovunque, la fermata del bus è a 50 metri dall'hotel, se poi volete fare 2 passi in più potete prendere la linea 7 della metro a 1 km circa. Le camere basiche ma con tutto il necessario, cambio asciugamano su richiesta, letto comodo. Personale molto molto accogliente e disponibile dal ricevimento al personale delle pulizie. Non abbiamo usuffruito della colazione, adiacente si trova un piccolo centro commerciale il Bercy 2. Consigliato a chi resta poco in camera e carca pulizia e convenienza.

Esperienza in questo hotel da cancellare assolutamente. L’ultima sera del mio soggiorno presso questa struttura, rientro in hotel e trovo il bagno della mia camera completamente sporco, bagnato a terra, qualcuno aveva utilizzato il wc, senza tirare lo sciacquone , e anche la doccia. Non hanno saputo dare spiegazioni, nessuno si è occupato di pulire il bagno, hanno soltanto detto che l’indomani avrebbero controllato le telecamere (cosa non fatta). Il ragazzo della reception è stato gentile ed è venuto a controllare personalmente. Ho chiesto di aver cambiato la stanza e hanno risposto che avevo tutto occupato. Stanze veramente poco pulite, entrando c’è un cattivo odore. Dopo questa esperienza valuto questo hotel poco affidabile, vi consiglio vivamente di spendere qualcosa in più per un’altra struttura, piuttosto che ritrovarvi in queste situazioni sgradevoli.

Hotel ubicato in un tranquillo quartiere, ben servito dalla metro Pernety; caratterizzato dalla presenza di scuole, supermercati, bistrot, boulangerie, ecc. risulta abbastanza sicuro e ben collegato alla stazione Montparnasse, ricca di attività commerciali e ristoranti, tra cui il famoso Boullion Chartier. Camera piccola, ma completa. Colazione accettabile, prodotti dolci come croissant, marmellate, frutta secca ecc.

Ci piace molto questo hotel. Perché è in un'ottima posizione per i trasporti pubblici, la metropolitana è a soli 50 metri e l'autobus è proprio di fronte all'hotel. I receptionist sono molto cordiali e disponibili. Questa volta hanno rinnovato la nostra camera. L'hotel è stato recentemente ristrutturato, quindi tutto sembra pulito.

I stayed at this hotel for four weeks in June and July. My experience here was disappointing, starting from the moment that I checked in. My reservation stated that fees and taxes were included and the final amount to be paid at the hotel was shown. I reserved “connecting studios for 4 people” and I was charged an extra 210 Euros at check-in without being told. When I questioned this later, I was told that there is a tax of $2.50 per person per night and the reservation amount only included this tax for one person, so I was charged for the other 3 people at check-in. However, I was still overcharged. One person was under 18 and should not have been charged at all. Another person was leaving early. I was able to eventually get a partial refund because of this. When I chose this hotel, I was looking for one that had air conditioning, and this feature is stated on the website for the hotel. When we arrived, it was very hot in both rooms and the temperature cannot be adjusted in the room. When I tried to get the air conditioning fixed, I was told that the temperature cannot be decreased under 26 degrees Celsius (78.8 Fahrenheit). The temperature cannot be controlled from the room. Most of the time, it seemed that the A/C wasn’t even on, and I was so hot that I was sweating. I did notice that the temperature in the lobby was always much cooler than in our rooms though. If you are looking for a hotel with air conditioning, you won’t be comfortable here. The customer service varied greatly depending on who was at the front desk. Some people were great and some definitely were not. The rooms are only cleaned once per week, but I didn’t mind that. The hotel uses thin, papery mattress covers that seem to be disposable and continually slip off of the mattress. I found myself constantly trying to put the mattress covers and sheets back in place to avoid sleeping on the bare mattress. The covers tear very easily, which made it difficult. This was very annoying. Overall, our stay wasn’t horrible, but we didn’t enjoy this hotel and were happy to check out. I won’t stay here the next time that I am in Paris for an extended stay.

Got back from Paris yesterday after having a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff are extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. All staff were extremely polite,smiley and helpful. My initial stay was for 2 nights but I managed to extend to a further night which I have never done before. The hotel is only 5 yrs old so quite new and well maintained. Has modern features like touch showers and coffee machines in the rooms. Very tidy. There is a metro station, buses a couple of cafes and large supermarket all within 5-10 mins walk. For the price and what you get I did not mind staying outside central Paris. For just €8.45 you can get an all day pass (bus and train) for Clichy and Central Paris. Only reason I did not give it a 5 was because the water on the shower was luke warm on 2 days (room 220). Also iron and mini-fridge have to be requested. Special mentions to Louis (night manager) and all three young ladies Iet and made my birthday and stay magical. Please keep it up. I will definitely come again
