Hotel in zona square Saint-Éloi, Parigi

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.

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

L'aria condizionata non funziona ancora, anche se c'è un po' di ventilazione e un ventilatore. Lucliky il tempo è meno caldo (32 gradi/27 gradi) quando sono lì, quindi non c'è bisogno di aprire la finestra di notte, ma ovviamente non è troppo comodo. Altrimenti la maggior parte delle strutture è ok, tuttavia non sono nelle condizioni originali quando erano classificate 4 *. Questo hotel dovrebbe essere classificato 3 * ora. La posizione va bene se si utilizza il pass per i mezzi pubblici, quindi è possibile prendere l'autobus 47 o camminare dalla stazione della metropolitana. Andare in centro città impiegando al massimo 30 minuti. Torniamo spesso a mezzanotte e la strada è luminosa e sicura.

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.

First things first, there effectively is no Lennon Hotel. There is no reception there and no breakfast room. Everything from the administration on is done through the Avalon Hotel next door so, make the assumption that you are going to the Avalon and you will not get lost or confused. The decor is both dated and modern at the same time. I would say, typically French so I am glad they didn't go all chain hotel and boring. The Bedroom - The choice of furniture I would question. In some pictures you can see what looks like a coat rack. This is the 'wardrobe' in the room. There are 6 hooks which may or may not have 6 hangers. Beneath that could well be a full size laptop safe (free to use) and under that, what I would have used as the shoe shelf. There really isn't anywhere for smaller items at all, they likely will stay in your luggage. With the lighting it's either bright or very bright so, there wasn't really an option to have it dimly lit though there are a selection of ceiling light, wall lamps and table lamps, they are all bright. Our room (100) was not a king size bed, I feel 4' 6” as it was certainly smaller than we are used to. In many pictures it shows the white bed pillows supplemented by small blue (green) ones. This is certainly not the case with every room. The Bathroom - I can but speak for our room as I understand other rooms have different configurations. We had a walk in shower with a rain shower head and a hand held spray adjusted using ornate handles. The toilet was on the wall. I personally don't like those, I feel incredibly unsafe especially when they creak like this one did when sat on. To make it worse, we're only 5' 3” and it's just too high, we felt like 5 year olds in need of a step stall. I wondered if this might not be aimed at wheelchair users as I am disabled but I do not use a chair but a mobility scooter (which there was plenty of room for). Then I consider the sink which is high up, too high for a wheelchair user. Of course, there is no chair in the shower either so, if it is meant to be an accessible room, it kind of isn't. The walls are done in tiles. Very mismatched tiles, not sure whether that was intentional or just years of different repairs and replacements. I feel that the light blue small square tiles were original but that when the shower, toilet and sink were last done they were not replicable so got replaced with blue rectangle tiles. The floor tiles are probably original but very worn and though they may have been, I never felt they were clean. Being a walk in shower the water got everywhere and the floor remained wet all night so we kept a towel on the floor by the door. Us British might find it weird to see a hairdryer in the bathroom right next to the sink, I think a plug socket too! The large round mirror was supposed to light up with a touch switch but, we never got it to work. The water pressure was though very good and combined shower gel/shampoo is provided as are ample towels which are s

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.

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.

Brand new, rooms are very nice, beds very comfortable. The hotel is 100 metres from a metro that takes less than half an hour into the centre of Paris. I would typically go for breakfast late and always found something to eat. Cleaning staff kept my room pristine throughout my stay, bed made every day when I got back from work. Price was very good too.
