Hotel ibis Paris Bastille Opera 11ème

This hotel has a very nice foyer, nice seating, pity the rooms were not as attractive. The rooms are extremely basic. Tiny bathroom, though does have a hairdryer. No tea-tray in the rooms. It’s uncivilised not to provide a tea coffee tray in the small rooms. It’s is very clean and there are quite a few bars and restaurants in the vicinity.

It was a very good hotel. I would have liked to watch a TV that could translate to English. They do have those now. It was very clean and the staff was AMAZING!!

The lobby of this place is beautiful, but the pictures didn't really show how bad the condition of the room was. When I checked in for new year's eve I had paid 3 days which cost me 477 dollars. NYE was 186 usd. When I pay that much for a hotel I expect it to be nice. The room wasn't in good shape, It was very small and we didn't even have hand towels or a bath mat in the bathroom. There were also so many people there that the water wasn't very warm. After New Year's Eve the hot water issue resolved itself. The bathroom was tiny and the flooring and walls had water damage. It would not have been an issue if it weren't for the price. I have traveled Europe quite a lot and know things are different. I just think if someone is going to charge a premium price they should at least offer a bath mat for when you get out of the shower. I ended up seeing a cart in the hall and grabbed a bath mat for my room. The breakfast was good, the service was great, the location was good it was really just the room that wasn't great. I stayed at another hotel in the area when I first arrived that charged me way less and was nicer.

Hotel location is the best. You walk into a trendy lobby then everything dramatically goes down hill once you exit the elevator. The corridors give you an idea of what to expect. Shabby, stained and damp almost urine like smelly Hall carpets very much like old Florida atp buildings. The walls are bare and if you look closely the baseboards and door trims are in terrible condition. Enter into a very small room that barely has room for a twin let alone a queen bed. There is no mattress just a mattress topper on top of a padded base. The decor is dated, dirty and in need of repair. The bathroom is a joke, smaller than most budget cruises hips. The width is less than a meter. The shower only 75cm square. I barely was able to shower in it and I am only 176cm tall and 70kg. Bathroom floor was warped because of humidity. Towels are paper thin and no amenities.

The only downside of this hotel was that the room was uncomfortably hot and small but it was comfortable, friendly with good facilities such as lockers.
