ibis Paris la Villette Cité des Sciences 19ème

** Honest Review: First of all if you’re American expecting frills and thrills, this is not the hotel for you. Canadians/Europeans: it’s ok for us. ** Staff: Well… They are French. Super friendly and helpful if you don’t approach with super high expectations. My experience was great. I am Canadian. I speak a little French. If it’s time for breakfast and you walk into the dining room without checking with his staff member they will chase you down… Probably because they had issues in the past… So don’t take offense. **Lobby: super dope vibes the bar is not a vibe but effective… I watched Champions League on the TV… lobby, decor is very fun and cheeky **Rooms: super small but effective. If you are a large person, do not stay at this hotel. Showers are super small (I am an athlete broad shoulders I had difficulty) but cool that you step up into shower kind of like a little Stage. Your partner can watch you dance while they poop. Beds are super comfortable. Firm. You get two pillows and two towel. So take what you get and go explore Paris! **Neighbourhood: A little dodgy LOOKING but there are joggers literally everywhere along the canal so it’s a cool fitness vibe… Metro is 7 min walk/ lots of cafés near there Mini grocery is 5 min walk Larger train station is about a 15 min walk The area is mostly residential, so it’s actually very super quiet people walking dogs and such watch out for poop sometimes. **Would I stay here again? Solo? Yes. With family? No.

Loved this ibis the location was great, away from the hustle and bustle (and over pricing!) for tourists in central Paris we adored this location. Only negative was the aggressive women at breakfast this morning whom followed me regarding a ticket and then stared at me the whole time I drank my coffee, was really intimidating - but that’s not representative of the whole hotel just one individual staff member

The room is quite small but it was clean and nice. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. They also helped us to order an airport transfer. Thank you again!
