Ibis Paris Alesia Montparnasse

Cleanliness is OK and location is good. Do not have kettle but you can get hot water from receptionist. Breakfast OK but boring, exactly same for 4 days.

Awful experience. First, there was suddenly no hot water in the bath, which was really disappointing after a long day. It was under 10°C that day in Paris. The water pressure is another problem. It was too weak to properly rinse off shampoo and shower gel efficiently. Also, they didn’t have free luggage storage, making it hard to explore after I checked out and before I checked in. Had to pay for rental lockers located in the hotel. The bathroom was another problem. It had a bad smell of pee, which made it uncomfortable to use. Cleanliness is really important in a hotel, and this was not good enough. Finally, housekeeping came into my room without asking if I was there. This felt rude and made me uncomfortable. I can’t recommend staying here.

I would not recommend to book this hotel through trip.com. I called the hotel before my trip to check something else and found that even though I booked and paid for the hotel 3 months ago, the booking was not confirmed at the hotel’s site, I had to contact trip.com and they could only confirm the booking after a day. In terms of the room, location is pretty good, the facilities were basic. However the room we stayed did not have hot shower which is ridiculous. The reception at night also did not speak English so was very difficult to communicate.
