Ibis Styles Paris Gare de Lyon Bastille

Beautiful little hotel, approx. 5 - 10 mins walk from the Gare de Lyon station and supermarket easy to find. Lots of shops, cafes, restaurants near by and it's a lovely area to stay whilst still be able to visit the main tourist attractions. We walked to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, approx an 8 mile round trip and saw so many wonderful things, the walk along the river is just beautiful and there are cafes you can stop at, plus plenty of free water stations along the main roads and river walk The hotel is small but clean, with very friendly helpful staff who speak English. The rooms are small, as is standard for Paris, but it was clean, comfortable and had free shower gel etc. which was appreciated. The lift is tiny, again as is standard for Paris, but all floors are easily accessible by the stairs. Breakfast selection is good, my daughter and I had no issues choosing. There was bread, Jams, spreads, pancakes, cheese, ham, cereals, eggs, yoghurt fruit and more,plus freshly squeezed orange juice and excellent coffee. The receptionist were very friendly, recommend places to go such as Snaffles,a lovely Japanese cafe that does delicious cakes and matches and a crepe takeaway called Crepe 71. We had cheese & chicken and it was amazing, plus only €12 for two. We didn't use the bus or train, instead chose to walk everywhere to fully experience and see Paris We did get a taxi to/from the airport and it's fixed rate at €56 each way. I would happily stay in this hotel again and would recommend it.

We tried again the next day and they said we should have spare bedding in our room in a cupboard, we told them we don’t have any cupboards in our room. There is no storage. They said they would see what they could do. We came back around 9/10pm to our room and found that it was unlocked and the door was open. When we went into the room the lock was left on the door to keep it open (pictured). The room had all our valuables in (passports, jewellery, cash, cards etc) and had been left open all day by I’m guessing housekeeping? Despite being told reception was 24/7 there was nobody there to tell. The breakfast was okay, the coffee machine was awful and tasted so weak. There were other guests touching the bread and not using a cloth to cut it. The bathroom had a sewage smell when the water turned on. The only good thing about this hotel is the location but I would not stay here again for that reason and I would not recommend to anyone to stay here. It’s incredibly expensive for what it is.

Came here for the Champions league final. Fairly basic hotel , rooms are adequate.Staff were excellent and worth the 5 stars alone but mainly its the location. Well located for transport links with Garde du nord train station not far but also vibrant nightlife including very good restaurants all less than ten mins away with good bars and cafes on its doorstep.
