ibis budget Paris Porte de Vanves

The room is not that big - an IBIS BUDGET hotel is focused on a simplified stay. The shower was very clean, one large white well illuminated plastic shell and a well-closing door worked well. The toilet is behind a western-movie-style door and spacious enough. The hotel is about 5 walking minutes from a nearby Metro station (#13) and thus you are well connected to the city. To get to Gare du Nord, when leaving by train, you only have to change once (at Montparnasse subway station) - a good location. The hotel was calm, no noise from e.g. neighbor rooms either (i.e. well isolated rooms) - very good. The window blinds close completely which means you can sleep in dark very well.

There was no way to open the window, not even on tilt, which is a pity when you need some fresh air, and the room has some stifling air. At least the ability to put the window on tilt should be allowed. The air condition did not allow heating. One evening, I had to take a hot shower to get back to a comfy temperature. Only one power socket at the bed - this means when you want to charge multiple devices nearby your bed, you have a problem.

The rooms were on the small side but enough for our needs. The hotel in general was very clean and the breakfast offered a very decent range. The hotel is in a quiet neighbourhood with a Carrefour (groceries), great bakeries, restaurants and take-outs, all within a 5 - 10-minute walk. The hotel also has a handy screen at the entrance for you to order food. We only used it once but the pizzas were yummy. But of course, the main bonus is that the hotel is only 20 minutes from the centre of Paris and its many many attractions. Would stay again.

None.

No air conditioner or fan provided during our stay in Summer. We informed the staff and waited for one night to get the room changed. We had to open the window and the noise came from the trains. The next day we waited for the manager to come and explain the problem. We got the room change at night. The air conditioner is not working and they don’t maintain or fix it. Don’t expect Summer is like Winter season. The room is not cheap. Pricey very much! We booked 2 rooms for family, 6 nights.

Great location. McDonald’s next door and 10 minute walk from a Metro station. The hotel is in a quiet area and only a 20 minute metro ride to Eiffel tower. Perfect for those on a budget.

The hotel was great but when I sent a question through about car parking I was sent a standard answer that didn’t answer my question. I was travelling with family and had a roof box on the car so couldn’t park in the multi storey car park. I found an open air car park by looking on the google map just behind the hotel next to the Metro station which was perfect and reasonably priced. It might be worth including this info on the hotels information for those travelling with larger vehicles.

The room was very clean, and despite it being very small it was still functional enough. The staff was nice, and there's vending machines and sofas in the hall. Being 3 girls with long hair we needed extra towels and the staff always accommodated our requests. Moreover, the hotel is very close to Malakoff - Plateau de Vanves metro station which gave us easy access to the city centre. Also, if you need anything, there's shops in the area and a 24h open McDonalds literally next to the main entrance.

Wifi was not that great, so if you need to work, I'd suggest using other options.

Rooms are clean, staff was kind and helpful, location was good, restaurants, supermarket bus and metro station are close to the hotel. Breakfast is enough and delicious.

The beds are not too comfortable (were soft for us) but that's ok for couple of nights. We have two reservations and the window couldn't be opened in one of the rooms, we couldn't do the fresh air. Maybe it has some kind of security reason..

Room was very clean, air conditioning worked well. Breakfast was good for our needs. Location near metro. Kids liked McDonald's that is next to the hotel.

There are a lot of rats in the neighborhood (not in the hotel). It was fun to follow cat sized rats' life from the hotel window. Someone may not like that kind of entertainment. :D

It’s close to the subway, there are places to eat around under reasonable prices, and even though my room was close to a train track, the window isolates really well the sound. The staff speaks English and is friendly.

The towels were quite small, and the toilet wasn’t cleaned everyday. The shower door doesn’t complete block the water from pooling a bit on the outside.

The staff was amazing and so helpful to us (wife and our 2 year old daughter) considering we can’t speak the local language! They all spoke to us in English which was very helpful to us( from UK) The transport around this area is very good and cheap to places like Eiffel Tower, Disneyland and or Paris city centre! Their transport system is very good if you don’t mind public transport!

None!

The hotel is in a great location. The hotel is next to the Metro and local shops/restaurants. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. There is secure parking but you have to pay. It was at a good rate as you have to pay for off street parking in the area which is limited.

The breakfast was limited and I didn't appreciate the coffee coming from a machine. The lift could do with some attention as it was not operating properly most of the time. The hotel should make it clear that you have to pay for parking as it isn't stated.
