ibis Nanterre La Défense, Nanterre

Fine if you want to...

Liked: Good location if you want to sleep and go to the La Defenese Arena. Nice bed and shower. Clean room.
Disliked: I regularly book a hotel stay at Ibis in other countries, and stayed at this specific hotel for three nights because I generally have good experiences with staying at Ibis. This time it was disappointing. Good location if you want to go to the La Defenese Arena and have your eyes closed for the rest of the stay. To me it has a hostel feel for the price of a stay at a standard Ibis hotel. I did not feel welcome or treated as their guest. Found the staff at the reception friendly, in stark contrast to the staff in the dining area. Overall not very helpfull. The breakfast was absolutley fine one morning, the next morning there was no bread. Chaos overall. When I - and other guests - friendly asked a question about the lack of bread, a couple of slices of white bread were put down. Issue resolved, according to the wildly gesticulating, grumpy employee. Service, also at the table, was barely approachable. My dinner was served lukewarm and slammed sloppy onto my plate. Not a good quality vs the price you have to pay. The 3rd morning I didn't even bother with breakfast. I do my best to speak French as they do not speak Dutch. That's fine, but apparently they find listening to and speaking English very annoying here. Very unfortunate and not up to Ibis its standard quality. I do not recommend this hotel.

Superb
