Ibis Paris Grands Boulevards Opera 9e, Paris

Nice trip & lovely staff,...

Liked: Never stayed in the area of Paris, easy walking around to eat out etc, also used the metro to travel the city.
Disliked: The room we were given was compact to say the least, didn't mind for a few days, wouldn't have enjoyed a long stay, no where to unpack & settle down.

Good

The initially allotted room was...

Liked: It is value for money if you happen to get a decent room.
Disliked: The reception guy at first allot me a very small, pretty old room at the extreme back of the hotel. If you open the window your bed was exposed and you see the shafts. I was literary suffocating in it. Moreover the wifi was not working properly. I had already paid for 5 days at the time of check in before looking at the room. Therefore I was struck. But I could not survive in this room for even an hour and I complained at reception. The same guy says I am upgrading you to another room though you have booked a single room and btw this is the only room available. Believe me this room was somewhat bigger than than the previous one but with the same size of bed, so I know he was making it up :). However, this was decent room, looked newly renovated with modern bathroom and located in the front side. I notice during my stay in this room that all rooms besides mine were all empty throughout my stay. So I am sure the Hotel can improve some rooms towards the back side but most importantly the hotel staff should be allocating the best available rooms in the first place.

Superb

Great location, we got a...

Liked: The staff were friendly and its a great location near parking, the Opera area and lots of local bars and restaurants all within walking distance.
Disliked: Our room was tiny, you literally 'couldn't swing a cat' which made getting ready with 2 people in the room tricky with luggage in the room too. Mattress has probably seen better days and the carpet was a bit sticky!
