Holiday Inn Paris - Montmartre, an IHG Hotel

I am a frequent user of the IHG family of hotels and I chose Holiday Inn, Montmartre for the brand and also for the fact that the room selection came with a bath as well as a shower. The downside of the choice was the fact that the hotel is located a fair distance from the nearest Metro station, with Blanche on the 2 line being the most convenient. It is a 10 minute walk from the Metro to the hotel, but not unattractive as you get to walk over the bridge that passes over Cimetiere De Montmartre. ||From the outside the hotel is very unpretentious however the inside is pleasant enough. My room was ready and I had chosen an executive room due to the sloping windows that offered excellent roof top views of the city. The room was compact but clean and was simply furnished to a suitable standard. There was a safe in the room and I felt secure. The double bed was comfortable and had a nice thick duvet on it. The air conditioning was powerful and I was able to maintain a suitable temperature throughout my stay.||One attraction when selecting the room was that it was meant to come with a fully stocked mini bar however I was disappointed that this had not been done when I arrived. It was only put right the following day, meaning that I had no refreshment in the room on my first night. “Fully Stocked” was used liberally as this ended up being a can of Coke and one of Perrier Water, and also a bag of crisps. I don’t consider that to be fully stocked. There was good focus on the hotel being environmentally aware as a jug was provided to chill down tap water, rather than using plastic bottles, There was a notice confirming that the water was safe for drinking. It transpired that this mini bar was only” filled” on arrival, rather than daily, and this was not made clear on the website. It and would have been a realistic expectation for the stocking to be daily, given the inflated cost of the room.||The bathroom was functional and well maintained and there were adequate fresh towels and toiletries. Two bathrobes were provided in the wardrobe however, one disappeared each day until there were none. These were replaced when I raised the matter with the manager.||Breakfast was included and this was a simple affair that was quite adequate. The food was continental in the main and there was a reasonable selection available. |On checking out, my bill was correct and the staff were again helpful and pleasant.||This is 3* hotel that provides a 3* level of facilities and service.
