We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was adequately sized for the 3 of us, the beds were comfy and there was everything we needed. We didn't try out the lift as we were only on the 2nd floor so we liked the 2 flights of the spiral staircase!!||Breakfast was lovely, there was a fantastic orange juice machine, a coffee machine, meat, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, croissants and other pastries, bread, cake, fruit... Yum!!||We liked the location of the hotel. The area it is in is really bustling and had a lovely feel to it. Although it was not noisy at all. There was a monoprix supermarket as well as restaurants, bakery, butchers, everything you could possibly need. The train station is really close and for €10 per day you can buy a mobilis ticket zones 1-3 which gives you unlimited travel on the Paris public transport. It takes about 5 minutes on the new, clean and shiny train to st lazare terminus where you can get the underground (or overground) wherever else you want to go. The underground from st lazare to trocadero for example (close to Eiffel tower) would take about 20 minutes including walking time between stations, some of them are linked by walkways but the routes are well signposted.||The same for getting to and from Gare du Nord for the Eurostar, easy peasy from st lazare. We found the Parisiens really helpful and as soon as we got the hang of the public transport system we could go anywhere we wanted!! ||There was a bottle of water in the room when we arrived. There were towels and shower gel in the bathroom. I didn't notice a kettle in the room but there was one dowstairs in reception with hot chocolate, tea and coffee in sachets. And the coffee machine at breakfast was great so we didn't need to use anything else.||We had a really wonderful...
Read moreI have stayed at this property many times over the past eight years but this year was more disappointing than last year. It is really in need of renovation. My booking got all messed up. I used a second party to book my dates but the property only booked five of the nine days I had originally booked. Their reason was never clear but in the end they claimed they had no rooms for my last four nights even after booking the dates earlier. You must keep in mind that most of these rooms are extremely small. The room I was given, 112, was very worn, badly stained carpet, mattress sagging in the center, and the smallest bathroom of any room I have stayed in over the last eight years. I really didn’t think it was possible but this one had a shower so small you can’t help but bump the shower valve and shut the water off! Breakfast “Buffett” really hadn’t changed much but if they ran out of something it was just to bad. Typical items, croissants, coffee, orange juice, cheese, yogurt, and some fruit. ||Located ten minutes from an RER station, you can be at Paris Saint Lazare train station in ten minutes from which you can get to anywhere in Paris by subway. Also located in a residential area so there are a lot of markets and restaurants in the area including a post office and pharmacy. There is also a McDonalds in the area opened 24 hours. ||Wish I could be more positive about Ibis Styles but it is what it is. Happy and...
Read moreI stayed at the ibis Style Asnières Centre from December 7th to 10th. Shortly after I arrived in my room, I noticed a weird noise that sounded like water dripping, and turns out that’s exactly what it was. The heater right next to the bed was leaking water and dripping onto the carpet. The whole area was soaking wet and discolored. The solution to the problem seemed to be a cut up plastic bottle (pictured) that was hung under the leak. However, the water dripping onto the plastic was VERY loud and disturbing and made it hard to sleep. Every morning and evening I had to dump the filled up bottle into the sink.|In addition to that, the shower was TINY. I’m not a tall or big person, but the shower was so small that the shower curtain inevitably stuck to my body. The shower head could not be moved up as the button to do so was jammed and it wouldn’t budge just pushing it up, therefore I had to crouch down to wash my hair (I’m 5”2 / 159cm so that’s a very low shower head).|There was also an issue with the bathroom door, it was very very hard to close, impossible to close properly without using force, and when it was finally fully closed, it was ridiculously hard to open it again which made for a pretty scary moment.|All in all I have to say I was really disappointed with my stay and will not...
