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...

Read moreWe recently had a good two night's stay at Holiday Inn Paris - Montmartre. ||We stayed in room 506 which faced the inner yard. The room had a good size with a kettle, an espresso maker, a jug for getting drinking water from the "kitchen" close to the reception and a good size empty fridge. Coffee and milk were provided for the first night but not replenished for the second night. Luckily we saw the cleaner who was doing her rounds and she brought us some more once we asked her. There was also a rice bowl and 2 pairs of chopsticks. There was some lack of storage space as there was only a wardrobe with some cloth-hangers. The bed was comfortable. They had a note on the pillow which said that it would be possible to ask for a soft or a hard pillow made with natural materials. As we were happy with pillows we did not use the offer. There were bedside tables on either side of our beds and a small table with one chair. The carpet was fitted which we were not keen on due to hygiene reasons.||The bathroom had a bath and shower combo. There were some full size Dove products next to the sink: Hand soap and body lotion. They had full size Dove products next to the shower/bath: Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. In the bathroom there was a good amount of storage for potions and lotions.||We only had two little complaints about the hotel. ||Firstly, the breakfast was OK but not to the standard of most other Holiday Inn hotels, for example Holiday Inn Grands Boulevards has a far superior breakfast buffet compared to the one at Holiday Inn Paris - Montmartre. We understand that Holiday Inn Paris - Montmartre is smaller and the breakfast area is smaller, but some more variety would be welcome. The items in the breakfast buffet were replenished regularly which was a plus. We found it a bit odd that the people taking care of the breakfast area were so keen to take our plates away if we had a little break with eating. On both mornings we had to tell them that we were not finished yet.||Secondly, the breakfast finishes at 10am and the check-out is at 11am. That is an hour earlier than in most hotels.||But on the positive side, they served mini pastries in the reception in the afternoons which we thought was a nice touch. ||All things considered, we would stay again at Holiday Inn Paris...
