Ibis Styles Paris Gare De L'est Tgv

“Convenient location”

This hotel is a short walk from the Gare du Nord, and an even shorter walk from the Gare de l’Est.

This hotel is a short walk from the Gare du Nord, and an even shorter walk from the Gare de l’Est. Possibly because of proximity to the latter station, the hotel seems particularly popular with German speakers. We stayed here because we've had long waits for Uber after arriving late at night on Eurostar at the Gare du Nord, so we preferred a short walk to go straight to bed. The bed was very comfortable, giving a good night’s sleep. External noise from the street below was barely audible, and the room was comfortably warm. Although the small rooms had clearly been refurbished in recent years, there were power sockets on only one side of the bed. Presumably whoever designed the rooms oddly believes that only one half of each couple has a smartphone and/or smartwatch. On the positive side, the television had BBC World. No soap was provided in the bathroom, only shower gel, which was disappointing. No flannels were provided either. Breakfast was adequate and the sausages were very good, but nothing else was particularly special with only two choices of juice. Don't forget to take your breakfast ticket to breakfast, which are you given upon check-in.

“Perfect hotel for a few nights”

Great hotel for a few nights. We booked an adjoining room and both rooms were perfectly fine. Decent sized beds, really comfy, great bathrooms with fresh towels and toilet rolls each day. The staff were always available to help and spoke English well which was most helpful. The breakfast was perfect being a buffet continental style, great fresh orange juice and great coffee. We were really grateful to be able to leave our cases there on the last day. We felt safe and slept well there. Great location with Metro entrance a few steps outside of the hotel.

“More discount than it looks”

I just spent two nights at Ibis Gard de l’Est TGV in Paris. First the good elements. It is very well located about two minutes in front of the station and next to a Metro entrance. The wifi was fine and the staff were efficient and all spoke English. The room was also quiet. Presumably you are co… more

I just spent two nights at Ibis Gard de l’Est TGV in Paris. First the good elements. It is very well located about two minutes in front of the station and next to a Metro entrance. The wifi was fine and the staff were efficient and all spoke English. The room was also quiet. Presumably you are considering this hotel due to its location to the station. If not there is really no reason to stay in the neighbourhood as it is a bit dicey at night and lacks good places to eat. We went with s friend, and both of our rooms were exceedingly small. We had two big suitcases and there was barely enough floor space to put them. The shower had very low pressure but the bathroom was a good size. We didn’t opt for the breakfast as, knowing Ibis, it would probably not be great. There are plenty of good places for breakfast in the station. Finally, after a long day of sightseeing we were disappointed when our room had not yet been cleaned. But that’s what you get with Ibis.

Booked to stay for 3 nights whilst visiting Paris. We just wanted somewhere cheap, clean and comfortable to crash after a busy day’s sightseeing and that’s exactly what we got. Nothing about this hotel is anything special but it does the job. Rooms including bathroom were clean if rather small, and had everything needed including hair dryer and safe. It’s true that the staff weren’t amazingly friendly or smiley but they answered out questions when we needed them to. The included breakfast was much appreciated and again exactly as expected, nothing special, simple croissants, cereal, fruit, coffee and juice. Area wasn’t the nicest but was busy enough to feel safe. Wouldn’t have wanted to walk around on my own at night but as a couple the 2min walk from station to hotel felt perfectly fine. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. We paid for a basic, cheap hotel and that’s what we got.
