We booked this hotel for easy reach to the Olympic stadium, it was pricey but that's due to its location and this specific event. It was clean and well maintained, staff were friendly.

“Good hotel for a business traveller”

Perfect value for money for a one or two night business trip. Clean, friendly staff, OK breakfast. The basics are all in order here. The shower was a bit low for my height, but warm. Towels were soft. So was the bed. Airco would have resulted in 5 stars.

“Dancing upstairs, film set next door”

Looks, it is an Ibis Styles so you get what you would expect. Well mostly....

Looks, it is an Ibis Styles so you get what you would expect. Well mostly.... I only had one night which involved me staying there for a few hours before a meal with colleague and an overnight before checking out early for my meeting. In this case, all I need is a bed and somewhere to sit - I had both. However, my room didn't have any working lights when I arrived. I didn't bother telling the staff and decided to speak to them if they were still not working when I returned later in the evening after a meal - fortunately they were. Maybe this was due to some work taking place in the next room as there were constant taps, knocks and drills coming from their. If their was no work going on, then someone was either building something or it was being used as a set for a murder movie! It was pretty warm the night I was there (too warm for someone from Scotland), but the aircon was working (sort of) and took the temperature from blazing hot down to hot in an extremely noisy way. It also leaked drips all over the floor, even some way from the unit - at least I hoped it was from the aircon, no idea where it came from otherwise. The hotel has sensing lights to conserve power which is great. However, the sensors seems to be miles away from my room leaving me to walk towards the single glowing LED of the lift in darkness until I got there and it triggered the sensor to turn on the lights. Celebrity also seems to stay here as I am sure Michael Flatley was staying in the room above! Some amazing tap dancing going on up there! I didn't have any pressure issues with the showers that others have mentioned - mine worked fine but the only want to stop the water was to turn the tap to about 5% stream - if you turned it completely off, the water came on again! Breakfast was poor to be blunt. A croissant and a pain-au-chocolate was pretty much the limit along with a coffee maching that reluctantly filled half your cup if you pressed the button enough times. Fresh OJ was good though. As I said, you get what you would expect and for one night this was okay even though the useless AC, the dancing upstairs and the film set next door meant I got little sleep on the overly soft bed. At least it didn't have a tall iron fence around it like the other Ibis I have stayed in around the corner! WiFi worked fine although like a number of hotel WiFi systems, it kept on popping up with DHCP errors. Others have mentioned the location - this is in Saint Denis which my Parisien friends say is outside Paris. I would not stay here if I was after a leisure break in Paris. Check out the map! Fortunately it is under 10 minutes walk from the Stade de France station which is on the mainline between Paris and CDG airport.
