ibis Styles Paris Gare de l'Est TGV

“Convenient and friendly hotel across the Gare.”

My wife and I stayed one night, crossing the street from the Gare de l'Est(a few doors down from the conspicuous Burger King) in a vibrant area of hotels, shops and restaurants.

My wife and I stayed one night, crossing the street from the Gare de l'Est(a few doors down from the conspicuous Burger King) in a vibrant area of hotels, shops and restaurants. A smiling receptionist was welcoming and quick to provide our key card for the front door, elevator and front door. We chose a welcome drink/juice before taking their lone elevator up to our 3rd floor prepaid queen. Corner room #36 was well lit with a very comfortable bed, charging outlets, small desk and a window overlooking the ibis interior courtyard. The nice sized bathroom/shower had a window opening to a different courtyard with rooms undergoing refurbishment(quiet at night). The small open closet lacked hangers. The 6AM serviced breakfast was excellent, beginning with a coffee machine(also used after our arrival), fresh squeezed OJ, muesli with soy milk, croissants/pain au chocolat, yogurt, eggs, cheese, meats and fruit. We walked 100m southwest, passing a crepe/panini stand, an HSBC ATM to an excellent Naturalia organic grocery.

“Conveniently Located with Ibis Quality”

Nicely located across from gare de l'est. Despite the seedy neighborhood, the hotel feels safe and quiet all things considered. Regretfully no Gold card benefits were available during my stay (no complimentary drink, was not allowed to check out one hour later), but the staff was polite as usual.

“Exactly as expected - nothing special but cheap, clean and reasonably comfortable”

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.

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.
