Less than 1 star by North American standards but judging by other positive comments, European standards are way low! I stayed at Ibis in Rome and it was great. But in Paris, it was “the worst”. No temperature control in room. Very very cold. You cannot fit on the toilet, you should sit side ways in 90 degree. Broken toilet seat bites your skin. No shower door. Shower water pours all over bathroom and flows to the room’s carpet. The double bed has a huge dent in the middle as much is 3 inch deep. The mattress is foam! If you have back problem that needs a flat bed, run away. The top mattress is not attached to the foam mattress and it runs as you move! No shampoo or conditioner, just soap. No hand or face towel, Just one bath towel. No telephone in room. No tissue paper in room. Toilet paper is rationed. No tea bag for breakfast, just loose leaf tea. But you can buy your own shampoo and paper towel and etc from a nearby supermarket.The only nice thing is kind staff, specially the girl with very long hair- she is excellent. Yes The location is near metro but in Paris EVERYWHERE you stay is near a metro station. If you are from north America and can afford it, choose a 5 star hotel in the west and preferably in the suburbs. This hotel is 3 star but is not worth even 1 star and certainly not worth 300 Canadian dollar a night price tag! It reminds me of the run down inn owned by the Thenardiers in The Miserables. Victor Hugo did not write a “story”, it was “real”.
