This Ibis hotel is well equipped as usual, and, given its proximity to the Parc des Expositions and its numerous conference rooms, it caters mainly for guests travelling on business.

Located in the heart of the 14th arrondissement of Paris, the hotel isn't far from Alésia metro station (on line 4), which provides direct access to the northern and southern parts of Paris. You may have some transfers if you're travelling east or west. Montparnasse station is only a few stations away and it'll take you around a quarter of an hour to get to the Porte de Versailles by tram. The hotel is located in a very residential neighbourhood, so don't expect much in the way of bars and restaurants. For that, the best is to head towards the Alésia neighbourhood.
The hotel has 264 rooms, which are all furnished in the same way: a desk against the wall, a small open storage unit, and a luggage rack. As far as amenities are concerned, they include individual air-conditioning and a flat-screen TV. The practical bathrooms are very clean and have a bathtub, a hair-dryer, and hospitality products in big bottles. There is only one category of room, standard, which comes as a twin or a double unit.
This establishment, located on the Rue des Plantes, is a 6 storey block that is hard to miss. Guests enter into a decently sized lobby, with an Internet corner to the left and a small lounge area to the right. There are 8 conference rooms in the basement, and safes and ironing facilities are available at the front desk. Ibis hotels are always a sure bet if you're after relatively cheap accommodation. The services provided have been set up with clientèle satisfaction in mind: free Wi-Fi, the 15-minute contract (whereby Ibis will solve any problem you may have within 15 minutes), and breakfast from 4:00am till noon (the express formula for guests who get up either very early or very late: from 4:00am to 6:30am and from 10:00am till noon, and normal buffet service from 06:30am till noon), and reception is staffed 24/7. There is also a small library with a selection of books available to hotel guests; the idea being that you choose a book you can hold onto or even take with you, but you must then leave it somewhere else once you've read it. It's a nice way of sharing books...
The hotel's restaurant is the Jardin des Plantes and it opens daily from noon to 2:30pm and from 7:00pm to 10:30pm. It offers a traditional menu that varies with the seasons, and with a new suggestion every day (the speciality of the day, the fish of the day, or the dessert of the day). The price of a meal ranges between £13 and £16 and there is a children's menu for £9. In any case, Ibis hotels offer a 24/7 catering service: pasta, toasties,... There is even a menu with a dish prepared on the spot and includes a dessert. The bar is opposite the front desk and opens from 11:00am till midnight.
The hotel has its own car park, which you may use for an extra charge. The best is to leave your car here and to travel by public transport (RER, bus, metro), as it really is the easiest way to get around Paris.

Séjour pour un déplacement professionnel. Un peu loin du métro, personnel acceuillant. Mais la chambre réservée devait être une double, j'ai eu une chambre lits jumeaux. D'autre part, je me suis aperçue qu'il n'y avait pas de télécommande pour la tv. Le responsable a du faire 4 chambres différentes pour m'en trouver une... Petit déjeuner de qualité en revanche !
Lit confortable Wifi Bon petit déjeuner : beaucoup de choix
Erreur sur la demande (chambre double) Pas de télécommande Salle de bain petite Loin du métro

TRES BON ACCUEIL DANS CET HOTEL IBIS, PETIT DEJEUNER EXCELLENT, DINER TRES CORRECT. BIEN SITUE AU CALME A PROXIMITE D'UNE STATION DE METRO. TRES SATISFAIT DE MON TROISIEME SEJOUR DANS CET HOTEL
TRES BONNE LITERIE,TRES PROPRE
JE N'EN AI PAS TROUVE
Nous avons été déçus de cet hôtel: facile à trouver, accueil sympathique,mais prestations de bases à revoir. Trop de mobilier,salle de bains aux joints noircis et surtout pas de rideaux à la fenêtre (VELUX). La chambre donnant sur un immeuble très proche: intimité nulle et réveil au lever du jour! Aucune solution n'a été apportée à notre problème. Nous nous sommes débrouillés avec un drap pour créer un peu d'intimité. Aucune considération non plus de notre mail de mécontentement.
bien situé et au calme cependant.
Pas de rideaux!!un comble!!

Très bon hôtel avec une chambre fonctionnelle : grand lit, nombreux rangements, salle de bain agréable, télé de taille correcte. Nous y avons passé une agréable nuit.
La situation. La propreté de la chambre.
J'en ai aucun à signaler.

l'hôtel offre un lieu de détente parfais pour un séjour entre amie mais, un hôtel comme celui-ci je voudrais bien y allé avec mon mari, le personnel est polie la réception bien entretenue, très beau séjour
lieu propice pour la détente calme jolie et grand
le seul inconvénient et d'y être allé sans mon mari
parfait pour une ou deux nuits
accès facile proche metro
le prix bien que correct
A friendly establishment set back on a quiet little street in an area with plenty of shops and businesses.
Nestling in a peaceful street of the 14th arrondissement district of Paris, a 2-star hotel is setting up a revolution.
A youth hostel atmosphere for this establishment located on a highly frequented thoroughfare which offers good access to public transport.
A quiet, unpretentious establishment that nonetheless offers spacious rooms.
This hotel is far from the tourist attractions of the city centre, but the very contemporary decor in the rooms is awash with colour, energy and cheer.
A definite effort has made with the style of this 2-star hotel, discreetly set behind Porte d'Orléans.
This is a perfectly decent little hotel where guests are guaranteed a personal welcome from its pleasant owners.
Located between Alesia and Pernety, this hotel is in great need of a renovation.
This is a hotel full of French style in which no copies or reproductions will be tolerated. The Bristol is one of the few luxury hotels in Paris that belongs to a European family (German) rather than one of the great families of Asia or the United Arab Emirates. Stylish, classy and refined, the Bristol holds great importance in the quality and authenticity of its features and materials. Its gourmet restaurant attracts a demanding clientele that is fond of excellent cuisine.
The George V is one of the most prestigious Parisian palaces in the city. You barely have to cross the threshold before realising you are entering a hotel in which luxury, perfection and indulgence are the name of the game. Boasting rooms fit for a princess, impressive lounges and a Michelin-starred restaurant, the George V ticks all the boxes when it comes to satisfying even the most demanding of guests. The interior designer Pierre Yves Rochon oversaw the complete refurbishment of the building in 1997, and has since then continued to make improvements to the decor in the 18th Century style.
The latest Parisian palace to open its doors on 1 August 2014. The French chic and sophistication goes perfectly with the Asian elegance in the magnificent building dating from 1908. This is the Peninsula Group's first hotel to open in France but also in Europe.
The latest Parisian luxury hotel, the Shangri-La will seduce a demanding clientele that will know how to appreciate the richly ornate Empire style of this particular hotel. Nothing more can be said about the lengths taken to find the materials, designs, and other accessories that contribute to recreating the atmosphere of the 19th century, while at the same time offering the comfort and modernity of the 21st century. This extremely shiny and ornate Empire style may scare away some potential guests, however, it is still a real privilege to stay in this residence previously owned by a prince, the great nephew of Napoleon.
It took five Haussmanian buildings to bring the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme into existence, and it is the first luxury hotel in Paris to be designed in a contemporary fashion. Comfort, style and impeccable service all come together here in a younger, more modern setting.
Inaugurated on 28 February 2012, the W Paris - Opera has finally opened in the City of Light. The Starwood brand linked to fashion and trends thus has its own prestigious establishment in Paris.
Nestled in a 19th century building, the hotel is in a great location. Design and modernity, with a conceptual touch, all come together here. Its designer is in the best position to explain why, since we're not sure it's really clear otherwise, but the W Paris-Opera is centred around the theme The Spark. The establishment thus defines itself as a "spark", creating a fictitious connection between the very first W hotel in New York and its newest sibling in Paris.
At the heart of the Opera district, the W can already rely on its guests who are fans of the brand and hopes that word of mouth will make it the place to be in the area; not just for its rooms but for its restaurant and bar as well.
Confidentiality is the order of the day at this very upmarket establishment, perfect for VIPs looking for a little discretion, and private events are also held here.
The Meurice is one of Paris's best addresses. With its contemporary yet quintessentially Parisian décor realised by great names such as Stark and his daughter. The Meurice is an exclusive haunt. the hotel's main restaurant, Le Meurice, is headed by 3 Michelin star Chef Yannick Alléno which is, needless to say, one of the highlights of a stay at the hotel. In a fantastic location right opposite the Jardin des Tuileries, the rooms are tastefully decorated and the service is impeccable.
