Ibis Styles Paris Porte d'Orléans

value for money. Definitely recommended

Good value at ~100 EUR/night for a fairly large room by Paris standards, including a good breakfast (freshly squeezed OJ, fresh baguette, Bonne Maman jam etc.). It's just outside of Paris but a short walk to Line 14 of the Metro. On my last stay, I was assigned a disabled room so NO shower curtain/partition: this means the bathroom will be wet. The receptionist at night was new to the hotel (temp agency) and unable to change the room. I was initially sent to another room by mistake - as there's only one elevator, it takes a while to go up and down. No apology. The disabled room only had ONE towel (for 2 adults...), which was another shortcoming that's easy to fix with proper training and better processes. I had sent an email to reception ahead of my stay to request a room facing the courtyard but my request hadn't been taken into account this time (last time, it was), so I suggest calling the hotel a few days ahead to make sure the room assignment is NOT disabled and NOT facing the busy street. To be fair, if you're on a high floor, you won't hear much noise even if facing the street so it didn't bother me too much on this occasion but would imagine it would be noisy on a lower floor... Overall, I still think it offers great value for Paris - I prefer paying ~100 for a large room with a good breakfast vs. 200+ for a tiny room in a more central location. It's a trade-off and will come down to personal preferences. With proper training of staff, this could be a much better experience!

Facilities were decent. Service was splendid! We arrived late in the afternoon, and were greeted by a very helpful and kind lady at the reception. She made sure we had everything taken care of!
