ibis Styles Paris Pigalle Montmartre

Very small and out dated. Free breakfast is good but lack of safe in room

This hotel needs a lot of work. It’s very rundown and in need of a clean. Had we been staying any longer than one night in Paris I would have left and booked a new hotel. I had a bad feeling about it from the moment we walked into the lobby. It was small and dated. There was a room off to the right for refreshments that had a very dusty bookshelf and looked unkempt. Our room was in the same condition. It was very dated and seemed like the cleaning company just sprayed Fabreze all over everything. (So much that we were coughing from the smell and could see the half dried droplets of spray on all of the surfaces and the floor) Other parts of the room were dusty and the carpets in the hallway and room needed to be replaced or throughly deep cleaned due to stains. There were some other upkeep issues as well but I think you get the point. We were exhausted from traveling and my husband was sick and just needed to nap, so we had no interest in dealing with the drama of finding a new hotel for only one night. The bed looked clean. I very carefully inspected the sheets and they seemed new. So we decided to stay. That didn’t stop us from using T-shirts as pillow cases though. Also the area this hotel is in was littered with sex shops and lots of homeless. Staying at this hotel was a mistake but also my choice of location. I’d suggest staying a few blocks North in Montmartre.

This place was in a good location for nightlife, and in a very short walk to the metro to get out to the rest of the city. Walking distance from the Moulin Rouge and Sacre Couer! And the *working* in-room AC was a great change from other hotels on our trip!

Nice stay and great location.

Internet connection was amazingly awful (not only painfully slow, but also with constant disconnects).
