Ibis Paris Gare Montparnasse Catalogne

We arrived early, but they kept our bags for us, while we went for food in the city. Hotel interior was very nice, liked the décor of the hallways, it was dark, but also nicely lit. The room was very comfortable, always warm, air con was good to adjust the temperature, towels changed daily, and the breakfast was very nice.

The hotel is by a major metro station with links direct to the major tourist attractions which is what we were there for. The staff were friendly and helpful, giving out advice on local places to eat. The room was spacious and comfortable. It had the necessities which is all we needed as we spent more time out than in. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, a variety to choose from which gave us a good start to the days.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Quiet, clean, modern, great buffet breakfast, comfortable mattress with additional pillows provided (on the top of the shelving unit), liquid handsoap in the bathroom, great staff. I liked that you could sit downstairs at the tables (or the lounge chairs) and eat your own dinner, play a game (they have heaps available such as Connect 4, books, cards, games). People complaining about the rubbish removal in the alleyway early in the AM...the windows must be double glazed as I could barely hear it. You're in the centre of Paris, high density and it's a super quiet hotel. No traffic noise etc. Staff are friendly, helpful and go over and above. Breakfast consisted of coffee, apple & orange juice, tea (bags & loose leaf), hot chocolate, hams, a range of cheeses, baguettes, sweet bread (thick cut sliced bread that seemed like brioche with a delicious sweetness to it), toast, madelines, pain au chocolate, croissants, pancakes, nutella, thick honey, every flavour of jam, crumbed oreos and nuts for the pancakes, dried apricots, raw uncooked oats, milk (different varieties), bacon, scrambled eggs, eggs for you to hard boil & peel yourself, fruit salad, fresh fruit (apples, kiwi, pear, peach, nectarine), yoghurt, apple sauce. I am probably forgetting some items! Staff were hepful and friendly. Great value for money hotel. Very short walk to Gare Montparnesse and a few metro stations to get you to all the landmarks. Uber was comparable in price to the metro (inflated metro prices during olympics & paraolympics). Franprix right around the corner for all your snacks and dinners. We got microwaveable meals some nights and Franprix has two microwaves you can use. So we heated them, took the very short walk back to our hotel and sat downstairs in the relaxing dining area to eat and played a game of cards afterwards. Heaps of eating options though if you wanted a cafe or restaurant. Highly recommended.

The location is average. The hotel itself is clean.

Upon checked-in, we found the lighting of the room was faulty. After informed the staff about the issue, he helped to sort it out and change another room to us quickly. The room size was good enough for 3 of us. We liked the bathroom setting and the shower room was large. The location of the hotel was great. It's convenient to reach metro, RER and bus stops. On the other hand, it's in a quiet community and we loved the vibe of Rue Daguerre, which was closed to the hotel. We will definitely stay here when visit Paris again.
