ibis Paris Canal Saint Martin

The location was great. Central, 5 minute walk from a metro. About 30 mins on metro to Eiffel Tower but that was fine as we wanted somewhere with a luggage room and to be near Gare Du Nord so our luggage was close by to pick up on our way to the station at 6pm that day.

Tasty breakfast with a variety of options: sweet pastries, bread, cheese, ham, muesli, fresh fruit and vegetables, scrambled eggs, sausages... As a vegan option, we could get muesli with fruit and soy or oat milk. Everything was super clean, each person got two towels that could be changed daily. All the staff were very polite and helpful, we wanted to change single large sheet and duvet on a double bed to two separate duvets and the staff attended to our request promptly. The interior of the hotel is small but cozy. The rooms are well sound proofed both from each other and from the street, there is also air-conditioning. Which is important because the street can be a bit noisy at night. All in all, it's a tourist hotel that fulfills its function perfectly.

Very friendly staff! Good breakfast. The room was a little small but clean; worked for me. During those hot August days it's good there's an AC in the room. Had to run it on full power for quite a while. It's quite a distance to the main sights of Paris, but metro stations are just a few walking minutes away. There's also a few supermarchés close and a few bars and restaurants. The train station (gare de l'est) is very close. I was travelling with my bicycle and asked during the booking process if there's a secure place for my bike. And yes, they let me put my bike in the locked backyard. Thank you for that! :-) There's also a storage room for your luggage if you have to kill some time after ckecking out. Like all big cities, Paris isn't cheap, but this hotel has a really good value for money.

I like this area of Paris so the location was good for us. It was clean/ close to a couple of metros/ the bed was comfy and had good pillows. It was quiet.

I've stayed here on previous trips to Paris, it's a good location away from the madness of the tourist areas, and is in a beautiful part of paris (it's all beautiful, non?). My only suggestion would be to have pillows that are a bit firmer, not so soft.
