ibis Paris Gare De L Est 10ème

Hotel is located right next to a bus and metro station and has plenty of restaurants, bakeries, and laundry facilities near by. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the AC was very strong and more adjustable then most European hotels I've stayed in. The hotel also offered a place where we could fill our water bottles with ice and water-- an absolute game changer in the middle of summer.

It was close to gare de l'est which made our onward travel very easy. Also it's close to the 1ere arrondissement making it easy for us to complete our business errands.

Staff was very helpful and friendly In particular the girl at check in (Manel) was extremely helpful answering my many questions. Oumare who worked in the breakfast nook was very kind and helpful. To the point that when we ran into him in the street, he remembered us and said "hello" first. When I told him we were looking for a restaurant to eat at he tried to explain in his limited English (my french was even worse) and seeing I was confused, offered to walk us to the restaurant, even though it was the opposite direction he was walking. Staff like these two are EXCEPTIONAL! I was so impressed that upon check out I had to inquire about their names so I could give them the credit they are due. I suspect many others have done the same. I would appreciate if you could pass on my "thank you" to both of them. People like that are what makes a stay much better than average, so thanks to both!

Everything except size of lift and foyer

Conveniently located. Within walking distance of the station which was a relief after our train was delayed by over 3 hours, which meant that we arrived much later than planned.
