My mom and I stayed here for 7 nights because it's across the street from my grandmother's apartment in Place d'Italie. I consider the location to be so-so. There's a shopping mall across the road with a Carrefour and many clothing shops, it's close to the 5,6,&7 metro lines (Place d'Italie stop), but there's not much else to do in the neighborhood.
For $107 during the week we got a TINY bedroom with two twin beds pushed next to each other and a bathroom. On the weekends this rate increases to $125. There is free wireless Internet, but it requires logging in every several minutes. If you let your iPhone go idle for even a moment, the Internet connection is lost. Talk about annoying. The water temperature of the shower also fluctuates drastically, but c'est la vie. And to top it all off they lost our reservation for the 7th night (after we went to Normandy for a few days), even though we had confirmed the reservation several times.
Overall I would say that I'm unimpressed by Ibis. If you don't need to stay by Place d'Italie I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more
