Hotel berhampiran La grande pagode, Paris

Adorable boutique hotel with very friendly staff, a cute lobby and beautifully decorated rooms and comfy beds. My room was on the smaller side but plenty big for one or two people. It looked out over the street, had a pretty French balcony, and was bright and airy. Delicious and generous complimentary breakfast is served in a cute room behind the lobby, and you can also eat or relax in the courtyard. The hotel's location is great if you are looking to be away from the busyness of the city centre. Lots of shops and restaurants, and walking distance to a huge park with a small lake, walking trails, woods, and the Parc Zoologique de Paris. A really relaxing spot if you want to relax and slow down a bit. Loved it; would definitely stay there again!

Notre chambre était très spacieuse, le petit déjeuner très bien pour le tarif, nous avons eu quelques soucis de chauffage, mais l’équipe du Kyriad a été très efficace et ils ont trouvé une solution très rapidement . Donc malgré ce petit soucis, je donne 5 étoiles grâce au service et à la gentillesse de l’équipe. Hôtel proche du métro ligne 8, très pratique .

This hotel staffs were all nice and kind. Most of staffs can speak English very well. They have their own parking lot for the guests, but we had to pay per night. Parking lot entrance was so narrow. They don’t clean our room everyday. Otherwise, we request to clean our room, but you have to pay for cleaning. Also , they have towels , but if you need more , you have to pay extras. When we took a subway, we had to walk about 10-15 minutes to the station. It was not that bad because we can find several nice bakeries near by.

Chambre réceptionnée avec 1 heure de retard 16h au lieu de 15h, nous sommes restés 3 jours, la chambre est propre mais les parties communes et l'ascenseur très sale l'aspirateur n'a pas été passé une seule fois dans le couloir pendant notre séjour.

Im groben und Ganzen ok. Vom Flughafen Orly gut gelegen. Die Zimmer typisch Französisch klein. Was halt schade ist, man teilt sich das Gebäude mit dem Ibis Budget, wenn man ne Schulklasse oder so im Hotel eingebucht hat, wird es schnell ziemlich laut.

The room was very neat and well kept. The lighting looked very pretty and it was very good room for a budget hotel. I was completely satisfied with the experience. The room was also cleaned every day which was very good. It also had air conditioning that was excellent as Paris was very hot during my stay. It was located next to a shopping centre(Bercy 2) this was very convenient for me as I was able to get all that was needed inside there. The staff were okay. They were a bit passive aggressive but they did help. I didn’t hear of this 50 euros deposit which I was afraid of when booking this hotel. Instead I paid 4.02 euros as city tax which is understandable as I am staying in Paris. There was also a wonderful pizza shop which was shared with a bakery down the road from the hotel which had amazing pizza and great customer service. Even though the man couldn’t speak any English he was very pleasant. In terms of location, this hotel has a very good public transportation connections with bus stops within walking distance of the hotel which take you to the metro and the metro can take you across Paris. French public transportation was very easy to use and inexpensive. Even though, I felt some passive aggression in my time in France(which I believe is how french people are), I was completely satisfied with my experience and would recommend to people on a budget looking for hotels in Paris with good transportation connections.

If you need to be in Ivry Sur Seine -- and I did -- this is a reasonably priced good option. But if you don't need to be in Ivry Sur Seine, you might want to think twice, because the neighbourhood is soulless and the transport links are poor, making it unsuitable for someone wanting to spend a lot of time in central Paris, for example. My room was minimal -- a bed, desk, place to hang clothes, and a bathroom with no amenities except toilet paper and body wash. But it was very clean and very quiet. The air con worked well, as did the free wifi, and so the room was fine for me. The daily breakfast was standard continental serve-yourself buffet, but without fruit on one day. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Yes, rooms are very small by US standards, smaller than the smallest room I saw at the College Park (Atlanta Airport) Econo Lodge. However, they are twice as big as what they call “single rooms” in London’s budget hotels, which are half way between the traditional English phone booth and a small US closet, where you sleep in a tiny 90 centimeters army cot WITHOUT AC for the price you pay at the Los Angeles LAX Sheraton! At this CHOICE COMFORT HOTEL PORTE D’IVRY at least, you will sleep in a double bed in a small but clean room WITH AC, tiny desk and phone, and a full bath with the biggest shower (3 times bigger) that I’ve ever seen in Europe, together with the one of room 823 at the Orly Best Western Plus, which is the same size. It also has a sink with a hair dryer and a private “wishing well”, the greatest invention of mankind… Those amenities such as a big refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board that I always see in all CHOICE HOTELS (whether Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Clarion, etc.) in the US for around $100 with buffet breakfast included, are just a dream in Europe, so forget about it! I’ll say the same about the ice machine, which we find even in cheapest motels, and sometimes on every floor in high-end hotels like the Clarion. Forget it! The only place where I have seen an ice machine outside of the US was at the Gran Hotel Argentino in Buenos Aires, after I harassed the manager during more than seven years asking for it during every trip in the 1990s! THE MAIN ASSET of this Comfort Hotel Porte d’Ivry is its LOCATION. A short 4 blocks walk will put you at “Porte d’Ivry”, where you will see the terminal of bus 27 to go to “Quartier Latin”, “Notre-Dame”, “Opéra” and “Gare Saint-Lazare”, and also the terminal of bus 83, which will take you to “Port Royal” and “Sèvres-Babylone”. At the same “Porte d’Ivry”, you will also see the “Métro” (subway) line 7 going from “La Courneuve” in the north of Paris to “Mairie d’Ivry” in the south. If you enjoy traveling underground, this line will take you straight to “Chatelet” and “Opéra”. But I prefer to do that journey with bus 27. Last but not least, at that “Porte d’Ivry”, you will be able to take TRAM 3a, which circles Paris on the south and will take you from “Pont du Garigliano” on the west, to “Porte de Vincennes” on the east, where you will be able to take TRAM 3b, which circles Paris on the north side, and will take you to “Porte de la Chapelle”, where you will be able to take bus 350 to Roissy CDG. And if you fly to Orly, as I do with Iberia via Madrid, now that American Airlines have discontinued their nonstop flights 62 and 63 between Miami and Paris, then you can take the ORLYBUS and get off at the first stop in Paris, by my beloved Cité Universitaire, where I lived the best five years of my long life in the 1960s, then walk a block to “Montsouris” and take TRAM 3a to “Porte d’Ivy”, only six stations away. The bus and subway tickets, which I had always known since

Considering the price, I did not expect much, but the hotel proved to be not to bad at all. The staff at the reception was absolutely friendly and the hotel was clean. Also, the rooms were clean. I thought that I had to bring my own toweld and take care of my own bedding, but this was not the case (I might have been given an upgraded room?). What was especially convenient was the possability to use one of the microwaves and to use the drinking water which saved me from buying bottles. With the microwave I made my evening tea. I was initially concerned with the absence of airconditioning, but this was not a problem at all. It was about 25 degree during the day, and it was possible to leave open the window at night. Public transport is nearby (but is not accessable for wheelchairs, strollers etc).

all are fine, especially there is capsule coffee machine for us. 2 metro can be accessed within 2 minutes and 1 more can accessed in5 minutes. only the carpets seems not so good
