Ibis Saint Gratien, Paris

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: High demand

...Everyone has heard of Ibis hotels, but not many people are aware that they serve other countries worldwide, such as France. Ibis Paris Roissey Charles de Gaulle Paris is a modern 4-storey building which was built with tourists in mind in the 1980s. This hotel is perfect for any occasion, whether you're staying the night before/after your flight, or looking for somewhere to stop-over to visit Paris city centre! Situated 2.5km from the CDG airport, this 304 room hotel is perfect for families on a budget. The prices are standard for Ibis htoels, with a room costing between 66-84 Euros (£45-56) during the week - depending on the time of year and 66 Euros (£45) at weekends. Although this may seem quite a lot for an airport hotel, its a lot less than other hotels in the are are charging, and you have to bear in mind the demand... Read review

Advantages: Clean, comfortable and reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Difficult for access by car

...to the car, for which the car park managers refused to take responsibility despite the fact that they had insisted on parking the car for me! I am a great fan of the Ibis chain of hotels. Ibis is a division of the French Accor hotel group. There are an increasing number of them in the UK though they are still far from wide-spread.

Ibis, in my opinion, sets the benchmark for clean, well-maintained, comfortable hotel accommodation at affordable prices in popular locations. I decided to check to see what they had on the east side of Paris for our extended weekend, as that would be the closest to our point of entry to Paris.

Advantages: Great value for money, great location and easy access
Disadvantages: None

...This hotel is great value for money. Situated very near to Montmartre it is an ideal base for seeing Paris on a budget. With good Metro access (Porte de Clignancourt) is only a couple of minutes walk, it is easy to get to from any of the main railway stations and easy to reach all of the attractions of Paris by Metro or bus. In the immediate area, there is a special bus service that will take you up the hill to Montmartre for a visit to the Sacre Coeur and the Place due Tertre where artists still gather. Then hop back on the bus to go to down the hill to the Place Pigalle, location of the Moulin Rouge. A Paris Visite travel card (available for 1 to 5 days) will give you travel on buses, Metro and trains across all of Paris. With many other attractions in the area, the Hotel Ornano is well situated for great bars... Read review
