Ibis Budget Meudon Paris Ouest

No kettle in the room

Good As always Ibis being a budget hotel is good for staying and for saving money. I dont expect that much but is great to stay here. The rooms are amazing as always and clean. The staff always helpful and there is a breakfast but have to pay. They clean the rooms daily. These is parking in the hotel which is better to book in advance and pay. There is a lot of restaurants and bakery next to the hotel. A supermarket is only 3 minutes walk. Very calm area and not busy at all. Bad - There is no space next to the hotel for parking a car and removing your luggage. The only space is next to the main door but is always closed and no car allowed to enter. - I paid for breakfast but it doesnt worth the money you pay. Is expensive and there is no full breakfast. Only bread and coffee. - One of the rooms (room 124) had no lock on the window. - The heating cannot be controlled and at night was too hot that I had to leave the window open, unluckily for me I had to deal with mosquitoes too.

This is a hotel from the Ibis budget range, so our expectations were adjusted appropriately. That said, it was fine for our purposes and we would happily stay here again. We needed to stop off in Paris on the return leg of a ski trip, but we needed a hotel with parking and easy access to Paris city centre. One key factor was that this hotel is in a good, safe neighbourhood. Also, it has an underground car park (at extra cost). The staff member on duty was very helpful and took time to explain that the best way into Paris was by the nearby tram which connects to the Metro at Porte de Versailles. Just note that you need separate tickets for the tram and the Metro. The room was small and had the washbasin actually in the room itself. A "budget" feature I believe. That said, the shower and the WC were separate, which was useful. The main bed was a double with a bunk bed overhead. One small hassle was that we had to ask for bedding for the bunk bed, but this was quickly sorted out. There is no air-con, so I wouldn't stay here in very hot weather. However, there was a window you could open. In fact, there was a sign saying not to open the window beyond the limiter for safety reasons, but the limiter was broken! Could be a serious issue if staying with small children. One key point for me is that there seemed to be no issues with cleanliness here. Don't care if things are slightly worn, but cleanliness is paramount, so kudos to the staff here. Nice local area with restaurants and shops, which is another plus.

Excellent for going to the Parc des Princes by public transport (289 bus) which was the purpose of our trip.

Good value for money. Clean room and really comfortable mattress. Staff were friendly and helpful and it was only a short walk to the train station or bus stop. We ate out at a pizzeria close by on our second night and had a nice meal. The area felt safe and it was only half an hour or so to get into central Paris on the train.

Nice and essential hotel in Meudon

I didn’t get to stay at the property as my son was Covid positive. I called the property and they told me to send them evidence. Fair enough, I have sent them. Both *********** and the property are throwing the responsibility to each other. Property says that *********** have to send the evidence to them and *********** says that they don’t do that, I have to send it directly to the property. Bottom line, none of the both parties is helping. The issue is not being resolved. The person who is dealing with this matter and as the receptionists referred to him as “director” is nowhere to be found. I have called numerous times the property and they ignore me. The worst customer service ever. I am a guest service manager myself. I am working with *********** for years. And to help the guest I have even called *********** in order to not have miscommunication. There is no empathy and professionalism at all.

There was one guy in particular at the front desk who checked us in and said we could ask him any questions we had and that he would be working each day of our stay. Since he said this, I frequently asked him questions about directions and he even tried to help me check in for my flight. So nice! I choose this location because it seemed halfway between the center of Paris and Versailles using the RER C each way. According to the nice front desk guy, the RER C isn't technically part of the main transportation system, so it wasn't showing up for me on the transportation apps I was using. That and the fact that Saint-Michel station was closed, made it take longer than I expected to get to the city center, but was only a 30 min ride to Versailles, which is what I expected. Obviously, these things are not the hotel's fault, I am just adding it so anyone who reads this and plans on using ***** transportation, remember to check what will be closed if anything. Also my apps were showing the RER C was completely closed, and the nice front desk guy helped by letting me know that was not the case. Also its about a 15 min walk to the train station and there is a cute little bakery right on the corner where the hotel is that have great pastries! Also again, due to confusing transportation, we got a little lost and ended up taking a train back that we hadn't taken on the way in. (There's at least 3 train stations within a 10-15 min walk of the hotel.) This was between 10-11 at night and it seemed like a safe neighborhood.

The area was good and just 45 min from Effie tower. Good transport link to the area and the bus stop just in front of the door. The room amenities were basic, no soap over the sink, no water or boiler. But overall, I recommend that for a quick visit.
