Ibis Budget Paris la Villette 19ème

Clean hotel, not far from gare du nord, about 10 mins by taxi. Takes about 30 mins to get to effiel tower from here though in peak times (via taxi) so not an ideal base if you’re going to that area. We had a bunk bed and the kids loved it. Happy with the room overall.

Very nice service all together, only 1 thing I found little odd is that they charge extra for baggage storage after checkout, which is generally available in other hotels including Travelodge.

Very very basic. In theory, was fine as solo traveller. Close to metro. Though upon my arrival I was charged an additional €37 and told it was ‘city tax’ by the staff member (even though city tax was €6.50 for both nights) and then when i contested it, they told me that Trip had told them to charge me this fee without even being able to provide proof of when or where Trip had asked them to do so. They simply said ‘we have not made a mistake, call the agency’. They are now refusing to cooperate with Trip and I have still not received my money back. Absolutely will not be staying here again and do not recommend
