The Hotel is convenient for travel Walking distance to the underground stations Rooms are comfortable and clean Good value pricing Oscar at the reception is TRES PRECIEUX Merci pour ce séjour magique❣️

The room is small but very clean, the things are all complete, the location is a little bit biased, but the subway station RER station will take ten minutes. There is a black brother who is very, very, very good! On the first day, check in is what he did. Every time I greet us and ask us to have dinner. My friend and I are going to look for him to brush his face almost every day in the practice of practicing French speaking, change the change, ask the traffic route or something. He was very patient and especially helpful to solve the problem for us. It was a pity that he did not say goodbye to him. Several other front desk attitudes are also good. In short, the price is quite high, I should order it later.

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

I have been towards many times in my younger days and I always found a little room in the centre of the city at a good price. This time I was going with the family. An entirely different proposition. My partner found this place. She is very good at finding something suitable. I was a little concerned at the distance from the centre of the city. We flew to Orly and got a taxi the hotel. The coach would have been €44 for the four of us. A taxi was €36 ! The hotel is basic. Flash it is not. However, clean, warm, nice bed, good shower, quiet close to the bus route into the city are all accurate comments. This leads me onto the buses and Metro etc. We got 2 days of travel on everything (zones 1 - 3) for the four of us for less than £25 each. Great value. There is an app that can help you get around if you are not c9mfy with maps etc. Hotel does breakfast but we did not partake so I cannot comment but the location was not too far out to allow for a good evening in the city and an easy and quick trip back to a warm comfy bed with a good sleep to look forward to. Views from the hotel leave a lot to be desired. On the plus side you can see where the hotel is because it is next to the big steam emitting chimneys beside the wonky office block ! 🤣

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.

We were attracted to this hotel by its low price, and I think that is important to remember throughout this review. For £50 a night you aren’t going to get much! The hotel is well located near to a small shopping center with shops and a bakery. There is also a bus stop outside the hotel which takes you in to the center of Paris in around 10 minutes, and free parking at the front of the hotel. The staff were very welcoming. We arrived at approximately 2030 on our first night. There was no problem checking in and we were relieved to know that there was a bar and restaurant on site as we had my friends daughter with us. However, the staff informed us that the restaurant was closed due to a private party. Essentially, 5 or more coaches of what seemed to be a religious group had arrived and had hired out the entire restaurant. This was not ideal with a child and a diabetic! There are no restaurants within walking distance and we therefore had to muddle our way through ordering a dominos pizza in French online! It would have been good if the hotel had told us that the restaurant would be closed as we would have brought food with us. The numerous coaches also took up most of the parking spaces, which would have made moving the van difficult. We therefore used public transport. On our second night the lifts broke. There was a door to some stairs but the staff informed us that we weren’t allowed to use the stairs. We waited around for about an hour for the lifts to be fixed. Again, this was not ideal with a child after a long day sight seeing!

How do I find it good? There are many foreigners in one room, and the cultures from different countries collide. They are noisy. In fact, people who like cleanliness can live here. The beds are quite clean, but if you like quietness, this room is not suitable for you, because you know that there will always be many people in youth hostels. The transportation here is relatively convenient. There is a bus station downstairs, a supermarket opposite, and a fast food restaurant. There is a direct bus to the Paris Tower and the Louvre. It is quite convenient.
