Enticed by the stunning photos on the official website, we booked directly with the hotel. The first surprise upon arrival: a truly impressive lobby, worthy of a 4-star rating. We think we made the right choice. Then comes the moment to go to our room… in the building across the street. Result: a tiny room, a bathroom the size of an airplane cabin, no desk, no minibar. An Ibis without the Ibis sign. When we pointed out the glaring difference from what was presented online, the reception's response was curt: "We do not have another room to offer you." No solution. No commercial gesture. The photos sell a dream. The reality, however, is in the building across the street.

Update #2 (May 24, 2026) One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. Thankfully, I documented everything with photos and videos. The AC is not working during a current heat wave in Paris. The room smells unpleasant due to dirty carpets, and we even found spiders in the room. I spoke with three different front desk staff members and explained the situation multiple times. Their solution was to offer a fan, but the room still feels unbearably hot with almost no ventilation. On top of that, I had to use the fridge at the hotel’s concierge desk just to store my personal food because the fridge in our room was not functioning properly. This was incredibly inconvenient and unacceptable for a hotel advertising basic amenities. We bought cheese and butter for dinner and lunch, but because the fridge in the room was not working, the items melted and became unusable. I have already escalated this situation to my bank and shared documentation of the conditions and service failures. I am also considering sharing my experience publicly across platforms including Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram because guests deserve transparency before booking here. This hotel was recently acquired by new management, and there appears to be a major decline in both service quality and maintenance standards. Based on my experience, the new management seems unprepared to operate a hospitality property at the level advertised online. (I doubt this management is European or American). UPDATE (May 20, 2026) 1. The AC is not working. According to the night concierge, the cooling systems across the building have been disabled. 2. The WiFi/internet was also not functioning properly. 3. We were informed that some safety cameras in the building were affected due to the internet outage, which raised additional safety concerns. It is extremely misleading to advertise AC and WiFi as available amenities when both services were either unavailable or unreliable during our stay, especially during a heat wave. I am currently speaking with Expedia regarding a refund for the sleepless and uncomfortable nights we experienced.
