Ibis Paris 17 Clichy-Batignolles

Breakfast: Standard continental, with a spacious dining area. However, the French chain burger joint right outside is absolutely delicious, with a Caribbean flair. Room: The double room felt cramped, which is understandable given it's only 13 square meters, similar to some student accommodations in the UK. I wouldn't recommend it. Cleanliness: The lobby is large and quite good. However, there were small bloodstains on the sheets, which looked like they had been washed many times. The bathroom is tiny, as the bathtub takes up a lot of space. It feels like an old building that's been converted, similar to the 'laopoxiao' (old, dilapidated, and small) apartments you find in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. You could probably find a better option for the same price. But then again, it is a chain hotel. Location: It's fairly convenient, within 30 minutes of major attractions. However, the entrance isn't very conspicuous, and you have to climb a steep hill to get there. There's a nice park near a subway station behind the hotel.

Excellent value for money, very convenient location, and the breakfast was delicious. The Asian girl at the front desk was super friendly and helped us store our luggage.

The environment is great. The service was excellent, truly outstanding and highly recommended. I loved it very much and found it to be of great value.

The hotel is very close to the subway station, and most scenic spots are about 20 minutes away. The room is a bit small.
