IBIS DAUMESNIL PORTE DOREE, Paris

The hotel lies at the edge of Bois de Vincennes, a large park ideal for walks and picnics. Porte Dorée metro station (Line 8) is less than a minute away, whisking you to central Paris in about 20 minutes. The closer Porte de Charenton station (450 m) offers additional tram and metro connections. Nearby attractions include Bercy Village and AccorHotels Arena (25-minute walk). Gare de Lyon train station is 20 minutes away on foot or by bus. For airport transfers: Orly is 20 minutes via tram T3A and RER C; Charles de Gaulle takes about 40 minutes via metro and RER B. The surrounding 12th arrondissement is a quiet, safe neighbourhood with numerous restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and fast-food outlets within a few blocks. A farmers market operates on weekends in the park across the street.

The hotel offers double and twin rooms, each with air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Rooms are accessed by lift. Most rooms are small, with limited storage (no wardrobe, only a small shelf), so unpacking from a suitcase may be necessary. Some rooms face the street and experience traffic noise; rooms near the entrance and lift can hear slamming doors and ventilation hum. The ventilation system in bathrooms runs continuously. Beds are firm; some complaints about thin pillows and non-breathable duvets. No in-room kettle, fridge, or coffee machine. Free coffee and tea are available at the reception 24/7. Daily housekeeping is provided but may be minimal (making bed, emptying bin; not deep cleaning). Higher-floor rooms tend to be quieter. For light sleepers, earplugs are recommended.

Breakfast costs €10.50 per person and includes a buffet with bread, pastries (some baked on site), madeleines, eggs, fruit salad, yogurts, juices, and hot drinks. A takeaway option (hot drink and fruit) is available. From 04:00, a lighter continental breakfast is offered for early risers. The breakfast selection is consistent daily; hot items like scrambled eggs may be cold at times. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but the surrounding area has numerous dining options within a short walk, including Italian, Asian, and fast food, as well as bakeries and supermarkets. Free coffee and tea are available at the reception throughout the day.
