IBIS PARIS BASTILLE OPERA, Paris

The area around the hotel brims with restaurants, bars, cafés, and a Sunday market just 100 metres away. Bastille Metro Station (lines 1, 5, 8) provides direct access to major sites such as the Louvre and Champs-Élysées, while Breguet-Sabin station (line 5) is the closest for airport connections. The Eiffel Tower is a one-hour walk or a short metro ride away, and Notre Dame is about a 30-minute walk. For Charles de Gaulle Airport, a taxi costs €50-€55 and takes 35-40 minutes; the train is 40 minutes. Parking is on-site (€35/day, height limit 1.80m), but street parking is limited. The neighbourhood is safe for walking at night, with several supermarkets and bakeries nearby.

Rooms are compact, typical for central Paris, with limited floor space but functional storage compartments and space under the bed for luggage. The triple room sleeps 2 adults and a child on a small couch. All rooms feature a high-quality sponge mattress, a work desk, USB ports for charging, and an iron on request (available on the 4th floor). Some bathrooms are very small-the shower cubicle and toilet can be cramped. Rooms on higher floors offer views over the rooftops. Those facing the road may have some street noise, and rooms near the lift have lift noise. Windows can be opened for fresh air. There is no room safe, kettle, or minibar.

The breakfast buffet includes eggs, fruit salad, yogurts, juices, pastries baked on-site, fresh French madeleine cakes, and a hot beverage with fruit to take away. The on-site restaurant, Le Génie Sous Les Étoiles, serves French cuisine in a family-friendly setting (open Mon-Sun 12:00-22:30). The bar is open 18:00-22:00 for drinks and snacks. A snack bar and vending machines are available 24/7. The surrounding area has a wide choice of restaurants and cafes within a short walk, including the bakery Ten Belles next door.

Leisure facilities include a games room with a football table and arcade machine, a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a picnic area, and occasional live music performances and themed dinner nights. The lobby itself features comfortable lounge nooks, swing seats, and abundant plants, creating a relaxed environment for socialising or remote work. Bicycles are available to rent nearby, and the hotel can store bikes in the room. For family fun, there are board games and an indoor play area for children.

The 24-hour front desk offers concierge service, express check-in/out, and a safety deposit box. Paid services include daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, ironing, and meeting/banquet facilities. Accessible parking is available for wheelchair users, and the property is wheelchair accessible via lift. Pets are allowed at €10 per animal per night.
