IBIS PARIS GARE DE LYON DIDEROT, Paris

The hotel sits in a lively area a short walk from Gare de Lyon, giving direct rail access across Paris and to the airports. The metro station 200 metres away connects quickly to the Louvre and Champs-Élysées. Many restaurants, cafés, and a Carrefour supermarket are within a few minutes' walk. For those driving, the nearest public parking is at the train station or the Novotel, a 5-minute walk away.

Rooms are modern and functional, featuring air conditioning, soundproofing, a wardrobe, and a hairdryer. Some rooms have a balcony but these must be requested in advance and are not guaranteed. Standard double rooms are compact and better suited for solo travellers or short stays; triple rooms offer more floor space and a sofa bed. The property also has connecting rooms available on request. Noise from the street or elevator can be an issue, so light sleepers should request a room away from these areas.

The breakfast buffet includes eggs, fruit salad, yogurts, juices, pastries baked on site, and fresh Madeleine cakes. A lighter early option is available from 04:00. The 24-hour snack bar serves drinks, wine, champagne, and snacks. Fruit is available at an extra charge. For those wanting more variety, several restaurants are a short walk away.
