We stayed in the hotel for two nights and was not what we expected. The lift in hotel could only fit one person and was not very reliable, our room was on the 8th floor, the lift was not working when we arrived so we had to carry our suitcases up 8 flights of stairs no member of staff offered... more

The hotel is nice and clean. The staff is friendly. However, it's not really as nice as it seems from the picture. All in all, it's quite ok and it's worth your money. more

I spent three nights at Hotel Idéal with two friends last week. It was my third time staying there, and my friend’s fifth time, so we had obviously been happy with it on previous occasions. We had recommended it to others travelling to Paris. Neither of us will stay there again. The price for a twin room has increased from... more

After spending a very noisy 2 weeks in Nice and Rome, we were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was clean for one thing, having obviously just been renovated and painted, and the lobby was still under construction. We asked for and got a top floor room, so it was pretty quiet. I would suggest if they want to keep... more

I was a bit apprehensive staying at this hotel because of its mixed reviews, but decided to take the chance since it was a really good rate n (€60 for a double room off Venere.com) in a good location (like literally minutes from the metro station). We were pleasantly surprised. Toilet/Shower was small but okay. Lift was VERY small but... more
