The mid-range Ibis Bastille Opera offers the attractive
combination of a prime location and good rates. Located in the 11th Arrondissement, it's a brief walk to Place de la Bastille, a metro
station, and numerous restaurants, nightclubs, and boutiques. Its 305 no-frills
rooms are clean and functional, but small and starkly-decorated with cramped
bathrooms. Its full-service restaurant offers buffet and a la carte options, and
the 24-hour bar serves light fare. Business travelers are catered to with several meeting rooms and free Wi-Fi, plus the hotel offers laundry services and a concierge. As an alternative, the nearby BLC Design Hotel is more stylish with sleek and modern all-white decor, but it doesn't offer as many amenities.

Scene
Large, business-oriented hotel with simple, chain-hotel decor
Located near the Bercy business district and offering meeting space, this
large hotel hosts many budget-conscious business travelers. But, with the City
of Lights’ standing as one of the world’s top tourist destinations, this Ibis chain
property sees many tourists who enjoy its central location and value rates. The
long and narrow contemporary lobby utilizes the red Ibis logo color
as a prominent accent to its white walls and tile floors, with red sofas,
vases, drapes, and lights above a trio of kiosk-type reception desks. A
modern wood and steel bar-style table with chairs resting on steel pedestals
has media plug-ins for work or travel planning. The Ibis Kitchen restaurant at
one end of the lobby is brightly advertised in white neon. It offers a lovely
outdoor space for urban al fresco dining in warm weather. The busy bar is also bathed in soft red light. Overall, there's nothing fashion-forward about this chain property, but it has a clean, comfortable atmosphere.
Location
In the 11th Arrondissement, near Place de la Bastille and a metro station
The Ibis Bastille Opera is located in the 11th Arrondissement, just a short walk to the Breguet-Sabin
metro station and an eight-minute walk to Place de la Bastille. It’s located on a
quiet street, but numerous restaurants, nightclubs, and boutiques are within a
one- to three-minute walk, and the many attractions along bustling Boulevard
Beaumarchais are a six-minute walk away. The Bercy business district on the River
Seine is a 14-minute drive (30 minutes on metro) from the hotel. - Three-minute walk to Breguet-Sabin metro station
Rooms
Clean and functional rooms, but small and starkly decorated
These starkly decorated rooms have bare white and beige walls and light wood floors that match the wooden furniture, which includes headboards,
nightstands, and desks that are connected in a modular style. Trim around mirrors and above the brown and red drapes is also the same blonde wood. Simple black wood chairs with metal
frames sit under the desks, while tiny closets provide a small amount of storage space. Bedding is bright white, including the duvets. The
rooms are clean and functional, but decidedly small. Standard Rooms are the only option here, and they come with either a double bed or two singles. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, phones, slippers, and
small flat-screen TVs, but there are no mini-fridges, tea/coffee facilities, or safes. Bathrooms are cramped and include narrow shower stalls with clear glass doors and hand-held showerheads. Tiny, white ceramic
pedestal sinks, wood floors, and yellow painted walls round out the motif.
Circular, portal-like windows reinforce the feeling that the petite bathrooms
resemble those found in cruise ship cabins. Magnifying mirrors are included,
and soap and shampoo come from wall-mounted dispensers. Views from the
generally quiet rooms are mostly of roofs or surrounding buildings.
