I dont normally write these kinds of reviews but the amount of misinformation regarding the Ideal Hotel (96 Emile Zola) is colossal. First of the website is a scam, being constantly 'out of date' and the much advertised student prices on breakfast do not apply. The rooms are very small, but have decent sound proofing, provided you book a room... More

Stayed here 9 years ago, going back to Paris in June 2013 not this hotel. Only because doing apratment this time. This hotel very small room, jump over the bed to go to bathroom, and just stand still in shower. Quaint, mini lift, breakfast not so crash hot but adequate. Nice stay and we loved the neighbourhood. Would stay here... More

Ive spend there 2 days, and it was really nice. Clean, with own bathroom, and worth the money. The bedroom was really tiny, but for the price what would you expect! Besides, you are in Paris for the city, not to stay in the hotel all day. Its near underground with McDonalds nearby and other quite nice restaurants and shops.... More

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with no problems at all. The staff were very helpful, however the lift was quite small. The hotel is in a perfect location, 20 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and 5 minute walk from the Amelia Zola metro. Do not listen to the negative reviews here - you get what you... More

We stayed in here for 2 nights and first impressions were great. We was greeted by a lovely English speaking receptionist. We had the luxury room on the top floor and the view was fantastic. We couldn't see the Eiffel tower but we had a nice view of the typical parisian avenue. The lift is a bit on the small... More

First impressions, the elevator was broken but the clerk took my bag up 4 flights of dirty carpeted stairs to my room. it was tiny with my tiny double bed almost against the wall. The room smelled of fresh paint so I thought it was clean but the bed looked so old I slept on top of the covers rather... More

We got bed bugs in this hotel! The person at the reception was totally overwhelmed with the situation. They didn't look for a professionell exterminator, but tried to kill the bugs by themselves. We got another room but there were bed bugs too. Back home we unfortunately still have to deal with the bugs, because we got them as a... More

Title says it all really. Tiny room, tinier bathroom. I liked the location though, walkable distance to the Eiffel tower, yet quite residential area, a few nice shops and restaurants around, very safe. Would not stay in this hotel again though. Having said that it provided us for a bed for the night on a very tight budget back when... More
