I am familiar with Ibis (a fairly standardized, mid-range European hotel chain) from past trips. They always provide no-frills but comfortable and affordable lodgings, and this one was no different. Room a bit smaller than other hotels in the chain, and distribution of space a bit odd. Still, bed was comfortable and room was clean. Location just off Place d'Italie (major square with shopping mall, restaurants, and access to three Metro lines) very convenient. AC was out of order for part of stay (not hotel's fault, but due to local construction), but fortunately weather was mild.
