Hotel ibis budget Stains (Stains, France)

Reviewers often appreciated this hotel's location in the Stains neighbourhood as it was situated between Charles de Gaulle Airport and central Paris. Guests reported that it was within walking distance of the nearest stations for metro and RER services into the city centre. It was also easily accessed by car as it was a short drive from the A1. Drivers appreciated the secure free on-site parking and proximity of fuel stations. Several guests welcomed being so close to a park for leisurely strolls.

According to many visitors, members of staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Check-in was usually swift too.

The reportedly simple rooms were well-maintained, clean and comfortable enough for a shorter stay. Many visitors commented that the hotel offered fair value for money thanks to its usually inexpensive room rates for the area.

The lack of a 24-hour front desk proved irritating for some reviewers, who disliked having to use an automated room allocator to check-in when they were arriving out-of-hours; the process wasn't always straightforward for travellers not carrying the payment card they booked with.

Some critics felt the en suite bathroom facilities resembled in-room cubicles as opposed to separate rooms. There was also occasional criticism that certain rooms were drab or dimly lit.

Noise from adjacent corridors and rooms occasionally travelled too easily through thin walls and was audible for some light sleepers. Meanwhile, some guests said they could detect off-putting smoky smells in certain areas of the building.
