We just talked about Ibis hotels in Paris on this group a few weeks
ago. Check google for an archive.

I can recommend the Ibis Gare de l'Est convienient to both that
station and Gare du Nord. Good location and friendly staff that went
out of their way to help me when I got sick during my stay.

Well, just looking at the map on the Ibis website, it seems that there are
about a dozen that are in the central area of Paris. Picking with a pin I
would choose one of the ones near Opera as being closest to touristy things.

For an alternative, the one at Jemmapes is near the Canal St Martin, which
may be a factor if you're a fan of Amelie or Hotel du Nord.

Nowhere in Paris is very far from the Metro.

Ibis is a mass-market motel type chain. You might want to try a small local
hotel. Go to Jack's website, <a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.jack-travel.com," target="_blank">www.jack-travel.com,</a> for a good list of hotels
in all areas of Paris.

I recently booked the Ibis Eiffel Cambronne which is near to Metro 6 which
goes to Etoile etc. This seemed to be suitable for my particular transport
requirements..

It used to be part of the Arcade chain which Ibis took over. It's rooms are
small even by European standards. I felt that Arcade was slightly downmarket
from Ibis. Location is OK, near an elevated Metro stop, IIRC.

The one at Montparnasse is near everything,
Metro, Mainline station to the West, plenty
of restaurants etc., on the Boulevard.

There is an Ibis hotel right beside the Mercure Montmarte, about a
block form the Place Clichy Metro stop. It is a block from the
Cemetere Monmartre and a short walk from Montmartre itself, and just
a few blocks from Pigaille, an area that is a little sleazy bit quite
popular with tourists.

Brilliant I googled about this hotel and only found good stuff... what
you have said would probably have made me choose another ibis.. ah well..at
least the location is ok which is the main thing ..

I've stayed there twice (1998 and 2000). Rooms were ok for a hotel-chain of
it's type. Breakfast was included in my price (check this) and provided a
good variety and quantity. Very near Metro Cambronne. Area authentic. On a
bus route [no 80] that crosses the Champs Elysees). Getting back late at
night needed a taxi (I could not work out where to catch the night buses).
An easy walk to Eiffel Tower, Not very many restaurants visible in the
area.
