Hotel general appearance is positive and I found kind and willing people at the reception. Beside my room there was a couple of disreputable people laying on the floor. Really a bad impression and not feeling of safe place! The room was not super cleaned but the really worst thing was that there was a strong smell of smoke! All in all, if you look for a cheap hotel in this area, in my case it was close to Le Bourget, and you can accept some compromises maybe you can choose this place. I often use ibis hotel, this one was definitely not one of top ranked.

Stayed at the Hotel Ibis Budget in Bobigny for three nights. We had booked three rooms, one being a family room. I've stayed at other budget hotels but never stayed at an Ibis Budget hotel in the past so it was going to be a new experience. On arrival the front desk staff were very good, quick with the check-in process. Very helpful with any questions. They made sure all our three rooms were in very close proximity to each other, which was handy. Although generally clean, the rooms can be a little "pot luck". Two of the rooms had a nice fresh smell, I ended up with the room that had a cigarette smell, even though it's had signs on the door pointing out no smoking. The floor also had a black burn mark on it where a previous guest must have placed a lit cigarette on it. I didn't make a fuss about the smell because apart from sleeping we had no plans to spend time at the hotel. The room was a nice size, basic but clean. The bed was was a nice size and comfortable. There are light switches built into the headboard which was a nice touch, saving getting out of bed to switch on the main lights. The bathroom only had a shower but the family room that we had booked did have a full bath. The bathroom was clean but there were marks on the floor in front of the shower. This is because when you shower the water hits the shower door and then runs down the door on to the floor. The door is mounted too far away from the shower tray. I noticed the same when I checked our other room that had a shower in it. The floor there was also marked in front of the shower. This problem is annoying because when you step out of the shower the floor is soaking wet. I ended up using a spare towel everyday to soak up the water. It's just poor design. On our first morning at the hotel all three rooms had luke warm water for washing and showering but on the other days the water was nice and warm. We paid to have breakfast included in our stay. It's a simple self service continental breakfast, eat as much as you want. It was cheap and worth the little extra we paid for. The carpark is a good size, there was plenty of space everyday. The carpark is free and it's entrance gate is controlled with a pin number. The streets near the hotel were full of cars so the free carpark was very useful. Note, the entrance to the carpark is on the side of the hotel, so not so obvious when you first arrive. Free WiFi, yes Free WiFi. No complaints about the WiFi, fast and responsive. No complicated registration process or limited use, available throughout our stay. Overall the stay at the hotel was good. The hotel was generally clean and tidy. You can be a little unlucky with the room you end up with but that could happen in any hotel. The shower door problem should be addressed by the hotel management as the floor is getting damaged and the potential is there for a guest to slip on the wet floor. The rooms are basic but no more basic than other big brand budget hotels I've stayed at. Would I recommend the hotel? It was cheap, generally clean, good size rooms, free carpark, all you can eat breakfast, good road links, friendly staff, very little traffic noise, free WiFi. It would be have to be a YES. And if you end up in a room that doesn't smell of cigarettes it's a bargain.
