My husband and I stayed at Citadines (La Defense, Courbevoie) for three nights the last week of August 2023. From the moment that we stepped into the hotel, we were warmly greeted by friendly receoptionist Paola. In light of the usual 'customer service' that we experience in Paris, we were pleasantly surprised by Paola's gracious, professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic attitude. If we had any questions, Paola was able to promptly and knowledgeably answer them. If we had any request to make the room more comfortable, Paola was able to address it punctually and to our satisfaction. Paola really made the experience five star from the very beginning. We are somewhat sensitive to noise, so Paola made sure that our room was facing away from the traffic towards the inside of la Defense. This made for a wonderful stay during which we could really relax and sleep well. Paola's good customer service must have been contagious, as the other staff members manning the reception desk were also very pleasant. The room itself was small but comfortable - Citadines has the benefit of an induction stove, new beds / mattresses, and a decently sized shower. This was everything that we needed for our three night stay, and we were very happy overall. There are enough little cupboards located around the room to ensure that clothes can be stored, but nothing too fancy...do not bring a big suitcase unless you upgrade to a bigger room! The entrance to Citadines is somewhat tricky to find as it is necessary to walk up the stairs in front of another hotel called Fraser Suites, along an upper esplanade, and then down some stairs around the back of Fraser Suites (which is the hotel adjoined on to Citadines). The entrance to Citadines is not very grand. Normally, the taxi will drop passengers off in front of Fraser Suites as it is too difficult to find the entrance to Citadines. From the front of Fraser Suites, the entrance to Citadines is not more than a 5 minute walk. Close by Citadines, there is a metro station accessing line 1, which will take passengers straight into the centre of Paris - very convenient. There are no remarkable restaurants in la Defense, so I would recommend that guests of Citadines travel one metro stop into Neuilly-sur-Seine to try one of the top quality restaurants located on rue de Longchamps. If you are looking for a simple yet efficient short term stay (not more than 5 days), definitely try Citadines. The location makes it very convenient to get into Paris quickly without the hassle or price of actually having a hotel in Paris. We did not try the breakfast at Citadines as we just bought our own from bakeries in Neuilly.
We visited this hotel with a school trip. When we arrived (at the 10:00pm) they asked us to give 50€/person in order not to make noise and our teachers had to give 2.000€ out of nowhere… Many of our classmates had problems with their beds (broken etc) and the reception was not helpful. On top of that, at breakfast they separated us from the rest of the hotel like we are inferior of them. The breakfast was very poor and the place very dirty as well. Would not recommend for somebody who has to stay more than one night.
I use StayCity frequently for both business and leisure purposes as they've always provided a high level of service (above what you would expect for the money paid). We were 5 minutes away from the Metro and within a 10-20 minute walk from a number of excellent little bistro's and restaurants, we both enjoyed L'Angle on Rue Arago and Palermo on Rue Victor Hugo to be excellent and quite contrasting places for dinner. They both shared fantastic food and drinks (L'Angle in Happy Hour is particularly good, try their Bramble), attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere. But enough about the restaurants and back to StayCity, I would heartily recommend the location to anyone looking to be a part of Paris, but just far enough away that you can have some peace and quiet if you want it.
This will be a full experience review incl. transportation to and from the hotel and surrounding amenities. Taking a train from CDG to La Defense was fairly easy to decipher. We elected to walk to the hotel since we didn’t have a ton of luggage and it took about 45 minutes. Alternatively you can try taking a bud or the L train which can reduce your walking time to about 15 minutes. An Uber is about 20€. It is my first time staying at an Ibis hotel. Entry was a bit confusing given that there are two similarly named hotels next to each other. When we were greeted, it was done quickly and courteously. We did not opt for the available breakfast nor did we ever step foot in the attached restaurant as there are plenty of great places around. The reception area is small but still fairly trendy with modern style furnishings and work areas. Like the other French hotels we stayed at we were only given 1 access card. A second would have been nice. The room was small as most in Paris are, but you didn’t come to Paris to sit in your room. There was a small TV, an enclosed bathroom with a small toilet and small stand up shower. The hot water NEVER stopped and the water pressure was great. They cleaned and restocked the bathroom daily so you don’t have to worry about that. The bed was comfortable enough and can fit 2-3 people comfortably. There was also a small TV. Unfortunately we had a view of the apartments behind the hotel and not of the river. Would have been nice for or honeymoon but can’t complain too much. The walls are admittedly fairly thin as we couldn’t always hear what our neighbours were up to but sometimes you could hear louder TVs or the washrooms being used. Access to all our daily activities was easy. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby just across the bridge on the island. Keep in mind restaurants work a little differently in Paris, tips are usually included in the price of the meal and they close in between lunch and dinner. Dinner service starts at 7pm. Smoker? Enjoy cigars here and there? There’s a Tobacco shop on the island as well open from 8am-8pm. Further past the island there is a beautiful rich neighbourhood you can walk through with plenty of shops and greenery. La defense is essentially a main station and you can reach most if not all of the activities of the city from there. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again given it’s fair price, accessible location and quieter area.

RRita GThis was our assigned hotel for a bus tour and we stayed extra time on the front end of the tour plus returned at the end of the tour. Great location across the Siene with a 10 minute walk to the Metro that takes you straight into the heart of the city using line 1. The hotel was clean, the rooms modern, on the small size because of Europe but large enough to just turn around, the beds were super comfy but extremely high off the ground, the bathroom was a really good size, the breakfast plenty with a variety of choices, staff friendly and helpful. The only con on this hotel would be the front steps to lug your suitcase up. There was a handicap lift but I never saw it in operation. The front steps were manageable. We also requested a sack breakfast since our departure was so early and that was a nice touch. We also had the opportunity to eat dinner in the restaurant and both occasions the meal was very good, especially after a long day of seeing the sights. Highly recommend.
If you are looking for a citytrip hotel in Paris you should go to this one! Rooms are small but who cares, you’re there for the city and not for the hotel room. It was clean, and we had a nice breakfast! We can recommend this hotel! Parking is from Friday 19:00 until Monday 09:00 for free ! We parked our car one street away from the hotel fully safe to do this.
I’ve visited countries all across the world and I’ve never seen such a service like this they only care about money although we staying a long time in the hotel , the female receptionist are great but there is mahbod at the reception he is very arrogant , irate and unprofessional he refused to change the category of the room, even though we were willing to pay extra. We booked a big room for 140 euros and we wanted to exchange it for two smaller rooms that’s worth 70 euro each which make 140 euro but he refused to and proceeded to get irritated and disrespectful and he doesn’t speak fluent English which makes the communication even harder
All the basics were there and we had good stay (6 nights). Value for money! Good: - Great air condition (it was 28-36 celsius outside but room was really pleasant (22-23 celsius)) - Clean room - Breakfast included with fresh oranges juice machine thingy - Didn't hear any noice from other rooms (lucky or good walls) - Location was okay - Staff at reception was friendly - Drinkable tap water (only with slight side taste, Paris feature) - (Small) elevator (though it broke halfway our stay and was offline rest of trip) - WiFi signal was good in our room (3rd floor) Could be better: - WC/restroom was really small but gladly we are not large persons so we managed - No refrigerator in room - Room cleaning came up quite already in the morning (around 9 o'clock), don't forget do not disturb sign if you want slower morning - Breakfast could have some vegetables and greens (like salad, tomato, paprika, cucumber) but it is propably normal France style breakfast. We also have vegan diet but staff from kitchen didn't speak good enough English to tell what is vegan and what is not. - Slighty crooked shelf in our room (could not be used for items and room was already quite small) - WiFi was free but you had to login through website (just give email) so you couldn't use Chromecast with room TV. You would need a laptop to use as a wifi repeater to bypass this.
There are 3 ibis hotels in close proximity and confusion over which is which is where we got started. We were 3 of us (couple + young adult) and had a room with a bunk bed. So far so good. Bumped my head multiple times with a bang on the bunk bed while trying to get up from the primary bed. Despite being careful, this made us reverse our sleeping position to head on the other side of the bed. Room was functional and nothing to write home about, but that's what you get on a budget.
