Issy-les-Moulineaux, Paris Hotel Rooms at the Independent

restuarants and shops one minute walk from hotel, Metro same distance, Metro to Eiffel Tower, and from their river boat hop on hop off, or river cruise, from Hotel by Metro to Euro Star station Fourty minutes. In all being our first trip by rail, very satisfied, will use rail in future, easer than flying. Good trip Thank you

This hotel was perfect for staying somewhere close with easy access to central Paris. Also, the room was clean, had good facilities including towels, toiletries and free wifi. Everything was within reach including the local bakery, super market and shops.

Very nice welcoming from the staff. Even if my room was very basic, it stand on the back, not the street, on the 4th floor, so i was lucky not to have any noise. The shower was very basic, as was the restrooms but clean. Overall, I spent a good bight sleep given the price I paid

Located in Issy Les Molineaux, for a smallish hotel and as a place to use as a central base for exploring Paris and the surrounding countryside it was great. The rooms were nicely 'modernized', and cleanliness was good. Heating and air conditioning is good. Bathrooms are adequate with toilet, basin & tub/shower and LOTS of HOT water, but be warned they are tiny. Tips: a) for the quieter rooms from traffic noise choose the rooms ending in 9 to 12. b) Rooms ending in 4 are directly above the bus shelter & if you sleep with the windows open you hear conversations(good way to brush up on your french though). c) For best view, rooms ending in 8 look out over the 5 street traffic circle and the dance of traffic and people walking can be fascinating. As a note traffic moves fairly quietly, very few noisy trucks and seldom a honking of horns. For transportation the location is MOST excellent. If you are driving it is a quick connection to traffic hubs. If you are a rail traveller on Metro, REI or Tram user stops are a very short walk from the hotel. Bus stops are on 2 sides of the hotel. Taxi to/from a) Airports are 20 to 30 and b) Train stations are 5 to 10 e.u.r.o.s. Desk staff are most helpful and kind(except for the little man in the dark hair) and are bilingal, but nearby restaurants, cafes & shops ONLY speak french(that was the nicest thing about the area it is a business district and AWAY from the tourists). The continental breakfast is good value.
