Hife Paris Issy Porte de Versailles

The hotel is like a hidden gem. You can't tell that it's a hotel from the outside. Beautiful and uncommon concept in design and style. I like the multicolour designs of the rooms and interiors of the hotel. Apartment room was beautiful, cleverly designed, with efficient use of space. It had air-conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher and all required utensils. It was very clean. It's facilities were great - elevators, gym, swimming pool and a sauna (all indoors). Breakfast was nice and basic/limited. There weren't many varieties or options to choose from. Nevertheless, what was provided - the food and drinks - was satisfactory. Staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. They all could speak English. I particularly liked the one we met manning the breakfast area on our 2nd and 3rd days - he could speak French, English and Russian very well. Aquaboulevard Waterpark is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. In the same building (of Aquaboulevard), there are shops and restaurants including Decathlon, McDonald's and Häagen-Dazs Ice-cream. A tram stop is right in front of the same building. The hotel is about 5 - 7 minutes walk from Balard metro station (come out via exit 6) and about 2 - 3 minutes walk from Séverine Bus Stop. From the doors of the hotel, you take your right to head to the metro station, while you take your left to head to the bus stop. You can access/connect anywhere in the city of Paris through any of these points (especially the major tourist sites).

We immediately felt welcomed and looked after. One of the staff gave us a tour of the dining area, kitchen, bar, gym, pool and adjoining amenities. Free coffee available at any time. Microwave meals available from vending machine. Breakfast included. Kettle and coffee maker in room. Three lifts are available to reach upper floors. Room/bed comfortable. Ensuite. Location - trams and buses close by. Uber cheap to access anywhere.

The staff was very helpful in extending our time as our flight had been cancelled due to a strike at our airlines. One employee especially helped us and arranged an Uber when it was time to leave. Hotel is quite nice and a good price

Rooms were clean and comfortable and the small kitchen was very useful. Location was very good, just outside the centre but a 10 min walk to the metro line 8 which is useful for most of the main attractions or if you're a walker the Eiffel tower can be reached in about 40 mins. Parking was in a secure underground car park and at only 12.50 euros a night, good value for Paris. Breakfast was also included in the room rate and although basic was fresh and tasty. I didn't interact with the staff very much but when I did they were very friendly.

The staff were friendly, the room was great size and area was great for travelling to places we wanted to visit.
