Aparthotel Adagio Access Paris Quai d'Ivry

Bangunan yang baru saja direhabilitasi. Terletak sangat baik 5 menit dari stasiun RER C. Stafnya sangat ramah. Studio-studionya bersih dan dilengkapi dengan baik. Saya pasti akan memesan penginapan saya berikutnya.

We had already spent 1 week in Nice and I was looking for cheap and convenient accommodation near Paris for 6 nights. Came across this property on Trip.com and decided to take a chance on it. I’ll start with the positive points: 1. The lobby was very modern and the staff were friendly and helpful. 2. There is good security with access codes and double doors, so not everyone could just enter the hotel. 3. Inthe main lobby, there’s a a wall display full of useful things you could borrow eg Nespresso Machines, Hand Mixer etc and even a kick scooter & skateboard. 4. They also had hot Tea, coffee and a Still & Sparkling water dispenser you could refill for free. 5. The lobby also carried loaves of bread, jams, various snacks and soft drinks you could purchase. 6. Our “studio” was more like a 1 bedroom as the was a wall between the bedroom and the kitchen. It had a small table, 2 chairs and a surprisingly well-equipped tiny kitchen with a microwave, above-averagely large mini-fridge and all kinds of utensils, flatware & dinnerware you could need. 7. Adagio Quai-Ivry is located approximately 400M from the Ivry-Sur-Seine station on the RER B line. The train was never crowded whenever we took it, so that was very nice. 8. The hotel is about 20-25mins by train from Notre-Dame, Musee d’Orsay (places we wanted to see). For Montmarte, Eiffel Tower etc, you’ll need to transfer from RER to a metro line and walk. Average travel time was 40mins. We found it easy to buy cardboard tickets from the Ivry-Sur-Seine RER station every day, so we didn’t bother using the Navigo or RAPT App. 9. Pro tip: The BEAR Cafe right across Adagio has really delicious burgers and alcoholic drinks were extremely affordable, so don’t hesitate to eat there if you’re too lazy to venture too far. 10. There’s also a small grocery store close to the RER station for small things, so that was really convenient to grab stuff on our way back to the hotel. Now for the negatives: My 1st complaint was when we checked in on April 24, there was a strong bad stench (like poop / sewage) wafting through the 5th floor corridor. Housekeeping must have tried very hard to clean it up for many hours coz it only finally dissipated in the evening of April 25. I wasn’t sure if one of the rooms had a toilet choke but it was super 🤮🤮🤮. 2nd complaint: the bathroom layout was very poor. The designer of the rooms didn’t care about ergonomics. The toilet was very near the left wall that also had the heated towel rack. For someone who’s only 5’2”, my knees barely had 2 inch clearance to the wall in front. Anyone who’s very tall would find this very uncomfortable. Also, the toilet roll was positioned way back on the left wall, and if you are not a circus contortionist, you would have a hard time reaching it. After using the toilet once, I gave up trying to reach for the toilet paper. Instead, I removed the toilet roll from the holder and just put it on the flipped-down cover of the heated towel rack controls for easier access. 3rd complaint: The holder for the handheld shower was loose plus the water pressure was very weak, so the shower head kept flopping down towards the taps and it was impossible to shower like that. I managed to prop it up with a rolled-up small towel and just tried to clean myself as best as I know could. Overall, it was value for money as we are very relaxed travelers and were able to tolerate the inconveniences as we saw it. It’s definitely not a location for fussy travelers who have very high expectations.

A bit far ; the train pass by the station, mean sometime they are skipped to stop. Great breakfast, quite standard for the accommodations requirements.

They should get universal sockets as I couldn’t charge my phones and work on their meal service. Nice hotel nevertheless

Not worth 3 star. Bad bed and shower facilities, small room.

Très bon séjour ! Hôtel propre, bien situé et personnel accueillant. Chambre confortable pour un court séjour . Je recommande sans hésiter !
