IBIS HOTEL (PARIS)	M

BORROW A KETTLE FROM IBIS HOTEL AT 10.00 EUROS & YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK THE CASH UPON RETURNING THE KETTLE!

IBIS HOTEL has excellent service and the room is relatively good and comfortable, extra pillows and blankets can be requested at no additional charges.

However, do take note that there is no air-conditioning when its still cold outside. So do not panicked and just open the window to allow natural ventilation to cool your room down. It takes awhile but it's still kind of cold too!

Our Last Supper

Due to our separate flight, we did not follow them to Dubai as it was not included in our package and thus, we did not pay for the Dubai trip. This is because the sponsored FinnAir tickets can only be used within Europe itself. Thus we parted ways after breakfast the next day.
