Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was cozy with a cute Parisian window adding charm. However, it was a bit small, but the paintings inside gave it character. The room service was not the best, unfortunately.
I had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The rooms were well isolated, ensuring a peaceful sleep. Although basic, the amenities provided were sufficient. The service was helpful and friendly, guiding me through Paris with great recommendations. The location was excellent, close to vibrant nightlife and convenient subway stations. The dining options were limited but adequate. Overall, it was a value-for-money experience.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and in good order, although a bit on the smaller side. The price was reasonable, making it a good value for money choice. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and kind, especially accommodating towards our toddler. The location was excellent, surrounded by a variety of restaurants, stores, and convenient transportation options. However, cleanliness on the floors could have been better.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was small but reasonable, with a nice, big shower cabin and serviced daily. Although the hot temperature was an issue, opening the windows just slightly cooled it down, but then I had to deal with loud street noises. The service was pleasant and easy to communicate with, especially since I don't speak much French. They were exceptionally helpful in providing a baby bed for my little one and were available 24/7. The location was good, surrounded by various restaurants, shops, and coffee spots, making me feel the French vibes, but it was a bit far from major tourist attractions. Unfortunately, the dining experience was quite dreadful, and the continental breakfast for 12 euros was basic. However, the facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were disappointingly small and not as advertised, making it challenging to move around with just two bags. However, the hotel's location was convenient, being close to the train station though a bit far from the city center.
