Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The room with 2 single beds was ugly and poorly furnished, super small, and basic. While we struggled with space, we found it hard to open the door and move comfortably around the room. The service assisted us in tailoring the room to our needs, being pleasant and helpful, though requesting cleaning ladies to maintain hygiene practices. The location was ideal, with easy access to shopping, Metro stations, vegan food options, and popular attractions like Moulin Rouge. The dining experience offered a satisfying selection at reasonable prices. As for facilities, they were adequate with no significant drawbacks noted.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, modern, and comfortable, but the size felt a bit cramped like a closet. The service was friendly and accommodating, making my stay pleasant despite some minor issues. The location was ideal for exploring the city, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, although the breakfast selection was satisfying.
The hotel provided a mixed experience, with clean and good-sized rooms featuring a nice small Parisian balcony as a pleasant surprise; however, lacking in decorative elements. The service was friendly and helpful, particularly in aiding with transport issues. The location was convenient for transit and exploring Paris on foot. The dining options offered a decent selection, although some aspects fell short. Overall, a place with positives and some room for improvement.
The hotel is centrally located and offers easy access to Paris attractions, with a variety of dining options nearby. The rooms are clean and well-equipped but may have a faint smoke smell, even in non-smoking rooms. The service is mixed, with friendly staff but some hygiene issues in handling towels. The breakfast selection is good but slightly pricey. The location is convenient, although some aspects of the design may appear dated.
Staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. The location was great, near various transportation options and charming spots like Moulin Rouge and The Opera. The rooms were on the smaller side, but they were spotlessly clean and had enough storage space. The service was helpful overall, yet there were concerning hygiene issues with the cleaning procedures. The dining options were good but somewhat repetitive. It's a decent choice for the price, considering the location and cleanliness.
The hotel had very small rooms, but the bathroom was large and modern. The staff were friendly and helpful, quickly addressing room issues. The location was perfect, with easy access to main attractions and public transport. The dining experience was satisfying, offering a variety of options. Overall, the hotel provided value for money.
