Hotel Abrial Paris

Room was not ready when we arrived and had not been cleaned. Upon entering room, dirty sheets and towels piled on floor. BIG CONSTRUCTION SITE across the street and was very loud. Noise woke us up very early each morning and could not leave windows open. Room was warm, stuffy and A/C did not work. Because of construction, water was shut off to hotel and we did not have water from 0900-1400. Had to set alarm early in order to use bathroom. Wifi connection was intermittent and had to pay for it. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

The hotel was located in a somewhat funky area--a plus--but across from a construction site. The reception area is pleasant and they were willing to let us leave bags in the storage area. However, they charge extra for wifi, breakfast is very expensive, and the rooms are quite shabby, with old tired carpets, marginal beds, peculiar showers and tiny tubs.

BUSINESS

Plan to wipe off your shoes after walking on Rue Cardinet because as the title says, this is a construction zone of both the street in front of the place, and a new building directly accross from it that will likely take a year to complete. That said, the location was reasonable, not directly on a busy street (maybe this will be different once the construction is complete) but close to restaraunts as probably all Paris hotels are. Given the breakfast at 20 and internet at 10, I didn't even quote the bar but I was there to walk around anyway.

Location is ok close to the metro, there is a work place neer by.

Great deal for the price and incredibly helpful and kind staff! If you want to see Paris on a budget, it's perfect.

The Hotel is Northwest of the center of the city. Many subway lines come there. If you prefer there is a shuttle bus to and from the airport for around 17 euro each way. Is worth it if it is a hot day. The Hotel was surprisingly clean. They charge extra for breakfast, setup on trays. You can carry your tray outside into a nice little garden. They also charge extra for internet. The neighborhood around the Hotel I found very nice. A local area with plenty of places to buy fresh food at markets or buy at restaurants and bars. The prices are much better then when you are in the center of Paris. If you have the chip and pin in your credit card you can rent bikes by the hour from stations all over the city. I did this for days and it was the perfect way to see the city and get around. For the price this Hotel was incredible!

For some reason, the price is much below the standard in Paris, but the quality is more than satisfactory. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this hotel.

Stayed 15 nights in winter. The room was small but average size by Paris standards. Queen size bed was very comfortable, the room was warm and located on the sixth floor rear. It had lots of light, an open view on the courtyard, and was blissfully quiet (there is construction going on across from the front of the building). Location is a bit out of the way, but close to a metro stop on a line that goes directly to the Champs Elysees. Last not least, the staff (particularly at the reception desk) did everything they could to ensure that my stay was most pleasant.

This hotel is located 2 blks from the metro system and very easy to locate. We spent some time in this general area and found good food and great sites. All within walking distance.
