The hotel is just a few steps from the metro station. We exited through rue La Fayette and it's just in a beautiful and clean area. Lots of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options just around the corner. The staff are incredible and the sheets were very soft. There was some construction going on in the hotel but it didn't affect our stay since it's an upgrade and we spent most of our time walking around Paris and just the night in the hotel.

This property is not 3 star hotel, the lobby is equivalent to the size of a single car parking space, the elevator is the smallest elevator I have ever been on, 3 people with luggage can fit in at best. The corridor is so narrow, less than a meter wide, only one person can walk through at a time. Although it is close to Metro and shopping mall, it is sitting on a major street, you can hear sirens, cars, motorbikes and the underground metro all the way to 11-12pm, afterwhich you can hear your neighbor till 3am through the paper thin wall, then come 6am all the noises from the streets resume. There is no way you are getting any kind of rest here. For the price we paid 300 euro per night, you are getting sth worse than Super 8. Super 8 at lease have a proper lobby and corridor. Our coffee pods was never refilled, no water in the room, did I mention the shampoo, shower gell and hand soap are all the same, literally Just sitting in different bottles with same solution. Seriously, steer clear of this motel and save yourself a vacation.

Good no-nonsense stay in a central location

The hotel was a good, basic, comfortable stay in a central location. The hotel is being renovated, so the central stairway was being worked on and unavailable during many periods during our stay. Also, one of our rooms smelled strongly of fresh paint when we arrived. However, those are temporary problems, and the condition in the hotel will probably continue to improve with the renovation. The air conditioner in both of our rooms worked very well. The bathrooms were a nice size. The breakfast is in a small room on the second floor. We did not opt to include it because it did not look impressive, and there are so many options around the hotel. The front desk staff were all extremely friendly and responsive. However unlike a larger hotel, it felt limited what services they could provide. For example, we asked about a car service to the airport, and they could only suggest a cab stand or bus service.

This hotel is very close and walking distance to the Galeries Lafayette, other shopping stores and restaurants. The only thing that was inconvenient for guests was undergoing renovations, construction in a hotel can be very inconvenient due to noise, dust, limited access to amenities, and overall disruption. The elevator wasn’t working so we had to take the stairs all the way to 4th floor. It was tiring after walking 15k miles exploring the city. Thankfully the AC was working perfectly.

We were not informed that the property was under construction when we booked it. The stairs were constantly blocked by painters and the paint fumes were strong even in our room. The air conditioning in our room was broken and instead we had a fan which did nothing for the extreme heat. The elevator is TINY and can fit maximum 3 people squished like sardines. But the painters didn’t want to let us pass them on the stairs so it was a constant battle. For one day, the elevator broke down and people were carrying their luggage up and down all the stairs themselves. We were on the 5th floor, so running up and down wasn’t easy…especially for the two people over 70 we were traveling with. The front desk staff was very nice and great at giving us directions and recommendations, but they never acknowledged the construction or the broken elevator. On one occasion, we asked the front desk if the painters were still blocking the stairs because we had occasions where we got three flights up and the painters refused to let us pass and we had to come all the way back down (we had more people in our group than could fit in the elevator, so some of us always had to take the stairs), and the front staff seemed completely unaware of the painters. Super disappointing.

The hotel was very close to several restaurants, shopping and the train station. The hotel is currently going through major renovations and so the hotel was in great disorder. From heavy painting odors in the hallways, air conditioning did not work the entire time we were there. I chose this place because of its reviews and I would never stay at this hotel again. Don’t let the reviews make you think this is a nice hotel because it’s not!
