Paris Trip

I have never had a room so small. The room measured 7 feet wide by 12 feet long. We barely had room for our luggage. This is ... no exageration. We had to put a trash can under a night stand and the chair in the bathroom so we would have room for our 2 bags and were barely able to move around each other. Other than that the room was clean and the staff were friendly.

Great view and close to the train

We arrived early, and they checked us in. I think they put us in a smaller room though. Across the street from Gare de L'est ... and so convenient. Great breakfast (not included), and tons of brochures/maps for you.

Excellent!!! Great value for money

Excelent value for money, clean & decent rooms (a bit small), good service and great location if you plan to use the metro. ... It was muuuch better than many 4 star hotels in Europe (and it is registered as a 3 star). No complains at all. I will come back for sure

Watch your money !!!

We stayed there for a 7 nights.Room was very small with just coffee maker and hair dryer no iron for the clothes.Service was ... OK however they need learn how to knock to the door.They just want to get in without knocking first.The worse part was that 200$ was missing from the safe after talking to manager(that was maybe 24 years old) he said that there is only one thing that he can do for us witch is calling the police that was 400 ft away from hotel. Not a I`m sorry or here it`s a free breakfast or something like that.Will not go to the same hotel ever!For more deatels you can e mail me at [@]

Great Location to Subway, Hotel Employees were very friendly and spoke english. Rooms are definately small(very small but we ... were out and about most of the time so we only needed a place to rest.

I'd Recommend Staying Here

I just got back from 10 days in Paris and stayed at this hotel and would highly recommend it. While I didn't spend much ... time in and around the neighborhood, I had easy subway access to other parts of Paris. I had read some other comments about noise because the hotel sits directly across the street from the Gare d'Est train station, but I didn't have any problems with noise and slept like a baby. The hotel didn't have the charm of the other, smaller hotels I'd stayed at in Paris, but my room was spacious, similar to American hotel rooms It was highly functional hotel. The staff was very helpful and very friendly and all spoke English. It is a bargain for its price. My main complaint was that I didn't get my wake-up call (the only one I made) on my last day, which put me in some jeopardy of missing my plane, but I woke up on my own early enough to get to the airport. And one other complaint was that instead of getting a room with one double-bed, I was in a room with two twin beds. I would highly recommend this hotel.

My Experience in Paris

The hotel is in a great location. I enjoyed that it was not right in the middle of all the tourist areas but it was close ... enough to get everywhere. I do not recommend walking to the tourist part such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame because you'll do enough walking at walking at each location. Take the Metro everywhere, it's fast and simple. The hotel was clean and employees were friendly. They have happy hour a few hours a day. Everyone speaks English. There are restaurants, bakeries, and markets around the hotel. I was in Paris 5 days and was able to go to visit all the tourist areas including Versailles. Everything is pretty close to each other. For example the Louvre is next to the Osay, Jardin De Tuleries, Place De La Concord and Madeline. The only place that was about 45 minutes away(but worth it) was Chateau Versaille. On the way to Versaille you can see the mini statue of liberty along the river. Everything is pretty expensice in Paris so I thought the price is pretty reasonable.

Good value for money

The rooms are very clean and modern, but very much on the small side! The hotel staff were very friendly - there was a cot in ... our room when we arrived late at night, the receptionist quickly arranged for the barman to move it as there were no other staff available! They were more than happy to give us directions several times and could not have been more helpful. We stayed 4 nights and used the open top bus to get around as it was our first visit to Paris. The stop is just around the corner from the entrance, which was very handy. However, the area around the hotel was not very appealing at night, but the Metro stop is literally at the front door. Also loved the fact that there were foreign sockets built in - no need for travel adapters - genius!!

the bad

gg Aug 17, 2009

pre paid for two rooms (one adult and one child in each room) but had to stay without AC(in one room)for three nights even ... after complaining/requesting at reception over and over. Very disappointed. I chose this hotel due to the location because train comes from Zurich to Paris at Gare D L est station.

Gare De L'Est

France is just OK, nothing special Aug 14, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

This hotel was decent, but by American standards, it was less than adequate. The hotel had some positives. It had a staff ... that spoke english and were friendly. The location was superb; it had two train stations nearby: Gare De L'est (which takes you to eastern Europe), and it had Gare De Nord (which takes you to northern Europe). The subway access was right in front of the hotel, and the subway in Paris is cheap and is great transportation. However, the restaurant was very tight like all of Europe. Real estate is scarce. Rooms are very small and have terrible A/C (Parisians, like most non-USA countries, don't believe in A/C) My wife and I had to ask for 3 different rooms because their rooms had terrible air compressors that wouldn't work. The last room we stayed in had decent A/C but very sub-par compared to the US standards. The elevators smelled, and would close after 2 seconds. (there were no sensors, so if there was more than one person getting in, forget it and take the next one, or you'll get smushed and it hurts.) They had no hotel restaurant only some breakfast buffet area. The breakfast wasn't very good, and there food wasn't hot, and drinks were not cold (like most of Paris), the only food you could eat was through room service(which included raw ham and beef, and just not very appetizing. Although, if from Paris, you might like that nastiness). The restaurants around the hotel were $$$$$$ as well. Basically, get ready to spend high dollar for food that is terrible. Bread and pastries in those restaurants were excellent, however. Also, the bed is very hard in the hotel room, unless you enjoy sleeping on rock hard beds, I don't recommend sleeping on them. All in all the hotel, was decent for what we paid and had great proximity to getting around the city. However, after visiting the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc........the people smell/smoke a lot, the food sucks (unless you're French), they have no A/C anywhere and I just don't think I will ever go back to France.

Great location, great price!

This hotel was in an excellent location! It is very close to the train station, and right in front of the metro line. Also, ... since the hotel was newly renovated, the rooms were spotless. The hotel had a modern look, and overall, I would highly recomend this hotel. Next time I visit Paris, I will definitly stay here again!

Great location

The location of this hotel allowed us to walk or catch the metro to all the sight in the city. there were a wide variety of ... restaurants in the area, so meals were always available. The staff was great--warn and helpful.

Nice Place To Stay

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. Gotta admit that the rooms look much bigger on the website, but in true reality they're ... very small. Very good location for the train system which allowed for us to be able to go pretty much all over PARIS!!! Breakfast at this hotel was not worth the money paid for. But overall I would have to say that it was ok. Not too bad, but not great!!

Good choice!!

The rooms are small but everything is small in Paris and the price "the best". The rooms were clean, front desk was very ... helpful on everything. I did not expend much time on the hotel, only nights. You got everything you need around: restaurants, pharmacies, metro station (tickets), taxis, restaurants, banks. You are middle of everything (10 to 20 minutes on metro to any place) We got three rooms, we got a A/C problem with one of the rooms but they sent somebody right away. I will be back next time.

GREAT!!!!!

The hotel was great! We went to Paris to travel around the city and it was great that the Metro station was just a short walk ... away. The staff was very helpful and spoke great english. The rooms were a bit small but nothing that makes it bad. We loved the stay the rooms were very quiet to the outside world.

Very Pleased

The hotel was recently renovated, and had great style. The location couldn't be beaten as it was directly across from a ... major train/metro/bus stop. It was very easy to get everywhere we wanted. The room was very neat and clean. Very happy with the service. We had a great view from the 8th floor that included Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur.

Great stay!

Stayed at the hotel for four nights. As mentioned by others, easy trip to CDG airport. I didn't see anything wrong with the ... location: 15-20 min walk to the Seine/ center city. Rooms were clean, didn't spend much time in the room, so the small size didn't bother us. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was 15 euro, but who would eat at the hotel (expensive services are a given at any hotel) when you're in Paris? Great value for the money paid.

"Tres bon" stay

We really liked the hotel, although the rooms were very small. They cleaned the rooms everyday, the staff was very helpful. I ... probably would have liked it better if breakfast was included. As such, the breakfast that they did offer was very expensive, and we chose not too eat at the hotel. We didn't think it was noisy at all. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much.
