Disliked: Staff & service
We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email.
Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Disliked: Cleanliness
No air conditioner, tv didn’t work so was unable to watch Olympics, rooms were hot and stuffy. Roof in the bathroom started leaking like a waterfall. Whole stay was just uncomfortable.
The ease of booking and check in was very good. Room was clean and comfortable. As I was travellng by train, it access was excellent - just accross the road. Breakfast was more good. All together a very pleasant and affordable stay. Would receommend highly for the cost concious traveller.

Ok for a stop over, managed to find a lovely bar nearby, the atmosphere in the hotel bar was not for us. If you have mobility problems check your room is not in the area where there are flights of stairs & no lift.

Overnight stay. Free parking. Front of house guy was great.
The hotel is central, my room was quiet, very basic and clean. The bedding was thin and I really got cold in the night. Parking is secure. Good for the cheap price.
Excellent hotel, fantastic location near several metro lines and the rer for cdg Airport. Room much bigger than most Paris hotel rooms, bed very comfy. Service was excellent, the person at reception could not have been more helpful. Will definitely go back.
Chambre avec odeur de cendrier !!! Horrible mes affaires puaient le tabac , il est évident que cette chambre a héberger un fumeur sur une longue durée imprégné dans les mur , les toilettes !! Atroce vraiment. MAIS Vraiment a vomir !!!! Évidemment rien n'a été fait pour essayer d'enlever l'odeur durant cette semaine !!
Je suis chef d'entreprise!
Des gens squattes le hall la nuit . Dorment sur des fauteuils avec des odeurs répugnantes. Regard agressif car oui je partais à 5 heure travailler ! Et donc je les gênait... on marche sur la tête ! Vous ne pouvez pas ouvrir les fenêtres le soir car il y a constamment des odeurs de cannabis . ..
Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe dans cet hôtel mais ç'est inadmissible.
Je suis venu a plusieurs reprise depuis 2021 . Mais là je ne viendrai plus car ça a bien changé !! Ils ont choisis leur clientèle apparemment.... La réception vous envoies des sms avec une faute à chaque mots .. pathétique . A fuir clairement !
Personnel très gentil et à l'écoute. La planche apéro était très bonne ainsi que le petit déjeuner qui était parfait. Le seul petit bémol concerne le ménage de la chambre(pas mal de poussières) et le bruit dans le couloir la nuit. Nous reviendrons merci
Chambre simple et très calme côté Gare.
Salle de bain très simple et petite comprenant un lavabo, un WC et une petite douche..
La douche devrai avoir un rideau.
Sinon très bien tenu.
Seul problème manque un ascenseur quand on est chargé.
