I see a lot of the recent reviews, and recognised some of the stories about the “quirks” we had also experienced. I have travelled to Paris before, and know the challenge of finding decent accommodation for a reasonable price. Residence Pelican was OK, but I would look elsewhere if I was returning to Paris. Having said that the family and... More

In my opinion this place charges 4-5 star rates but delivers 2.5 star service. The on-line video and previous good reviews must be fake!! This place ruined my trip of a lifetime to Paris...I cried myself to sleep on more than one occasion! It was soo bad!! We stayed in both the Romantic and the Cosy suites. If i hadn't... More

We travelled to Paris and stayed at the Residence Pelican in the Penthouse Suite for 12 nights - September 2011. I was travelling with my parents (in their 70s and my girlfriend). I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed staying in the Penthouse. As there are no elevators getting to the Penthouse was a bit of a hike... More

We liked our stay very much. Everything was very comfortable, the staff were friendly, helpful and spoke English well. The apartement was cosy and well-equipped. Wi-fi, some books&travel guides, good TV-set made our stay even more satisfying. But there were 2 problems: the sofas were not comfortable and the shower did not work, but we solved the last one. The... More

We rented the penthouse for three nights in July 2011. The area was very spacious. I found the apartment clean, anticipated some wear and tear on furniture, but not significant as previous comments. Fred was there when we arrived, helped bring suitcases up. The staircase is narrow and steep, I would caution people with physical limitations to avoid this rental.... More

I am a bit surprised to see some of the negative reviews on this property. We stayed for seven nights and although it wasn't 5-star perfection it was lovely. A few things to mention-- A) It is down a small street that one could mistake for an alley; however we came to find that this "alleyway" had a number of... More

My friend and I stayed in the penthouse at Résidence Pélican for the entire month of April, and we are very satisfied with our stay. Some negative reviews are puzzling, but I suppose it depends on one's expectations and the length of your stay. We thought of it as staying at a friend's apartment for a month; when you stay... More

We picked this because of the good reviews on trip advisor and we didn't want to stay at a big anonymous hotel. Unfortunately we didn't see the poor reviews until our return. I should start with the positive- it is in an excellent location and Fred was polite and helpful. Unfortunately that in my opinion does not make up for... More

The apartment I rented was so cool, with Bali style decor and very cozy. I felt immediately comfortable and at home here. The location is perfect for anyone interested in being in the very heart of the city and the metro is literally a two minute walk away. The apartment building is less than a block to the Louvre grounds... More
