Stayed at Citea studio in sep
2011 for 3 nights, everything was good such as: prices, service etc.. The guy on reception called John he is very helpful and well known English! There are two near supermarkets in the area and also 3 Halal shops selling kebabs etc for €5 a meal. Can also walk to the river which about 7-10 minutes walk. Metro station only 3 minutes walk...... The only disadvantage is will take you about an hour to get to Paris City bec metro stop on every station + you have to change to different line. Airport about an hour to hour and 15 minutes from Alfort metro station... Area can be risky at night time after 11pm and this could be at anywhere in the world.. Finally the only thing I did not like on my room is the carpet because it was so dirty even after clean, so I did wear a slippers all the time....

Stayed here for 3 nights in April 2011 and for 66 euros a night for 4 of us you really can't complain as room was clean and in working order but crikey, it is so dated and really needs sorting out. We stayed here as we'd been to Disneyland Paris and had the car and it wasn't too far to drive and offered parking at 10 euros a night in a secure underground carpark that is used by people in the apartment across the road. Got the feeling that a lot of business people stay here for the working week as it was much quieter at the weekend. Room was fine for all 4 of us beds ok but the kitchen was very strange with some sort of boiler or water tank in it!! was a bit worried from a health and safety point of view but seemed fine. There was a boulangerie across the road and a Casino supermarket so breakfast was easy (and far cheaper than paying to have it in the hote)
Everything was clean and the maids cleaned the room and made the beds every day. Metro was a 5 minute walk and it was about 15-20 mins into the centre. Would recommend to anyone with a car but if not, then stay closer in.

A two night stay in a supposedly business orientated hotel. On arrival had terrible reception service very rude and unhelpful. Check-in is 2pm and once settled in room at 2.30 someone came to do a cleaning check - not very organised! Had to ask for every single piece of information re services i.e nothing was explained upon arrival, I got to my room and had to go all the way back down to reception for internet access codes etc.. Besides the awful service, the rooms were a good size and there is a supermarket 2 minutes away The metro is not far away, but quite far from central Paris.

This was my third trip to Paris; I wanted an affordable room with a kitchen and because some other Citea hotels nearer to the city centre did not have vacancies I settled on this one.

I should have asked for a quiet room (Est-ce que vous avez une chambre calme?) but I did not, so I got a room with a view: 501, facing a busy street. But I was lucky. It was not so hot that I couldn’t close the window, and with the window closed, noise level was bearable.

Compared with my previous two rooms (the first one near Gare de Nord and the second one near Porte de Clignancourt), this one was a lot bigger. It was showing signs of an old age, but it was still in a good shape. It had a TV which I hardly used, a fridge I could do without this time but I wanted to check how the kitchen was equipped when I come back with my wife for a longer stay and a shower with a pressure that could be better. The pool seemed clean, I did not use it, but a family of four did.

The only real problem that I had with this hotel is the fact that it is rather far away from the city centre. Yes, it is less than 5 minutes from a metro stop (line 8 - Ecole Veterinaire) but I spent 40 minutes, one metro change included, to come to a site in the centre. Next time I will try a hotel of the same chain but nearer the centre (Philippe Auguste) or nearer the RER (La Defense or Torcy).
