Comfortable room in a very well located hotel in the 9th arrondissement, moments away from the Gare du Nord. While I only stayed one evening on a layover, I would definitely look up the Riviera Hotel on my next visit to Paris. The service was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was small but well stocked with laundered towels. I was truly pleasantly surprised.

The room was small but it was ok. It seemed clean but under the bed it was dusty. The door for the room was hard to open and made a terrible sound. The door for the shower was broken/missing so the bathroom was overflooded after taking a shower.
We didn´t try the breakfast.

The staff was friendly and it was good that the reception was open 24 hours. The hotel was very close to Sacre Coeur. Also close to the hotel was a very nice café with free wifi and friendly staff.

All in all a good stay for the price close to a sight like Sacre Coeur. If you just want to sleep in the hotel and be outside tho whole day it´s really ok.

One cannot expect luxury when paying pauper prices. I understand this concept. This hotel tries to meet expectations, but fails in organization. The beds are by far some of the most comfy out there, and it has a quaint feel to it, but there are other points that stand out that make the overal experience a little soured.

We booked the hotel online, through an agency, Somewhere in cyber space information got lost and we were not booked into what we had originally booked. The clerk handled the situation beautifully, but it was EXTREMELY apparent that the hotel is quite unorganized. Still working a lot with paper trails and an outdated booking system, created a little bit of havoc. In the end they were quite accomadating and gave us our two rooms for the price we paid. It took about 30-40 mins, but we were satisfied by the end.

The Elevator aka- the DEATH TRAP. If you value your life, DO NOT GO IN THE LIFT. It is a very very very small lift. It says that it has a capacity of 4 people. I am by no means a large person, nor are my friends, but when us 4 got in the lift, and the doors shut, I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. You could hear the plaster cracking as it was going up, and it wasn't a faint crack, it sounded like someone was removing plaster with a hammer. The wood paneling (which I think was laminate flooring on the walls) was creaking so loudly that I started to take a panic attack. You are so crammed in there that its hard to even imagine. We were on the 4th floor and I refused to go up that lift again.

The room was small, clean and the bed comfy. A place to lay your head. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want a remote for the tele, you must go downstairs and ask for it. Only one English Channel, BBC World news, channel 50. The breakfast is served in the basement, and it looked quite good. I didn't partake, but from what I saw it was decent.

Soundproofing- Non- existant. I do know that our neighbors had a good night, must have been her honeymoon... they had a good time at night and then again in the morning.... wasn't awkward in the slightest when I ran into her in the hallway lol.

C'est la vie, for the price, you get what you pay for. As my favourite saying goes, Dont have champagne taste on a beer budget, be realistic.

The location is alright... metro station not a far walk, but stil not super close. Sacre Couer is really close, so that was nice.

Would I stay there again... probably not. Was it a perfect place for 1 night? Absolutely.

This hotel is extremely close to the Sacre Coeur. In fact when standing at the entrance to the hotel you can see it. Our room was on the ground floor and the decor was beautiful. The furniture seemed new/renovated and the beds were comfortable. Overall, the room size and decor was great! However, that is about all that was great about our experience. Our bathroom light was a cheap tube light and the first time it went out, one of us was in the middle of taking a shower. Needless to say, it was not fun taking a shower in the dark. We complained to the hotel staff who would not even check it but promised to fix it by that evening. Two nights later it was not fixed and we went out again and again while we were in the bathroom. Finally on our last night one of the staff fixed it. Also, the door was incredibly old and hard to open and close and lock which was extremely annoying. Furthermore, we were in Paris in August and it was really hard to sleep because of the lack of ventilation in this hotel. It was humid and the staff did not provide any sort of ventilation and the room was horribly stuffy. The breakfast that was included was one of the worst I have every experienced and all of the juice and milk was so warm. We would never stay here again and do not advise anyone else to either.
