We booked two nights at Villa Luxembourg. The room was advertised as a leisure room with a
queen bed, at a rate that was not exactly cheap: $265 per night.

When we arrived, the room was tidy but the upholstery and bedspread were covered in stains. More importantly,
the bed was not an actual bed: It was a fold-out cot with a thin mattress through which the springs felt like
sharp rods--impossible to sleep on. The room seemed to be the sitting-room portion of a suite, rather than an
actual bedroom (it was connected to the neighboring room). After sitting on the bed when we first checked in,
we requested to be moved to a room with an actual bed. The management told us they had no other rooms available.
They promised to move us to a room with an actual bed the next day.

When we returned that evening, they had indeed moved our bags to a room with an actual bed, but this new room had
foot-wide strips of paint peeling from the ceiling and an inch-wide swath of black mold around the tub. The
upholstery and bedspread were as filthy as in the first room. It was utterly disgusting. We could not sleep.

Finally, the hotel was supposed to have wireless Internet access, which it did the first day...but not the second.
Other guests were equally frustrated. It could easily have been fixed by rebooting the wireless router, since
the front desk still had an Internet connection, but the manager would not let me do it.

I have travelled extensively abroad in at least 25 countries, and I've stayed in places ranging from beach motels
in Indonesia and low-rent motels on Indian reservations to Conrad and Four Seasons properties. But never have I
experienced anything quite like this: a fleabag hotel claiming to be a 3-star property.

I recognize that our contract specified that the reservation was not refundable, but a contract works both ways:
Villa Luxembourg was supposed to provide a habitable, reasonably sanitary room with a queen-size bed, at a 3-star
level of comfort, which they did not even approximate. Not even the bed.

We were scheduled to spend another night there, booked through a different firm. We cancelled the booking, but the
hotel insisted on billing us anyway. I'm now trying to dispute the charge.

Wonderful position metro 4e6 And rer B very close to the hotel. First room with hanging light in bath from the celiing out of their place near shower, other exposed electrical wires behind the door, tons of dust behind beds, mud in the bath, basin ruined, moquette detached from floor, And dome more minors .......... After room changed things went partially better
definitely you pay for position nothing more

I stayed in this hotel honestly in 2006 and what I can say is that this hotel is in the heart of Paris and close to metro stations 10 minutes walk, I can say also that it is best cost for best rooms and service.

DID NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL: On the Villa Luxembourg website, they have a special through 12/2011 called "Long Stay" package. This package provides 6 nights for the price of 5 nights. I sent an email requesting how much a 7th night would cost, and received a response that the "Long Stay" was no longer available and that I should check the website for more information. A link was provided in this email, which took me to the website that still indicated that "Long Stay" was available. I replied to the hotel that the website continued to list the "Long Stay" as an available package. It's been two weeks, and I've yet to receive a reply to my second email. This is very poor service, in addition to implying a bait-and-switch situation. Needless to say, I will not be staying at the Villa Luxembourg when I visit Paris.
