“Very nice. Shame about the wifi.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are tiny, but it's Paris, so you expect that. Stylish and fun with mostly friendly and helpful staff (there was one guy who was a bit surly, but everyone else was great).
We had a deal that included breakfast, which was good. We did try taking the sauna, but it's on a very low setting, with no way to adjust the temperature. So, we'd recommend asking the staff to make it hotter, an hour or so in advance.
The one problem was with the hotel wifi, or rather with their connection to the internet. The wifi signal was fine, but the internet connection was often extremely slow, and quite frequently died altogether. This was our only real problem with Le General, but unfortunately I really need a good internet connection for my work.

“Hip, with some nice touches”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Hip hotel, with some nice touches like l'Occitaine bath products, apples, and a Nespresso machine in each room. Yes the rooms are tiny and overpriced, but this is Paris afterall! Recommend saving a few Euros by taking breakfast at one of the nearby brasseries or patisseries.

“Charming boutique hotel, exceptional staff - a gem of a find!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel on our first trip to Paris and counted ourselves lucky to have found it. The hotel itself was in a convenient area with shops, restaurants and a good range of transport. The room was quirky (in a lovely charming way), comfortable and clean with an espresso machine and a lovely little balcony. Only slight criticism is that the wi-fi signal was quite patchy but that wasn't a huge problem. The staff in the hotel were absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough for us - we really felt it was customer service at its very best. All the staff are fluent in English which made things very simple for us. Breakfast wise, we didn't eat in the hotel but we did see that there was quite a good spread laid out in the mornings which would be good value for money. All in all, very impressed and would recommend for anyone staying in Paris. Great job guys! Keep it up!! Thank you for a most enjoyable stay!!

“Good business hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

I've stayed here on several business trips and have found this hotel to be comfortable, if a little cramped. It is in a convenient location and if I were to stay here for a weekend trip to Paris I would be happy.

“In center of Paris”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

Staff is friendly and relaxed. Room is very small but sufficient for a 4 day stay. Bed is good. Safety deposit box in closet. Bathroom (shower only) is good. Hygiene is very good. General hotel design is very nice.
Excellent breakfast, even with a choice in food supplements!
Close to subway stations, taxi stand,restaurants and bars.
Conclusion: good choice for a short visit to Paris.
