“Non, non, non!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked this hotel despite the reviews... what a big mistake!
The room we were allocated (40) was an absolute tip. It appeared that a blind axe muderer had chased a victim around, missing frequently, and making holes in the wall. The bedding was frayed and tatty, the room was filthy, the bath had 'bits' in (I didn't investigate further).
I went straight to reception and was given no arguement... instead I was told room 54 was available. I went to see it (it was a slight improvement) and told my wife. Together we went up to the new room, only to be met by the receptionist shouting "I told you to stay in your room until I came to get you!". We made it plain that we weren't staying in that hole a moment longer than we had to.
The new room was tatty, peeling paintwork, mould around the bath, the carpet was covered in hair, the sink unit had random holes drilled in it, the bathroom ceiling was a sheet of torn plastic film inexpertly patched with gaffer tape. The shower distributed 65% of its water into the bath... the other 35% sprayed onto the light fittings and extractor (which didn't work). There is no bar. The pillows are bags of foam fragments. There is no indication as to where the 'courtyard' might be... we saw no trace.
This is NOT a three star hotel, it is an indigent's doss house. You have been warned.

“Better than reviews”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

Read some negative reviews on this hotel but we found it good for the price. The location was great. Breakfast good. Easy walk down the hill to the centre of Paris with the metro only a 2 min walk away at Liege. Close to some good restaurants at Place Clichy. Friendly reception staff who gave us good advice and helped us to sort out a problem we had with our airport transfer arrangements. We had 2 rooms - one double on the 1st floor with access to a garden sitting area and the other on the 5th floor with access to a balcony. Tiny lift so usually used the spiral stairs to get to the rooms. Overall, good hotel.

“TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD ONLY BE A 2 STAR HOTEL”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed here some years ago on business and it was better value then but this time was a huge disappointment. A tiny room, very poorly appointed, dirty carpet, cracked tiles and broken hairdryer in the bathroom. Requested a change of room next day which was very little different.

A complete rip-off at 130 euros inc breakfast.

Room Tip: Don't go there
