I had to stay at this hotel while traveling on business in Paris. This hotel has a nice conference center on the 2nd floor, but the hotel is not that great.

First, it was difficult to find the entrance to the hotel. It is located at a train station and the entrance is hidden as it looks just like the windows next to it. After 10 minutes I finally found it and encountered the small staircase I had to carry my bag up before reaching the very small elevator to the 3rd floor. At check-in, no one really spoke English, but we figured thing out and I went to find my room. The hotel hallways were black, red and gold. I felt like I was in a bad adult film. That aside, I found my room which was just large enough for the Queen size bed and my suitcase (barely). There was a TV that worked fine and a small desk area. The room wasn’t dirty but it really wasn’t clean either. The carpet and walls were stained or scuffed and the tile was broken in the bathroom. The toilet did not flush well either. When I requested a different room or an upgrade I was willing to pay for, I was told they are fully booked and had nothing available.

I made the best of it, until the trains started arriving and departing below the hotel. The room vibrated and shook every time the trains moved. This went on until after midnight and started again early in the AM. The wake up call I requested 2 nights never came. Breakfast was available on the 2nd floor – but was clearly not operated by Best Western. It was a simple continental breakfast.

I was seriously disappointed in my experience at this hotel.

We stayed for two nights in early June in a twin room. We paid roughly 80 euros a night which is not bad for a 3 star in Paris. The room was of a fair size and nicely air conditioned. The room was clean and there was ample towels etc.

The reception staff were helpful and friendly.

The only drawback was that there was some work going on on the forecourt outside the hotel which started at 7am but the sign said this was due to finish mid June.

Would stay here again on next visit to Paris.

The location was decent, right across the street from the Metro and Indiana Cafe. The room was a nice size with a comfy bed. The staff was typical French, rude! No smiles, nothing. It is right next to their train station and had contstruction in front so not easily noticable. I would stay here again! The bath was a nice size and clean. However, no shower curtain which I found strange and dangerously slippery exiting the tub. So careful! If you thinking about it, I'd say go for it.

We had been staying in a nearby hotel which proved to be an absolute disaster. We decided to look around the area for another better hotel - we wanted to be close to the station as we were going on the Eurostar to London. We discovered this gem hidden behind some construction work at the Gare D'l Est. The rooms were small by USA standards but well equipped with a mini bar, comfortable beds, airconditioning. The staff were were very helpful and friendly - what a change from our previous hotel. We decided to pay the 10 Euros for the buffet breakfast and were not dissapointed as it was great.
I would definately recommend this hotel for its price and proximity to the metro and the main railway stations in Paris.
