“Good, but bland”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

This is a corporate hotel in a business/residential area of Paris - great if that's what you need, but not really good for tourism although it is well place for the Metro system. The hotel is Taiwanese owned and has a distinctly Asian feel in terms of style and decor. The public areas are spacious and well decorated if somewhat bland, and the bedrooms are a very good size and comfortable.

The meeting facilities are good. The rooms are pleasant and the coffee and refreshments are excellent. Our package included free internet which was very reliable.

Food is not so good. The breakfast was poor with not much choice, and lunch in the Chinese restaurant was not high standard.

Overall rated very good based on the standard of accommodation, but let down by the food.

“Nice rooms, crowded lobby, poor breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Recently I have taken up on staying in the Evergreen Laurel in Levallois, due to its proximity to the office. So I travel on business, 3 nights every week (by the time of writing spent a total of 15 night there since December 2011). We are on a corporate rate so I cannot advise you about pricing to the general public.

The hotel is conveniently located at Place Pompidou - lots of nice restaurants nearby (La Chantier, Le Canelle, Nina Sushi, Le Sans Souci) and a nice supermarket just outside the hotel. The metro station (Pont de Levallois - Becon) is only a minute away (line 3), so it is easily accessible from downtown (directly on M3 you find Opera, Bourse, Republique). Also, there is a typicall Parisienne bakery (boulangerie patisserie) just around the corner from the hotel.

The rooms are very spacious (especially for Parisian standards) with double beds, a chic chaise longue (that long, comfy chair with armrests), strong wireless Wifi.

The breakfast is a bit of a disappointment - served in the big attrium, in a buffet style. It always smells like oil and eggs (there is a selection of warm food - rice, steamed vegetables, fries, and the usual ugly little sausage and an omelett that is very mushy and watery). The coffee is very weak, the fruit juice looks like it is pressed, but trust me it's not. My advice: do not get the breakfast option, but walk 50 meters to the bakery (they serve coffee, too) or just opposite the bakery, Sans Souci (also serves lunch), where they have croissants, coffee, and real pressed OJ, too. French hotels usually charge 17 - 25 eur for breakfast, don't fall for this. Treat yourself to a real French breakfast.

The service at the reception is usually quick, but apart from a few exceptions (there is a nice American guy working there) they do not seem to be thrilled to have you staying there.

I always set the "Do not disturb" sign on my door, but sometimes it is ignored - and they come in, tuck the duvet under the mattress, change the towels, mess (rearrange) my things in the bathroom.

Being a Chinese hotel chain the hotel is frequented by Asian tourists and looks like the airline crews are staying here, too. Sometimes they have private functions (e.g. wedding receptions) in the atrium, and that is when things get noisy. The other night they had the karaoke on, and my colleague in a room on the 2nd floor overlooking the atrium could not sleep.

Room Tip: Make sure you get a room overlooking the Place Pompidou - and not overlooking the backstreet behind...

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

The room we stayed in was not clean at all. It smelt like smoke even on a non-smoking floor. There was a stain that looked like faeces at the side of the flush button. The toilet was extremely difficult to flush. The bathroom lock required a lot of strength to operate. Even the toilets at the lobby were cleaner than the one in our room. The only reason why we didn't change the room was because we had another room next to it. There is a nosing (like a "hump") below the door so it can be a pain to drag your luggage in and out of the room. The location of the ice machine was not stated in the sparse hotel directory and we had to ask the reception where it was before that. However, one of the staff was helpful in leading me to the ice machine when I tried to find it.

The breakfast was like eating on Fear Factor. The scrambled eggs tasted powdery. I took a glass that smelt like bleach. One of the local staff that checked our breakfast coupons was rude and spoke very bad English. The only good part was that they served more Asian food like porridge, which made it slightly more homely.

The hotel is located quite far away from the main attractions in Paris. However, it is a 5 minutes walk away from the Metro station, Pont de Levallois-Becon, which is right at the end of Line 3. You'll always have seats on the metro though, which makes your long ride to the attractions more comfortable.

“Ordinary but good location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

This hotel had all the required facillities but nothing about it was particularly special. The room was satisfactory as was the bed. Breakfast was ordinary - quantity and quality was adequate, but again, nothing memorable. Staff attitude matched the hotel - provided the necessities but with little enthusiam. I felt the hotel was overpriced. Overall, disappointing.
It did have one advantage and that was location. Though several kilometers from the centre of Paris, a metro line was two minutes walk. Also, outside the hotel were restaurants, cafes, a small but well stocked supermarket and a salad bar.

“Good for a short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

It is a small average hotel but corridor way too long especially if you happened to get a room in between the two lift lobbies. It was a hassle having to drag the luggage all the way to and fro downstairs, as well as going down for breakfast.
Nothing special about the breakfast except they do serve porridge, a change for the Asian guests especially after eating days of bread and cheese and ham. However the serving area is a little small and gets crowded if there's a breakfast crowd.
Convenient as it is located next to a Metro stop - direct line into town.
Room is average and heater don't seems to work strong. Bath water changes temperature on and off.
But I must thank the staff for being honest and returning my purse of which it had more than 1K Euros and my credit card when I dropped it at the breakfast area.
However, another friend of mine did not manage to claim back his box of macarons when he left it in the fridge...
