Negotiation was terrible. The owner cancelled us reservation in the middle our trip and we had to find new hotel. He failed to tell us why. He didn´t speak English and he was very rude to us. Also he robbed us of the price. The rooms was terrible and very old.

Booked in for 4 nights in January, photos we saw on the internet were notting like the room we had, however even though our room was tiny (Room No. 11) it was quite nice. Creative lighting, bathroom looked modern and had a Sony LCD TV. The main down points to our room were: No toilet seat, Shower head kept slipping, part of the skirting board was removed showing abit of rotting wall, part of the floor was warped. But these did not have a major effect on our stay.

Overall the hotel has no lift but you wouldnt expcet that in buildings of this style in paris, the walls were very thin however and you could hear every footstep or if the person in the other room flush the toilet.

Breakfast room was in the bastment and was beautifully decorated, It was 10 euros for 2 coffee's 2 orange juces 2 crossants and 2 rolls so not bad.

Location is good for the price, very close to the metro or we choose to get the bus, No86 to the main centre (louvre area).

Would stay again but may look for a location closer to the centre.

The quality absolutely corresponds to the price you pay, rooms simply equiped with beds, chairs and table, small TV. We had a bathroom as well, it was small but everything clean, towels were changed every day. The pictures of the rooms on their website were taken long time ago I guess, but still you have there everything you may need if you go to Paris for sigthseeing and stay in the hotel just for sleep. Breakfast for 5 euros was good, you get half baguette, big croissant, butter, jam, orange juice and as much coffee or tea you wish. Staff was always friendly, let us leave the luggage in the lobby after check-out.

I love Paris, before everything I have to say that I fell in love with this city!!!!:)I was thinking about Tripadvisor so much during our holiday...It helped me a lot in the decision making. The travellers photos, reviews...But the hotel was disappointing, and I want to share it with everybody...They made me so angry and distraught, so it is complain time!
I booked the hotel 5 months earlier than our trip... I found many hotels on the internet and it was very very hard and annoying to choose. Because I had questions but nobody answered them...I wrote to 3 hotels,but no reaction. Then I phoned, asked...But they didn't understand me, they said they don't speak english.So we decided with my boyfriend to choose this one, because of the red walls :) On their web page, there are red walls on the pics, we really liked that.
We arrived Place Clichy, in a little while found a hotel. I could not believe my eyes...There was scaffold everywhere, and this nylon thing covered all the hotel, there were big machines in front of the hotel...Looked very disappointing. Ok,there was nothing inside, but it was very stressed. We walked inside, tried to explain the hotel manager, that it is his work, to let us know theese things. If the hotel is under construction, he has to let us know. We are students, we collected our money months to months to have few days what is all about JUST US!We wanted theese days to be perfect... But who not:) So the hotel manager was rude and he didn't understand us why are we so enraged...We went up to our room,and opened the window... I don't say nothing, just wach my pics. Luckily we found a near hotel,so we moved :)That was not that clean,but we did not mind after this...Because everything was calculated in advance, how can we get to the places where we wanted to go, we wanted a near hotel. The hotel manager was nice and helpful, and the bed was extremely comfortable.
The Camelia hotel is clean and very small, the wi-fi only works at the hall,and you have to tipe a very very very long code :) It was funny, I had to tipe it 4 times because of the man who worked there did not know how to connect it...So this is my story, I hope it will not happen with you!
