“Average hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I just wanted a decent hotel for a Paris tour. Everything about this hotel is average: rooms are not very clean, but one can't call them dirty neither. The bathroom was quite small, but what is large in Paris? A renovation couldn't harm. The staff was nice.
It is pretty well located, subway and train stations are minutes away.
If you intend to spend most of your day visiting and don't intend to spend more then a week i strongly recommend it.

“Remember what you're paying for, and this is just perfect!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010
5
people found this review helpful

Remember... you're paying for a room, a private bathroom and a clean environment to sleep in. In that case, this is just perfect.
Location is pretty central, short walk to Gare de Lyon, Place de la Bastille (Metro: Bastille), Gare Austerlitz (Trains out to Chateau Versailles). Can even walk to Marais in about 10-15 minutes. So it's just a stones throw away, and you're paying about half of what people are paying in the Marais.
There are no services that come with the room. They clean the room, and that's that. The paint in the bathroom was peeling in the room I stayed in, but I was in the room only to sleep. Who cares about the paint in the bathroom in Paris?
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, I had a private bathroom. My biggest issue was that the walls were paper thin and I could hear the people in the next room when they were just having a regular conversation.
They do offer breakfast at 12Euros per day, but I fared much better and with lots of variety during my walks in the mornings. When in Paris, make sure to try out different cafes etc.
The people at the front desk are friendly and helpful with any questions, but they do not have any room service.
I would recommend this to anybody who's going to Paris, and wants to see the town rather than spend too much time in the hotel.

“All we needed in a hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010
5
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 2 nights booked at the last minute for a weekend break in Paris. The hotel was very easy to get to, being half way between Bastille and Gare de Lyon and we checked in without any fuss.

Room was a decent size (you could walk around the bed and everything!) bed comfortable and it was clean. The bathroom was pretty standard as well, only criticism being that the door handle kept falling off and the door didn't shut fully (probably lucky considering the handle). We didn't report this to management. Oh and the shower wasn't attached to the wall, so you have to hold it (though had screws in wall as if it used to be?). Walls were a tad thin, and if I spoke French, could have understood the conversation next door.

Location is quite good, Bastille is fun and there's two lively markets nearby on Tuesdays and Sundays which we enjoyed. It's a slight walk to town (maybe 20-30 min), but there are plently of buses and trains if your not being cheapskates like us.

Hotel staff were all helpful, spoke good english to make up for my poor french and were happy to look after our bags after we'd checked out before our evening train. Overall, we just needed somewhere to sleep wash etc and Hotel Alexandrie was perfect for this. It was clean, comfortable, in a good location and with friendly staff at reasonable rates.

“Unremarkable but servicable if all the nice Paris hotels are full”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Ok, so we booked this at two weeks notice over new year when there wasn't any availability at nicer boutique hotels in this kind of price range. Also, because it was new year, we ended up paying €440 for three nights which really felt like a lot but at two weeks notice over new year can you really complain about that?

The hotel is on a small side-street that's lined with cheap hotels. I wonder how most of these are booked since they don't show up on the booking engines. It is therefore quiet. Our room was at the back of the hotel and was exceptionally quiet. I slept later than at home. The location is good between the Gare de Lyon and the Bastille with cheap eats within two minutes walk and better places 15 minutes away in Marais.

The comments about the wafer-thin walls are, however, true and anyone walking down the corridor or entering their room next door would rattle round our room like they were there with us.

So, what did we get? The room is a standard size for a Paris hotel room (ie small) and the double bed also felt small. But we fitted in it. The room and bathroom were clean. Curious rusty orange colour painted on the walls that made it feel more enclosed and dull than it actually was. If we'd paid €55-€65 a night I'd have been happy.

The wifi was free and worked perfectly. There was a new LG widescreen TV on the wall with digital TV channels for ghost-free picture quality. Staff were friendly on the front desk but we didn't need them for much.

Interestingly, reviewers here do not seem to take the breakfast. We didn't either. There's a simple explanation for this. It runs from 6am-10.30am. About the time we were getting up. I'd have liked to try it but it just finished too early.

As for recommendations, I'm completely neutral. I'd stay again in these circumstances but would try to find somewhere a bit more characterful for this kind of money first.

“Great location, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2009

person found this review helpful

We arrived Paris by train and left by airplane. The location of the hotel was just great for us : a few minutes walk from the Gare de Lyon where we arrived, and from where we took a bus to the airport. It has plenty of nice restaurants around and is easily accessible by the subway (~5 minutes walk), as several lines pass nearby.

The room was large enough, a tad larger than what Parisian hotels are used to offer. The bathroom was ok as well. All in all, we did not have any issues over our 3 days stay. The air con worked, the Wi Fi worked, the TV worked. It was simply as advertised and a real good value.

We have not tried the breakfast so I cannot comment on this.
