“Terribe but amazing at the same time!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011 via mobile

Let me just say if you're not adventurous at heart do not stay here. Hotel Luxia was very dirty, the service was pretty bad and the location wasn't the best. However, if you look on the bright side, which is something you should always do in Paris, the hotel has charachter that adds to the experience. Not to mention the hotel is near Moulin Rogue and the Sacre coeur. Also you're only sleeping there and the mattresses aint to bad. So be openminded when staying there!

“good for one or two nights”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

I stayed there for two nights last January. The only thing that really upset me was heating, in our room there was one really big heater and it didn't work, only leading pipes were hot, what means that there was working heating in this building but heaters were broken. Outside it was minus 2 or 3 so at night it was really cold in our room. Nevertheless bathroom was clean, we got clean towels. In the morning we got breakfast, French breakfast so we didn't except to eat much but it was tasty :)

Room Tip: rooms with 2 beds could be warmer, there was no problem with heating

“please do not take your school kids here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

people found this review helpful

just got back from paris after doing a school risk assessment trip on the hotel luxia. I was there as i was organising a school trip and needed to check out the hotel. Please avoid at all costs. I was told by the travel company that this hotel was basic accomadation for a school visit to paris. However this was appualing, it is right to say as an adult and a teacher i felt unsafe and the hotel was shabby and dirty. It looked like a room out of the 60s!. Wallpaper was teared, half painted walls, dirty carpet, toilet would not flush and when asked for help none was provided. The lift was very dodgy and the doors had handles which were about to fall off. I stayed awake most of the night wondering whether someone was going to break into our room! Location is the only thing nice about this hotel. School Teachers please do not get sucked into the fact that this hotel is ideal for pupils. Think about whether you as a parent would like your children to stay on a school trip here?

“Sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite !!”

This July, July 2011 I went on a school trip to Paris and we stayed at the Hotel Luxia. The location of the hotel is pretty good and considering we were going to be there for Bastille day the hotel was in the perfect place. (Though it is situated in a ghetto area of Paris, which could be quite dangerous of an evening). Situated at the foot of the Montmartre it was good for the celebrations.

However, it's sad to say this is the ONLY slightly good thing about Hotel Luxia !!! The photos that the hotel Luxia bosts on its website could be called false advertising. The hotel reception is very small and the staff at the hotel are not very friendly at all !! They certainly don't like school groups. The manager was very rude. We arrived earlier than expected and although the rooms were ready we were not allowed to put our stuff in the rooms. Instead our bags were left in reception where anyone could have easily stolen our things.

The hotel was very 'shabby' looking with dirty carpets ans dates decor, the hotel looked like something from out of the 80's. The rooms and everything in them is either brown or orange, and is very old. The doors to the rooms had handles that were ready to fall off and the locks were not very strong at all ! There is NO safe in any of the rooms either. The wall papper was torn with bits discoloured and looking like there had been a leak down the wall. The hotel room didn't SEEM very dirty, just VERY dated..... except for the Samsung plasma on the wall however, not ALL rooms have one as the hotel boasts on it's website. There are no pictures, no flowers and certainly no breakfeast trays brought to the rooms. The carpet was old and it was best to wear either socks or shoes all the time!!

The beds didn't look dirty, however the covers were wooly and itchy, then you just had a sheet. After arriving back in England I noticed what I thought to be a rash, and it was pretty much all over. After a trip to the doctors it turned out to be BED BUG BITES and I wasn't the only on to suffer! A friend also had the same thing and the doctor prescribed the same cream I had, to make things worse we were in different rooms!

The bathroom was generally ok, though the bath was about 4ft and the tap was on the side meaning you bashed your elbow when using the shower to was your hair! There is no mirror in the rooms and the only mirror is in the bathroom (only one in some rooms) which was too far from a plug (there is only one/ two plugs in a room).

I would urge you not to stay at this DREADFUL hotel, as it was to be honest disgusting. I would advise anyone to pay that little bit extra for the assurance that you won't be the evening meal for the bugs that fester in the beds and probably in the carpets of the hotel.
Do not stay at the Hotel Luxia, you will regret it !!!!

The only creditable things I can say about the hotel is that nothing went missing or was stolen by the staff at the hotel, and breakfast wasn't bad.

If you MUST stay here....
1. Bring some insect repellent
2. Check the mattress before you sleep in the beds at the hotel !
3. Bring you own sheets or a sleeping bag :/
4.Don't forget your own travel mirror
5. EXTENSION LEAD
6. Wear socks/ shoes at all times
7. ............. DON'T STAY HERE !!!!!

“It is liveable, but nothing much besides that.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

We stayed for three nights at this hotel. I was very worried before I got there because of all the bad reviews, and I have to say most people on here do have a point. However, it is liveable.

The reception area is quite nice, but once you go up the stairs the place is old and filthy. When we got there dirty laundry was lying in the stairs, and a construction work was going on on one floor with dust and tools everywhere. When we got in to our room it matched the stairs, it was old and worn. The sheets however were clean and washed, and so where the towels. The covers (more like blankets...) were worn, but also seemed clean.

The door was a bit difficult to lock, but we Could lock it. There was a small bathtub instead of a shower, but there was no shower curtain or drain on the floor so whenever we showered the floors turned into a lake. There was a perfectly nice TV in the room, but no remote. The walls are Very thin, you can pretty much hear everything that's going on. Also, as the building is very old, pretty much everything in there squeeks and make noises, and sometimes it almost sounds like the whole place is going to collapse. At night though, it's sufficiently quiet.

The staff can be rude, but not necessarily. One of the waitresses is particularly grumpy, I heard one guest who dared to ask for milk in her coffee without realizing that the waitress was already holding the milk in her hands. The waitress gave the guest the most rude look I have ever seen and slammed the milk jug on the table. It was bizarre, like something from a movie. I didn't see any of the other staff act badly the few days I was there, but they weren't exactly service minded either.

The breakfast is nothing special but perfectly alright, like people on here have said: you get one baguette and one croissant with nutella or jelly, and some butter. You also get coffee (or chocolate) and juice.

I do give this hotel 2 out of 5 since a.) it is very close to the metro station and Sacre Coeur, and b.) it is liveable and if you have a sense of humour (and don't plan on staying at the hotel room for anything other than sleeping) the condition of the hotel is actually a bit funny. At least me and my boyfriend laughed about it.

Room Tip: Try to avoid any of the rooms on the ground floor, especially room number 4. If you are a light slee...
