Clean bathroom and comfy beds. Some staff weren't so friendly but some were ok but English not so fluent. The food was great from the hotel's restaurant, breakfest was especially great, have to try their authentic croissants! so yummy! WiFi was expensive though! Location wise it's not too far off the city, just need to catch the right subway not the express one!

First impression is often the wrong one, but on this occasion it appeared to be the right one. Eventually it affected the overall impression of the city, which supposed to be the Haven on Earth.
To begin with we travelled to Paris by car from Derby. Accordingly, the first criteria of choosing the hotel was the free car park. Unfortunately, there are not too many hotels in the city centre which provide such a thing (that is pretty understandable). Besides we had a limited budget around 200 pounds. At the end of the day we found this Apogia Hotel an hour walking distance from the city centre. The building was located in the industrial region of Paris, still it is possible to see Seine through your tiny window (we asked for the river view and we had got it!!). In terms of security, I had a feeling everyone could enter the building and open any door as you didn't have to insert your key to use the elevator and the reception desk was often empty. I wouldn't have thease fears if there were not so many strange-looking guys outside staring at you as if estimating what they can still from you. And all this security people in the supermarkets!!! So, in general Paris had presented an impression of unsafe place thaks to the hotel.
As for the room itself....OMG. It was dark, dirty, untidy. The curtains were covered with dust, the small window did not let the light to come in as it was covered with yellowish curtain lace. The walls were dirty. As for the bed we asked the double one but got two singles put together as if it was one double. There was no opportunities to control the room temperature at all. Plus there was not a fridge. The toilet smelled and there were real fungi in the bathroom. No need to say that the quality of bathroom was very low (the surface of it was damaged and it was impossible to fix the shower crane on the wall). One night I woke up because of nicotine smell. It was getting into the room through the door – someone smoked right in the corridor! I do not have a great travelling experience, but this was the worst one. My dear husband, though, is quite worldly-wise man. Even he was shocked.

This is a very basic european hotel. Very very basic breakfast and mediocre meals in the restaurant. The rooms were very basic yet comfortable. Wifi is not free, you pay hourly or daily through the Orange company.

This hotel is really far from public transportation, unless you sit and wait for the bus. In order to get to the metro/subway you either need to walk for 15/30 minutes or take the bus 5 minutes. To get to the city center you then have to take 3 different lines on the subway. After 2-3 days you will get it down, but if you are there to see the city it's worth the extra money to have a hotel closer to the city center.

We arrived a few hours early in the rain and the clerk did their best to take us in provide early-check in. We were greeted and escorted from the elevator to our room by the friendly multi-lingual maid.
Our room had a nice river view without specifically requesting one. Overall, Hotel exceeded our expectations.
