Disliked: Staff & service
We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Ok for a stop over, managed to find a lovely bar nearby, the atmosphere in the hotel bar was not for us. If you have mobility problems check your room is not in the area where there are flights of stairs & no lift.

Simple no frills

The hotel is central, my room was quiet, very basic and clean. The bedding was thin and I really got cold in the night. Parking is secure. Good for the cheap price.

Excellent hotel, fantastic location near several metro lines and the rer for cdg Airport. Room much bigger than most Paris hotel rooms, bed very comfy. Service was excellent, the person at reception could not have been more helpful. Will definitely go back.

Pratique car juste en face de la gare, bon accueil. Chambre propre mais comme l’ensemble de l’hôtel la moquette et les mobiliers font leur âge. Pas de climatisation dans la chambre, horrible en plein après midi, heureusement que la soirée a été plus fraîche. Bien dormi, bon matelas. Petit déjeuner correct.

2nuits dans cet hôtel avec une amie. Surprise :la chambre a un lit matrimonial alors que nous avions demandé 2lits. La personne qui nous accueille opère le changement sans problème. Le lendemain,la chambre n a pas été faite. En plus odeur d égout dans la salle de bains. Par contre,la literie est bonne
