Kevin

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.

A Ă©viter

Volet cassĂ©. TĂ©lĂ©vision en panne (aucune information Ă  ce sujet). Pas de climatisation donc obligĂ© d’ouvrir les fenĂȘtres car chaleur insupportable. Environnement trĂšs bruyant toute la nuit (cris, circulation, nĂ©on publicitaire), quartier peu rassurant. Lits inconfortables. Salle de bain vĂ©tuste et exiguĂ« (pas d’espace entre wc et lavabo, baignoire dont le fond n’est pas stable). Appliques non raccordĂ©es. Parking Ă  rĂ©gler en plus (5 euros). Deux sĂ©jours Ă©taient prĂ©vus initialement mais nous n’avons pas renouvelĂ© l’expĂ©rience alors que notre deuxiĂšme sĂ©jour Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ  rĂ©glĂ© (et non remboursable). Un mail a Ă©tĂ© envoyĂ© Ă  ce sujet Ă  Hotel.com mais aucune rĂ©ponse ni dĂ©dommagement.
