1K Paris

"A/C did not work and workers knew this, it was at 25% power and there were mold by the A/C vent. While it was on (at the 25% power), my partner and I both developed cold-like symptoms while the room was ~26C. We asked for a different room after the first night, but the only option they gave was to pay an extra 100 euro per night to get a room with a working A/C in the newer building (this "hotel" is split into 2). End result? They gave us a standing fan so we used it as an exhaust fan to blow the mold, humidity and a bit of heat out the window.\n\nIf your hotel guests are complaining about heat and breathing issues due to mold during the summer and you know the AC is broken, how dare you charge 100euro per night for basic needs?\n\nThe location is kinda sketchy and is very loud at night and at early mornings. With the AC not working/with mold and windows opened for the fan, it was a bad stay. Not central, yes you're right on top of a train station that's not part of the main line.\n\nWe essentially had to force ourselves to be outside as much as possible.\n\nNote to self: Next time just spend the extra money, you get what you pay for."

"The hotel is definitely value for money.\nRoom was a decent size, had plenty of storage, large bed which was on the firmer side but good quality linen. Lovely big windows with great blackout curtains. Bathroom was a good size and the toiletries provided are nice. This room had a bath with a shower over, I'd have preferred a shower only but it was fine and worked well, I suppose it's good for a hotel to have options for all. Has a small basic mini bar but no coffee facilities which really should be a basic offer in this type of room.\nThe room was a bit tired and maybe could do with some updating but for the price it is a good value option.\nService at the front desk was pleasant, friendly and efficient.\nI personally liked the interior décor of the hotel.\nBreakfast buffet selection was basic but ok. There is a limited selection compared to other hotels I've stayed at but the quality and freshness was fine and I didn't go without. Only criticism of the breakfast is that the cutlery and crockery wasn't clean enough, I had to sort through the bowls and spoons to find what I felt was clean.\nLocation is very good and well connected with lots of places to eat, drink and shop close by. I booked directly with the hotel as it offered the best value. It's good value for money for Paris!"

"Great location just outside the overpriced tourist places. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was a bit stuffy with the August heat and humidity, but after riding around Paris on our bikes we had no trouble falling asleep. Nice firm beds!"
