4/10 Fair

Overall the experience was okay, The staff was eager to help and the hotel location was good. The hotel kitchen had good food options. We did face issue with the heating of the room that we stayed in. It wasn’t working properly. The technician tried to fix the issue but I don’t think it worked because the issue persisted. We were to leave early next morning so we didn’t go back to complain for the third time. Everything else was okay.

2/10 Poor

Incredibly disappointing
Room was laughably not as described. The room booked for a quad was so tight and small, there was barely any room for four people to stand or their suitcases to be opened. The beds were tiny and cracks in the ceiling. When I upgraded the room to an 8 person, in the new room, there was some unusual substance (gross) sprayed all over the curtain.

Don’t get hungry late at night
For the price, in Paris, it’s well worth any inconvenience. Best part was a good locker room, for a fee. My biggest complaint is that there is no kitchen for guests. There’s a restaurant on site where you must purchase food, and you’re not allowed to bring your own food into the building unless you eat it in the *smoking courtyard* (even when the restaurant kitchen is closed). There are very few restaurants open late in the neighborhood. I was hungry at 10pm after traveling halfway around the world and was told to sit and eat my take away in a smoky courtyard. Hated it.

2/10 Poor

Upon arrival the staff were nice and they have an area to leave your luggage if you arrive before check in time. However we had two rooms and they were awful, broken shower doors, broken switches, broken headboards, lights not working, windows don’t shut all the way, super noisy especially if you’re on the front side of the hotel by main road, doesn’t feel safe either as soon as you step outside the doors of the hotel. Staff were nice throughout the stay but the hotel was awful

Great location and easy to get around during the Olympics! It was very expensive for what it is during the games!

6/10 Good

A primary staff member at the desk, white man with thin brown hair and a beard tried to double charge me for a towel and denied me a room change when the AC broke (yet someone else gave me the room instantly.) He said there weren’t any left which was a lie because the next time I asked a woman gave me a choice of 3 spots. Watch out for him! He was also rude and unhelpful to my friends as well.

I always stay here and enjoy it. The staff are helpful and are very pleasant at all hours of the night. Security is very serious about who enters at various times of the night. This time the bathrooms weren’t cleaned as frequently as they are given that it was the Olympics and I believe they’re beginning to rent to local homeless people which may long term become problematic when it’s a shared dorm space as people horde and become territorial about the shared spaces including the bathroom. I guess generator Paris hasn’t figured out a way around this issue yer.

Can do much better
No towels in the bathroom when we arrived, empty shower gel and shampoo dispensers, broken A/C so we had to leave the window open and dealt with mosquitoes and loud noises in the street. Avoid if you can. Nice decoration, vibe and receptionists.
