Upon checking in to this hotel, my partner and I were shown the bar area, and told that this is where we would have breakfast, and to help ourselves at the bar (we thought the latter comment might have been lost in translation). We were therefore rather shocked when checking out, to be presented with an enormous bill for breakfast,... more

Stayed at Le General for 2 days after exploring tripadvisor for hours! Hotel has a beautiful modern entrance. Room; spacious enough especially for Paris, Nicely decorated with modern furniture and flat screen tv, bed was fine.Instread of the little chocolates at your bed side there were 2 big green apples! Bathroom: super; really beautiful; nice big tiles, big sink, shaving... more

I was generally happy with this hotel, although I have stayed in much better places in other cities for less money so I wouldn't say it's particularly good value for money, but maybe that's just Paris. The hotel has lots of good design features throughout, a beautiful entrance and bar area, a fitness centre and sauna. The bathroom was spotless... more

Finding a reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location in Paris can be hard, especially in summer so I was encouraged by the charms of Le General as displayed on its website. It's a good location close to Republique and has been refurbished and kitted out with funky modern decor and furnishings. Like most old Parisian hotels the rooms are... more

Hotel is nice and clean, but lacks any Parisian charm so you feel like you could be anywhere in the world. It's not located in the best part of Paris, but is close to transport. All of the staff were very friendly... They lost my luggage on my last day and gave it to someone else by mistake. After an... more

Very carefully designed, with pink/grey tones. Rooms are small but clean, bathrooms smart with a lot of attention to detail. Breakfast is served in a pleasant area, and has the funky, original touch of 'supplement' pills as self service. Yes it's slightly impersonal and the service doesnt offer any particular warmth or extra step but considering what you can find... more

Overall, I was very happy with this hotel. On the plus side, my room looked EXACTLY like the pictures and was very very clean. Other reviews I've read said the rooms were super small and that some were smoky or noisy. My room was decent sized (keep in mind I'm a New Yorker so my perspective might be different), it... more

I just returned from my trip in Paris. After reading the reviews on this hotel on this site and others I decided that for the price it could not be beat. The hotel itself was everything they promised and more. Staff was very friendly especially Sophie, who helped us daily with metros, reservations and train trips to the champagne region... more

If your easily impressed you will probably like this hotel. As other reviewers have mentioned the decor is funky etc etc but the hospitality is poor (clinical). No-one here will go out of their way to help you if need be. The room service is virtually non-existant. The front desk lady was rude and confused about our booking. If you're... more
