“Okay for a base, but wouldn't return”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

Quite hard to find hotel as is down a dodgy street and is a good 15 minute walk to the metro. Some staff members we encountered were friendly but one in particular was very rude and patronising (woman with dark short hair).

Room was small but clean and we had fresh, clean sheets on every day, bathroom was also modern. Only issue was the train the ran next to the room - couldn't open window as the noise from the train would keep up awake but was too hot with it closed. It is true that the walls are paper thin, we often heard couples getting raunchy in there rooms which was very awkward! We had a queen sized bed but were surprised to find they had just pushed two beds together...

Breakfast was included on our 3 day visit to Paris, but it was very basic. Tea, coffee, orange juice, apple juice, 3 cereals, 2 halfs of a baguette, 2 croissants, jams and brioche.

When we arrived to check in the woman asked to see our ID and my partners credit card as security... bit concerned now after people have mentioned they have been charged on their cards after they left so will be keeping an eye out! Also, we were shocked to learn we have to pay 'local tax' when we checked out which came to 4 euros for our 3 day stay.

Room Tip: Ask for a room that isn't by the train track

“Small, Cozy but Convenient”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Stayed here for 2 nights. Room was rather small but the location was very convenient and most off all the hotel was clean. Fresh towels each day and the breakfast was decent. Metro was 10 minutes walk and shopping malls near by. The price for the Hotel was very reasonable and staff were friendly.

“Good location for CNIT”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

Stayed here for 5 nights for a conference at the CNIT.

Rooms very small and I could just squeeze into the bathroom. I new experience for me as I'm 5"2 and slim. Although rooms were clean, the bathroom had a nasty smell coming from it which was only fixed by opening the balcony doors. Lucky it's summer!
Shower also leaked profusely, though maintenance came to fix this.

While most staff were friendly, helpful and multi lingual, the one thing I will mention is an unpleasant experience. I was chatting with a chap on reception after returning from dinner and when I got back to my room, the room phone rang. It was reception man. To my horror and disgust he wanted to know if I wanted him to 'come up'. He repeated the question several times before I hang up. I stress that I wasn't in anyway suggestive. Completely inappropriate and I spent a sleepiness night wondering whether I'd wake to find him in my room!

An unpleasant end to my trip. I will not be returning. Steer clear if you're a girl travelling alone.

“Excellent stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012 via mobile

Have just returned from a trip here. Spent three nights in Paris at this hotel.

ROOMS:-

Clean, bright and modern in there appearance. Small, but as in the norm with Parisian hotels of this rating. Clean towels every day and very comfortable bed which in my opinion was new. the ensuite be it small was very bright and the shower pressure was more than enought to wake ones self up in the morning, and copious amounts of hot water.

STAFF:-

All the staff we encountered were friendly, polite and very helpfull.

BREAKFAST:-

The optionally breakfast was good value, offering a nice selection of bread, coissants, cereal, ham, cheese, yogurt, fruit juices, tea and coffee. All served in a delightful airy clean modern and bright comtempary room.

LOCATION:-

Only seconds walk away from Courbevoie SNCF rail station, only taking 7 minutes to St Lazare Main Line Station for shopping and the 43 bus to Gare De Nord for The Eurostar. Nearest RER and Metro an easy 10 minute walk upto La Defense ( business and shopping area). In the immediate area the are lots of restaurants and local specialists shops for your needs. The surrounding area of Courbevoie and La Garenne De Colombes makes for a pleasant stroll with the area being clean and tidy and generally safe feeling both night and day.

In summary a very pleasant and enjoyable visit and look forward to returning as soon a time allows!

“Fine but wouldnt choose to rush back”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2012

I stayed here recently on a business trip. The hotel is obviously old but has been renovated to a good standard. The rooms are comfortable but on the small side. Bathrooms have obviously been added at some time in the past to rooms which were already compact and this means that both the rooms and bathrooms are a bit cramped.

The location is a fair bit outside the centre of Paris so not ideal and I felt it was a bit expensive for what and where it was. But this is Paris which is hugely expensive in itself.

The hotel backs onto a railway so try to get a room the other side. That said, my room was away from the railway and it was very hot when we we're there and was still very noisy with the window open (and too hot with it closed).

Room Tip: At the front away from the railway
