Pleasant and Efficient!
My daughter and I are staying at the Aparthotel Adagio in Montrouge. It is small, but contained everything we needed for a comfortable home away from home. It is quiet, in a safe neighborhood, and close to shops and metro.
A small kitchen with electric stove top, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. The kitchen was equipped with dishes, flatware, coffee maker, tea kettle, a frying pan (ours broke), one sauce pan, and one stock pot. We planned ahead and brought zip lock bags to keep leftovers if necessary. The bathrooms are small but comfortable. The toilet was housed in a separate room with a sink, from the shower which was in a larger room with a sink and towel warmer. We had a studio that had a Murphy bed in the wall. Since we were only here for 4-5 days, we opted to leave the bed down. It was not our intent to spend a lot of time in our room because we wanted to experience Paris. We learned that Montrouge is not really Paris, but an adjacent suburb. It is still convenient, close to shops, (Monoprix is less that a block away, similar to Target at home, with groceries, and other items for sale at reasonable prices), and metro. I spent 50 Euros, purchasing food for breakfast, water, juice, cheese, bread, and an adapter for our electronic devices. We found that the laundry facilities onsite were expensive at 5 euros to wash a load of clothes and 2.5 Euros to dry. I'm looking for a less expensive alternative for this by searching for a laundromat nearby. If not, we'll skip trying to do laundry and just wait until we get home. I'll post some pictures under a separate entry.
The staff were wonderful! Luke and Alexandra at the reception desk were very helpful, both speak English and were pleased to see us practice our French speaking skills. I would highly recommend this place and definitely would stay here again on my next trip to Paris.
The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because they do not provide any type of daily cleaning service. They clean by the week, and there is a separate charge for that. They do offer breakfast at 11 Euros per person per day.
Also, wifi is excellent, but they limit you to only two connections. With two people with laptops, tablets and phones, this was a challenge to manager having only two connections simultaneously. Since we are in a French speaking country, television is in French. Although we try to speak the language while here, watching tv is far too fast to keep up with the language. Therefore, it helped having our laptop and tablets with access to the internet. Fortunately, I had my HDMI video cable and the room has a modern flat screen television. We were able to watch American television via the internet, a real welcoming capability that we appreciated while relaxing in bed. All in all, I give this place the highest rating in my opinion and highly recommend it for a short...
Read moreTHIS IS NOT A 4 STAR HOTEL 8/16/25 We made a reservation for 2 rooms which included 3 seniors last week. Arrived at 930am to drop our luggage (6 large+3 small) off into the holding area. We were informed to return at 2pm by the lady at front desk to check in. Returned at 2pm and was told check in is at 3pm by Yassim. He stated in his exact words "Sometimes there's a language barrier here in France so she may have not understood what we asked her about check in" ??? She literally said check in is at 2 and held up 2 fingers. She also answered our question about the fridge having a freezer, so there was no language issues.
Room 1: Dirty and fridge doesn't work and leaks. Upon dropping our luggage off there was a customer complaining about a fridge not working, I think this was her room.
Room 2: It's now 3:45pm waited in the lobby 1hr and 45mins for the 2nd room and never checked in because it took to long. We were told by the Manager Yassim that the cleaning crew is 3rd party and all we can do is wait. I asked to cancel the room and get a refund for at least the 1 room that we didnt check into. He said he cant do anything about a refund since it's policy. I don't even have a check in or cancel paperwork for the 2nd room. I immediately called a true 4 star hotel Les Artiste Hotel and was offered a better price and rooms immediately. We took the deal. Returned the keys to Room 1 and pulled all our luggage from holding. At that time we were then offered 2 free upgrades and our rooms were ready. Really took 2 hours to offer that? Will never return to this hotel.
Update on refund: I got our $19eu refunded in taxes. I have been working with Hotels.com on a refund request for 1 week now. Exact response "Hello Arthur
We wanted to follow up after our last conversation, where you asked us to reach out to Aparthotel Adagio Paris Montrouge to see if refunding your booking fee was possible.
Unfortunately, after multiple tries, we weren't able to obtain approval from the property manager to waive the booking fee. This means the current rules and restrictions for your booking apply an refund can't be granted. "
So the hotel didnt respond, smart of them. Now on to filing a dispute and posting this all on sites including social media and my Tiktok (Only have 100k followers) but spreading the...
