Central Hôtel — Hotel in Paris

First of all, this is not a hotel it's more like a back packers inn or a very low rate hostel. This place is the absolute worst place for anyone to stay. Where do I start? Oh yea! lets start with the receptionist rude, belligerent, unfriendly, unkind. She pretends not to speak English, you can only speak to them through a metal bar and even then sometimes they don't even open it so you can't even see them when you are speaking.

There is no lobby or seating area, the rooms are tiny and nowhere to put your stuff. The bathrooms are small very filthy with broken fixtures there are holes in the walls. No WiFi even though they tell you there is. I was bitten so badly by bugs my entire body was covered in bites. Oh! Let's not forget there are five floors and no elevators be prepared to carry your luggage up the narrow wooden stairs which is dark in color and sometimes there are no overhead lights in the stairwell. Also, the wooden stairs are right outside the communal bathrooms and sometimes they are wet which makes them very dangerous and a death trap.

I would advise to stay away it's not worth the sorrow and pain that comes with the aftermath.

The only good thing about this place it's close to the subway. However, there are many other accommodations in the area. One more thing I would advise don't pay on line because the will double charge you and you will have a hard time getting your money back or not at all.

There's so much more I want to say. Please read the reviews carefully before you...

Rooms are were clean, and had all expected amenities with the exception for a hair dryer. However the setup was a bit weird, for example the TV was positioned atop the door near the ceiling, some drawers were fake, hot water came out of the cold tap and vice versa. The room was also had a radiator blasted out intense heat but which couldn't be turned off; we had to keep a window open the entire night to keep temperature at a comfortable level. We also had the en suite room with shower and both room, which I would recommend over the communal shower rooms, as there is only one shower per floor (about 8 rooms each) and is also awkwardly positioned in the staircase.

The friendliness of the staff was mixed; the was one really kind person in the corridor who helped us carry bags upstairs, however the women in the reception was quite rude.

Location is good; there are a lot of smaller restaurants and bakeries nearby as well as a supermarket. And there is nearby Metro access. It is also possible to walk to Notre Dame within 45 minutes.

Overall, despite this it was still a decently fair experience, and can recommend it to anyone on a tighter budget. However I would advise anyone to get an en suite room...

We made our reservation via booking.com, once arrived the owner told that the room booked is not availible and we have to pay extra to get a room in the higher price category, even the comment that the room was paid via booking.com didn't impress him much. So we had to pay the mark up via credit card or stay on the street. As if this would not have been shady enough, now month later the hotel did another booking on our credit card without any notice. So I can only advise any future guests not to give your credit card to the owner at any time.||||The rooms in the hotel are very small and the level of cleaning is not according to western european standards. ||There are much nicer places in Paris which offer a better value for money.||||The credit I have to give to this place is that it is close to the...
