Hôtel Beaubourg — Hotel in Paris

Bad experience! Not worth the money. So the rooms are quite small and bathroom is even smaller, you can’t move your hands in shower. They have such a small elevator/lift from old age which can hardly fit a person together with the luggage. Now coming to hospitality, I know Europe in general lacks hospitality but here you won’t even get a glass of water while you checkin at reception- on asking for some water I was told you will find that in mini bar on payment or go out and buy from supermarket, can You imagine a guest came after a long journey and you dont have even water to offer? In all the countries I travelled in Europe, such behaviour I only see here. Also while I checked in my room, it was hot as flame and AC was not working- on asking reception lady said do this do that and I kept struggling- and after few minutes she called that it was switched off from reception and now she has switched it on and mind it they will switch it off any time they want and you will keep struggling!

Response to their reply: Window was open when you came?? Did you even read what I mentioned?? Ask your reception lady what happened the day I arrived, dont just respond for the sake of responding. Moreover your lack of accepting that service was not upto the mark, is the reason hotels like yours never improves! What hospitality are you talking about???? Not even offering water to guests who come to your hotel durimg checkin- is a part of your hospitality or not even greeting them when they arruve is a part??? Not having even a handwash ir soap at wash basin to wash hands??? A single soap bottle in shower area was there- guest should use that bottle at basin and then bathing??? Worst experience & even...

Pros: it is in a convenient location on the edge of the Marais District, and thus close to a tour that we took of the Marais. It is also near numerous places to "graze" and grab a snack, several patisseries, a small supermarket (which came in handy) and the metro stop at Centre Pomideau. The hotel and the rooms were very clean and the staff was friendly with sufficient English skills||Cons. The room was quite small which we understand to be the case of many hotel rooms in this category. We paid €240 a night which was a bit much for a small room but then again it’s Paris and the location was excellent. At the same time, if you look at the street portrayed in the website, it is not as pristine as it appears, as there are many bicycles and scooters parked shortly after you leave the hotel entrance. So that does not make for the nicest introduction to Paris when you walk out of your hotel, but that is not the fault of the hotel.  Also not the fault of the hotel, but something should be kept in mind is that we did not find the French to be very welcoming, helpful, and as my wife pointed out, they don’t smile easily. Also, the city was very busy and very hectic which, for us, put a damper on our trip, but we have spoken to others who visited at the same time who had a more pleasant experience. Of course, if you want to go see certain things in Paris, you have to...

This is a very good hotel to stay in Paris and a great value for your money. It is in a very central location - you can see the Centre Pompidou from the front door - and right in the middle of the Marais. (It is actually closer to the Metro Hotel de Ville than to the sometimes overwhelming Chatelet.) There is a grocery store and a pharmacy just one block away. The room was a good size, with beautiful beams in the ceiling, and very clean. There was plenty of closet space to hang my clothes and lots of shelves. The bathroom was very modern and quite spacious for Paris. The breakfast is your normal continental breakfast (croissant, bread, fruit, yogurt, etc.) and a great bargain at 11 euros. Most of all, I found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful - every one of them. This is very important to me, since I usually travel by myself. I had a problem figuring out the shower, and they came right up to my room to help. I would like to personally thank Christine, Chan, and Kevin, all of whom went out of their way to make me feel welcome during my six day stay. I would definitely return...
