Hôtel Trocadero la Tour — Hotel in Paris

If you're dreaming of a charming, quintessentially Parisian hotel stay, you may want to look elsewhere. The hotel's location is excellent. Safe, quiet, and within walking distance of the Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower. That's where the positives end.||The rooms are extremely dated, with damaged furniture and old, dirty carpeting. There was only one working plug point - perfect if you enjoy playing 'which gadget gets power today.' As a bonus, the TV was out of order. The storage cupboard was full of pillows and blankets, leaving no room for our belongings.||The bathroom? A masterpiece of stains, mold, and a slow draining tub that leaves you standing in stagnant water as you bathe. There is no shower cubicle, just a tub with a splash guard that doesn't cover the whole area, so water ends up all over the floor. ||Housekeeping? Let’s just say the beds remained unmade in an oddly minimalist statement, and the same stained pillows greeted us each night. Bathroom cleaning was a casual affair, and if you were hoping for a fresh coffee spoon, don’t—they’ve likely gone missing along with the attention to detail.||After 5 pm, the hotel is strangely devoid of staff. One evening, I went to the front desk to ask a question, and the person there told me he didn’t actually work at the hotel. He was just filling in temporarily until a staff member shows up for their shift at 8 pm.||Breakfast was chaotic, with only one overworked soul single handedly welcoming guests, serving tables, cleaning up, and refilling the buffet. ||The elevator is another delightful quirk - so small, it’s more of a suggestion for one person and a bag. We made multiple trips just to move ourselves and our luggage in and out, which really added to the “experience.”||I have visited Paris several times and this was by far my most...

September and left last Saturday. This hotel is located in a nice neighborhood and had lots of shops, boutiques and restaurants within walking distance. It is within walking distance of the eiffel tower as well. I don't know the hotel rating system is in France, so if you are choosing this hotel because it is a 4 star, I suggest that you don't. This is no different than a regular best western here in the US. The room we were in was rather small however this is not unique to this hotel, hotel rooms in Paris are rather small. We felt that the hotel was rather old. In fact our room smelled rather old. The elevator is really tiny, there's barely space for 2 people with luggage. Oh it is really slow, extremely slow! We were surprised to see that the room we were in didn't have an iron. We requested one and were given one that was not working with a broken ironing table. It took us a full day to get a new one and we had to ask multiple times. Also another disappointment was that I called reception to book a taxis that would take me to the airport, the girl at the reception asked me to go downstairs to the reception because I needed to answer a few questions. I get there she asked me for the time and day I needed the taxi and that what she needed me to go downstairs for! Then when I asked her how much it would cost and if I could pay with a credit she wasn't able to answer me. So after discussing this with my sister I decided to cancel the taxi, only for the same girl to tell me that I needed to email hotel reservations to cancel the taxi! Weird right! Which we did! An hour later, my sister went back to reception and talked to someone else and the person was able to cancel the taxi reservation right then and their. We thought these two incidents were handled in an...
