Great location, classic Parisian atmosphere and enjoyable breakfasts made for a happy stay!
Likes: The room was excellent with very comfortable beds, and clean bedlinen. The hotel in general was very clean overall. We loved the architecture of the building, and the excellent location. It was a tad old fashioned in the bedrooms, but that was what we both liked. We had a room at the rear of the hotel so not the best veiws, but totally quiet. It felt very welcoming however, with the bedrooms having fitted carpets instead of the usual, noisy laminate flooring - with us both having two very lively young children with us (9 and 10 years old). We found the staff really nice to talk to, and were always polite and helpful. The main receptionists, Julien, was really pleasant chap, and we hit it off with him very quickly. Also the darker haired, shorter, older lady who made up the breakfasts each morning was really nice too (though she did not speak that much english, we really got on well with her) The breakfast's were superb, with a wide choice of fresh pastries and croissants, meats and cheeses etc. The glasses and crockery were always spotlessly clean too. Rue des Martyrs, (in the next street) is highly recommenced for shoppers looking for great wines, pleasant cafes, and some great shopping. Overall we loved the hotel and are definitely intending to return, using it as our base to explore a lot more of beautiful Paris.
Disliked: Being English, I really wish we had tea and coffee making facilities in the bedrooms. Though we found out towards the end of our star we could help ourselves 24/7 to the hot water urn in the dinning area to make tea and coffee, so this gripe was mitigated against.
The bedrooms could do with a lick of paint at some point, and we wished the shower hose had a wall attachment in our bathroom. But overall these were two small things to us, and did not affect our enjoyment of staying at the hotel.
We will be looking forward to be coming back at some point, regardless. Our experience staying at this hotel, as a family did not correspond to the negative reviews on google. We both felt the price, was good for the loccation in Paris, and what the hotel had to offer. Many thanks to Julien, the pleasant lady who did the breakfasts, and all the staff at Hotel Antin St Georges, you made our stay...
Read moreI stayed in room 504 and cannot state hard enough how disappointed I was with the hotel room. This so-called double standard room that I stayed in was nowhere near as described on the website.| |In the room itself, there are about 50 cms space around three sides of the bed. If the bed's dimensions are 2x2 metres (they aren't, but for the sake of a quick calculation), this makes the room 9 square meters, let's say 10 square metres, but not more. On the website the standard double room is described as having 15 square metres!| |To make the room even smaller, being on floor 5 meant that we were in the attic, which has part of the roof inside the room, so in order to go around to the windows side of the bed you really needed to bend otherwise you'd hit yourself against the slope of the roof (which comes inside the room) or against the wooden beam!| |- 220V power supply - there was only one electricity socket that we could use; a second socket was on the very top of the roof slope (see my earlier point) and therefore unusable;|- fan (or what you describe as "individually adjustable heating maybe) - yes there was a fan in the room, but the cord could not reach to the aforementioned electricity socket, located too high up the roof slope for the length of the fan cable;|- tea and coffee making facilities - none in our room! - major disappointment and inconvenience for us!|- ironing set - none in our room!| |No room to open the bathroom door if you stood by the bed - that's how crammed this room is! Had to open the door and then sort of go around it. When you come out of the bathroom you MUST make your intention known to the other person in the room, otherwise you risk hitting them with the door.| |The wardrobe was another joke, something like the size of a bathroom cabinet and completely unfit for purpose. We had to keep our clothes in our (small) suitcases, located one on top of the other in a corner in an already crammed space - and pick and choose what we wore as and when needed. The wardrobe became our washing basket to throw things we wore during the day, that's how small it was.|Also, the glass door of the wardrobe was broken, and "fixed" with selotape - this is a health and...
