The hotel is situated on a fairly quiet road a short distance from Moulin Rouge and Montmarte. We were able to walk to some great shopping at Lafayette and the Metro was a very short stroll. When we walked to the hotel we noticed that the area had a number of sex shops and dancing clubs in the vicinity however did not detract from the area. Whilst at first I was a little apprehensive as to where I’d booked we soon realised it was a great location and would book here again. The hotel itself is a boutique hotel which has a dark but stylish feel. It was clean and the guy at reception was super friendly and helpful. The hotel works on a buzzer system so has some good security at the entrance. The rooms were clean and of a decent enough size for our stay. The bed was massive and comfortable although when sitting up in bed the bed moves away from the wall creating a gap. The bathroom was decent and the shower lovely. Great water pressure and of a decent size. There are no drawers in the bedside tables and limited space so we did live from the suitcases for our 3 nights. There is a safe in the room and ample tea and coffee provision. We didn’t use the mini bar but the fridge was cold and enough selection. The only real downside was noise in the morning. All the floors are hard with no carpet so you can hear the rooms being cleaned, the lift doors opening and the cleaning cart or suitcases making a noise as they come in and out of the lift. Overall this was an enjoyable stay here and we would...
Read moreI booked the hotel because it says it was a 4-Star, but definitely not even close to a 4-Star. If it ever was a 4-Star, probably it was in the 80’s or 90’s. Today it’s just a low service 3-Star. The whole hotel smells bad; furniture and bed looks old; towels are old and smells cigar; furniture are full of dust (which make you believe the cleaning standard is pretty low); the shelf on the sink bathroom to put your tooth brush among other items is broken and you simply can’t leave your stuffs in the bathroom; Wifi is so slow that it’s impossible to use basic things like Instagram or Facebook; shampoo and shower gel provided by the hotel has no brand and it’s a small bottle refilled by the maid (not a sealed one); the maid opened our door suddenly while we were in the room (thanks we were not naked!). These points may sound silly to some people, but they’re definitely not acceptable for a hotel that auto claim to be a 4-Star. I’ve stayed in some 3-Star that were much better than this one. Overall, it’s a decent hotel only if you pay cheap, and if you’re ok with the service of a low quality 3-Star. Good point is it’s a 1 minute walking to Blanche metro station. Hotel is surrounded by sex shops and prive clubs offering lap dance among other things. So it may be embarassing to walk in the area if you have young kids or if you’re sensitive to this kind of...
Read moreMy husband and I stayed here for a few nights for our wedding anniversary. It’s about forty/fifty minutes from the airport via taxi and is right next to a metro station as well as multiple bus stops. We arrived to the hotel earlier than we could check in but were able to store our bags in the luggage room for free (we also did this on the day we returned home). When we were able to go to our room, we felt safe as a key card was required to use the stairs and lift, meaning people couldn’t just come off of the street. The room itself was rather sizeable, plenty of space for just the two of us. Our view was lacklustre as we were facing another building, not that it mattered too much to us. The staff were very friendly, the cleaning staff came each day and changed our sheets/gave us more towels. The bed was comfortable and large, although it was two beds put together, it didn’t cause any issues mind you. Our only complaint would be that the room was never exactly quiet. You could hear people walking to their rooms, noise from outside and the noise from your own bathroom. This was rather inconvenient as my husband was woken up by guests going to their rooms throughout the night, they also didn’t seem to have much respect for the time of night they were making so much noise at, so it’s ideal to either be a deep sleeper or bring...
