Les Rebelles — Hotel in Paris

I wanted to like Les Rebelles Hotel. the staff were nice when i arrived. my room was spacious and housekeeping were also very nice.

but on my second night, around 1 a.m., i couldn’t get back into the hotel. i used the code they gave me (i even had a photo) and tried over and over. the keypad had “A” and “B,” so i wondered if i needed to add one, but no. the streets were dark and i was scared. my Bolt driver was still there and i kept thinking he should’ve left by now. had to book another bolt driver just cause the initial driver was kind scaring me at this point for just staying there.

i called the hotel, i called the number listed as “george,” and i tried the number on google. no answer from anyone. i have proof of the calls. in the end, i called a friend who was at a hostel and i had to book their last room for €187 just so i had somewhere safe to stay.

the next day, my friend (who speaks some french) talked to someone i believe was Gérald, and he kept saying it was “impossible.” but it happened. i was there, trying again and again, shaking and terrified. later in daylight, the same code worked. a staff member (i think george) tried to show me how it works when he saw me walk in, but i had already entered the exact same code and it opened. the problem wasn’t that i didn’t know how to open the door, it’s that it should’ve worked during the night. I was even scared to walk back during the day because maybe i was wrong about the code but I entered same code without from that night without looking at the picture with the code. please check the cameras from that night, you’ll see me at the door trying repeatedly.

this ruined my stay. a hotel should have reliable after-hours access and a phone that gets answered at night, especially if guests rely on a door code. i was too scared to go out late again in case it happened twice. even though the room was spacious and housekeeping was great, feeling unsafe outweighed that. i had to pay for another room and another bolt that night, so i honestly think i deserve a refund for that night since i couldn’t even get...

Les Rebelles. I have been to Paris many times. I have never stayed in such a bad place. I don't know where to start. Let's start with the location. It is close to the metro. But everywhere in Paris is close to the metro. You can go anywhere in Paris by metro for at least half an hour. If you stay somewhere further away, it will take 45 minutes anyway. The area where the hotel is located is not safe. They harassed our two daughters on the street in the evening. As for the hotel itself, the rooms are spacious and clean, but there is no air conditioning in the rooms. Also, the street where the hotel is located is very noisy. We couldn't sleep at night because of the heat and noise. It was a complete terrible. The hotel doesn't have a lobby. You open the door with QR and password and enter yourself. There is no elevator to the upper floors. There is only a narrow staircase like a fire escape. We had a hard time going up and down with our suitcases. My wife injured her foot. There is a open market on the street where the hotel is located on Tuesdays. That is another nightmare. Finally, on the last morning we left the hotel, they started renovations at around 9 am. They were breaking concrete on top of you, as you know. We were thankful to get ourselves out of the hotel. Such a bad hotel in such a bad location should be given such a high score, Booking.com putting this hotel in the foreground is like a fraud with a contract. Unfortunately, words are not enough to describe the bad experience we had. BOOKING.COM is deliberately conning people who travel in collaboration with this...

We recently stayed at a hotel Les Rebelles on Boulevard Belleville and had mixed feelings about the experience. The location, while convenient in some aspects, may not be ideal for solo female travelers or families, especially after dark. The area can feel a bit unsettling with a noticeable presence of certain activities.

Transportation-wise, the nearby Metro Line 2 runs from East to West, which means traveling to central Paris can take around 30 to 40 minutes. Also, unloading or loading a car can be challenging due to the street setup.

The staff were very friendly and did their best to make our stay pleasant. However, the breakfast, priced at €15, didn’t meet our expectations. The croissants were hard, there was no butter, and the coffee was not up to the Parisian standard. The ham seemed to have been left out too long, and the eggs tasted less than fresh.

On a positive note, the rooms were exceptionally clean, including the bathrooms. Unfortunately, the rooms lacked air conditioning, which could be uncomfortable in warmer weather. There is also no elevator, so be prepared to climb about 100 stairs if you're staying on the 5th floor.

In summary, this hotel might not be the best choice for families with young children or solo female travelers. However, it could be a reasonable option for young couples passing through Paris and looking for...
