Categories

Cleanliness
1
Generally reported as clean and comfortable in several reviews (explicit mention of καθαριότητα and 'It was clean and comfortable'), though one reviewer noted dust on the floor and minor issues (no bath mat), so overall mildly positive.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and responsive (welcome by a charming person, άμεση ανταπόκριση του προσωπικού, helpful residents), but there were occasional check-in/access issues (no staff at late arrival, problems with entry codes), so overall positive with some friction.
Location
1
Location praised for proximity to tram, shops and stops and a terrace; one guest noted it is far from central Paris/metro, so overall slightly positive given good local access but not central.
Room Quality
1
Multiple significant room issues: problematic heating control (overheating in bathroom, inability to turn off room heat due to password), windows locked (safety concern), ventilation noise at night, and small safety/access details (no non-slip mat). These recurring, safety-related problems drive a strongly negative score.
Amenities
1
Amenities such as coworking space, modern automated services, 10th-floor terrace and basic beverage/tea offerings were noted positively; some small missing items (e.g., limited breakfast items) but overall slightly positive.
Value for Money
1
Several reviewers explicitly mention good value/price and quality-price ratio ('Bon rapport qualité prix', 'price is great'), so this is clearly positive.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast generally described as good (fresh bread, croissants) and present even if portions/variety are limited (missing cheese/ham, 'small breakfasts'), so mildly positive.
Overall Experience
1
Many guests recommend the hotel and cite positives (new, quiet, friendly staff, good value), but notable negatives—especially heating/control and safety concerns with windows/entry—temper the overall stay to a slightly negative net experience.

Pros:

Gostei bastante da localização, muito conveniente e bem situada. O ambiente é tranquilo, ideal para descansar depois de um dia a explorar a cidade. As instalações estavam muito limpas e bem cuidadas. Experiência muito positiva, recomendo.

Cons:

O pequeno-almoço foi muito fraco e de qualidade claramente abaixo do esperado. A oferta era pobre e pouco cuidada. É inadmissível que, chegando por volta das 9h, quando o horário vai até às 10h, já não haja praticamente nada disponível. Este é um ponto muito negativo que compromete seriamente a experiência e que necessita de melhoria urgente.

Pros:

Καθαριότητα, άμεση ανταπόκριση του προσωπικού και γαλλικό πρωινό

Cons:

Αντιμετωπισαμε δυσκολία όταν φτάσαμε (ήταν βράδυ Κυριακής και δεν υπήρχε άτομο εκείνη την ώρα)με τους κωδικούς για την είσοδο στο κτίριο. Ευτυχώς ηταν πολυ πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν οι νεοτατοι άνθρωποι που κατοικούν μόνιμα στο κτίριο. Αλλά ήταν το μόνο δύσκολο σημείο ολόκληρη την εβδομάδα που μείναμε.

Bel hôtel
Pros:

Très bel hôtel neuf à proximité du tram.
Facile d'accès. J'ai été accueillie par une personne charmante alors que je m'attendais à un accueil impersonnel via une machine.
Petit déjeuner très bon. Il manque du fromage et du jambon. Sinon, pain frais et croissants de la boulangerie.
Un pb de chauffage : lorsque je suis arrivée dans ma chambre, il faisait 28° dans la salle de bain et 24 dans la chambre. J'ai pu arrêter le chauffage de la salle de bain mais pas celui de la chambre. Le système me demandait un mot de passe que je n'avais pas. Par ailleurs, les fenêtres sont verrouillées et on ne peut pas les ouvrir. Ce dernier point me semble poser un pb de sécurité. En cas d'incendie dans le bâtiment, on ne peut pas s'échapper (j'étais au 1er etage).
