DO NOT STAY HERE – Complete False Advertising
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights, and it was an absolute nightmare. What is advertised online is a total lie compared to the reality of this property.
- The 3-Star Lie: Online platforms list this as a 3-star hotel, but the physical sign permanently displayed on the actual building clearly says 2 stars. They are completely misrepresenting the class and quality of the hotel.
- No AC During a Heatwave: They advertised an air-conditioned room, but the AC was completely non-functional due to building renovations. Being stuck in a Parisian heatwave with zero air circulation was miserable and unsafe.
- Unusable Bathroom: The toilet was crammed so tightly into a corner wall that it was physically impossible to sit on it facing forward. We had to sit completely sideways just to use it. There were also holes in the tiles and visible mold everywhere.
- Active Construction Zone: We were never warned that the hotel was undergoing massive renovations. Extremely loud construction noise started blasting at 9:00 AM every single morning, waking us up, shaking the room, and leaving thick construction dust everywhere.
- Zero Soundproofing: The walls are paper-thin. We woke up multiple times every single night because we could hear every word our neighbors were saying, people walking in the halls, and heavy street noise.
- Dilapidated Rooms: Everything was in terrible shape, including loose light fixtures literally falling out of the ceiling.

This place is a total scam for the price they charge. Save your money, your sleep, and your sanity—stay somewhere else.

Pros:

L accueil très chaleureux

Cons:

Pas de clim, un simple ventilateur qui fait un bruit du tonnerre. La literie catastrophique et des moisissures partout. Je n ai pas dormi de la nuits

Pros:

The room, the location and the staff

Cons:

No AC. Not sure if it was due to the renovations going on in the 1st floor. I was in the second floor and I just opened the windows and slept fine. My friends were in thr 4th and 5th floor and it was super hot for them. They were given a fan. Also, I have to note that it was during the hottest days in Europe (may 25 to 28) so probably in any other spring day it would had been fine.

The staff offered free coffee/croissant/othet bakery items.

Overall it was fine for me, I would had given higher scores if the AC was working.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location and people in the reception!

Cons:

Pleasant enough, but nowhere near worth the price. The staff were friendly and did offer us an electric fan because the air conditioning was not working due to ongoing renovations. However, this was during a 33°C+ heatwave, and we were never informed before arrival that the hotel was under construction or that the air conditioning was out of service. That should have been communicated in advance.

We were given a room with a nice balcony and view, which was appreciated, but it did not make up for the overall experience.

The “breakfast” was especially disappointing. It consisted of a few croissants, tea, and coffee left outside reception in a cramped hallway for most of the day. Calling that breakfast is misleading, especially when breakfast is advertised as part of the booking and clearly reflected in the price. We ended up going out for breakfast every day anyway.

Overall, the hotel feels overpriced and poorly managed for what it actually offers.
