Comfy and convenient for a Paris stopover.
Pros:

The room was small but clean and comfortable and the location was very nice - it was an easy walk from the train station and we enjoyed exploring this area.

Cons:

I tried to contact the motel before our visit by phone and email and did not receive a response. We received several WhatsApp messages about this booking that I believe were scams.

Perfect hotel for Paris. Felt very safe
Pros:

Perfect location for the Gare du Lyon station, literally a few minutes walk. Metro to all places of interest in short metro rides.

Lots of bars and restaurants, shops ect on the doorstep. And the food was lovely in them. A lovely couple of bars over the road.

Staff were super friendly and gave help and tips for our trip. Beds were really comfortable, slept really well. Over all a great stay and would 100000% stay here again when I next visit. Full five stars from me.

Cons:

The only thing I would say is a negative is that you only get a welcome plate of tea, coffee and milk in your room for one days worth of your whole visit. I feel it’s should be topped up each day you stay. It costs pence to replenish, I feel would make
The stay better as most like to
Wake and have a cup of tea or coffee when they are getting ready.

Grundsätzlich in Ordnung!
Pros:

Das Zimmer hat grds. der Beschreibung entsprochen! Klein, aber ruhig und sauber! Im Hotel wird ein Gepäckraum angeboten, in welchem die Koffer nach dem Checkout bis zur Abreise eingestellt werden können. Freundliches Personal am Empfang.
Ca. 300 m vom Hotel entfernt befindet sich der Bahnhof Gare de Lyon, von welchem mittels Metro, Zug oder Bus problemlos die gesamte Stadt erkundet werden kann.

Cons:

Das Frühstück bestand überwiegend aus abgepackten Lebensmitteln, die „entpackt“ angerichtet wurden. Pfannkuchen und Eier-Omelette waren regelmäßig kalt (aus der Verpackung im Kühlschrank in die Auslage)! Der Abräumservice in dem kleinen Frühstücksraum hätte besser/schneller und gründlicher funktionieren können. Einwegtischauflagen wurden teils mehrfach benutzt.
Anfragen per Email vor Reiseantritt wurden vom Hotel nicht beantwortet!

Cons:

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.I made my reservation well in advance and, on the actual day of check-in, when I contacted the accommodation to let them know what time I would be arriving, I was informed that they had experienced a system issue and that there were no rooms available.

I completely understand that technical issues or unexpected problems can happen, but the least they could have done was inform me in advance, rather than telling me when I was already in the city and had been relying on this reservation for a long time.

On top of that, the customer service was terrible. The woman I spoke to completely washed her hands of the situation and, instead of trying to find a solution or showing the slightest bit of empathy, she was quite rude.

A very disappointing experience, both in terms of how the reservation was handled and the customer service I received. I would never book here again and I definitely do not recommend this place.

FR:

EXPÉRIENCE HORRIBLE. J’avais effectué ma réservation longtemps à l’avance et, le jour même de mon arrivée, lorsque j’ai contacté l’établissement pour les prévenir de l’heure à laquelle j’allais arriver, on m’a informé qu’ils avaient rencontré un problème avec leur système et qu’aucune chambre n’était disponible.

Je comprends parfaitement que des problèmes techniques ou des imprévus puissent arriver, mais la moindre des choses aurait été de m’en informer à l’avance, plutôt que de me l’annoncer alors que j’étais déjà dans la ville et que je comptais sur cette réservation depuis longtemps.

De plus, le service client a été déplorable. La personne à qui j’ai parlé s’est complètement désintéressée de la situation et, au lieu d’essayer de trouver une solution ou de faire preuve d’un minimum d’empathie, elle a été assez désagréable.

Une expérience extrêmement décevante, tant au niveau de la gestion de la réservation que de l’accueil et du service client. Je ne réserverai plus jamais ici et je déconseille fortement cet établissement.

Buena estancia.
Pros:

La habitación estaba muy limpia, creo que renovada recientemente, con dimensiones suficientes para tres personas que pasan el día fuera, camas cómodas y sin ruido.

Cons:

No nos renovaron los artículos de aseo en dos días, y tuvimos que llamar los dos días para que nos dieran dichos artículos y poder ducharnos.
