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:

The lobby

Cons:

The breakfast is poor (full of cakes ans some OJ) there is NO cleaning service so I got new towel only once when I was there a full week. More so my door was broken and since there is no reception it took me over 5 h to find someone to open it- it was late to my flight.

No one wrote me or replied my emails the next day or even cared

Calme, propre, agréable, je recommande
Pros:

Le Check-in se fait en autonomie mais arrivées avant l’heure définie je me suis rendue à l’accueil où j’ai été très bien accueilli, on m’a même attribué une chambre déjà prête pour ne pas me faire entendre.
La chambre était propre, tout confort, moderne.
Même si l’hôtel est en dehors de Paris, l’accès est facile et très bien desservis pour rejoindre le centre de Paris.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner est plutôt sommaire et toujours pareil mais il a le mérite d’exister

Pros:

I like the a/c in the room, the friendly staff, the proximity to Paris and transportation.

Cons:

A small refrigerator in the room would be very welcomed. The breakfast wasn't so great. Plain croissant, some bread, butter, yogurt and tea/coffee/ milk/orange juice.
Unfortunately, no honey, no jam, no eggs.

No és el que esperàvem
Pros:

Habitacions espaioses, cómodes i netes
Bones opcions d entreteniment, sales de jocs, gym, el terrat etc...,

Cons:

Que no hi hagués personal a recepció
Esmorzar pobre, i si arribes tard no reposen res.
L' ambient era com si fós una residència d estudiants, cosa que no ens esperàvem.
Per estar a les afores de Paris, el preu és car.

Pros:

Chambre climée, spacieuse, bien située, propre

Cons:

J'ai réservé le jour même en raison d'une urgence personnelle pour 2 nuits. Je suis repartie à l'issue de la 1ère. Réponse de l'établissement, annulation possible au plus tard 3 jours avant. Sachant que j'ai réservé le jour même, je vois difficilement comment j'aurais pu annuler 3 jours avant
