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:

Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν μοντέρνο και άνετο

Cons:

Το πρωινό ήταν απογοητευτικό.
Η πρόσβαση ήταν δύσκολη και κανείς δεν απαντούσε στα τηλέφωνα.
Θα μπορούσε να είναι και πιο καθαρό

Pros:

Nic

Cons:

Brak kompetencji i logicznego myślenia oraz to że zostałem oszukany. Zrobiłem rezerwację i zapłaciłem z góry po czym na miejscu w hotelu okazuje sie że nie ma dla mnie pokoju (otrzymałem potwierdzenie rezerwacji) i otrzymam zwrot pieniędzy ale tak sie jednak nie stalo

Un buon hotel ricavato da uno studentato, quartiere tranquillo poco fuori Parigi
Pros:

Albergo moderno collegato a Parigi dall'autobus della linea 57. Generalmente pulito ad eccezione dello spazio comune destinato alla colazione.

Cons:

Colazione estremamente scarsa e poco varia. Viene servita sullo stesso tavolo su cui sono appoggiate le pietanze, poco igienico. Non è possibile regolare la temperatura dell'aria condizionata in stanza poiché a controllo centralizzato. Non è possibile aprire le finestre se non a ribalta. Letto matrimoniale ad una piazza e mezza. Prezzo un po' eccessivo. Gli autobus della linea che collega l'hotel al centro non sono dotati di aria condizionata.

Pros:

There is a share kitchen and fridge where you can put your stuff in. For such a hot weather is really good to have a fridge.

Cons:

No staff at the hotel, even it stated at level -1 there is staff to help. But if you contact them online, they replied quite fast. The room temperature you can’t change on your own.

Худший отель в Париже!
Pros:

Единственный плюс размещения в том, что было чисто.

Cons:

1. Район в котором было размещение — отвратительный. Возле их хостела собирались толпы непонятных людей и кричали. На дороге возле отеля ездят неадекватные люди на мотоцикле на заднем колесе. Женщинам категорически не советую оставаться здесь на ночевку!

2. Никакого персонала у них нет. Рецепции также нет. Все делаешь самостоятельно. Мы написали в отель в 19:00, но получили ответ только в 10 утра, так как у них это не рабочее время. Так как на рецепции никого нет — остается делать все самостоятельно.

3. Завтра — худший со всех, которые мы видели за свою жизнь. Все что там было — круасан, сок и 1 йогурт. Не рассчитывайте здесь нормально покушать.

4. В номере целую ночь невозможно было спать. Мы остановились в номере 107. Целую ночь за стенкой работал смыв воды. Каждый раз как кто-нибудь на всех этажах выше ходил в туалет или в душ — у нас было невероятно громко. Это продолжалось ВСЮ НОЧЬ до самого утра.

Категорически не советую никому здесь останавливаться! Цена за такой номер может быть максимум 50 евро!

Pros:

La chambre était propre et fonctionnelle.

Cons:

L'hôtel est bruyant, voir très bruyant. Dans mon cas, une personne faisait tourner une machine à laver à l'étage au dessus et malheureusement l'hôtel étant complet il n'était pas possible de changer de chambre. Le petit déjeuner est limité. Il y a beaucoup d'odeurs dans les couloirs. Compte tenu du prix je suis un peu déçue.
