I would NOT want anyone to stay at hotel richard. Although the price was great on a low budget, hotel richard is definitely not worth the stay. The receptionists were okay they were kind of nice. There is no elevator so hopefully if you packed a lot you don't have to walk up five flights of stairs. You share a... More

The hotel - if you can call it hotel - was filthy, bedding and towel was dirty, shower was broken. Receptionist was very rude. The room was renewed - painted walls, but stinks of paint. Fortunately, we stayed there only for a nights. Positive - good location, near metro station. Price: 181,50EUR/4nights/2people. We'll remember Paris from two sides: 1. beautiful... More

We stayed in December for a Long weekend break, didn't want to spend much as had planned to be out and about all day and night. I had read some reviews saying this was a bad place but the location was very good, so thought we would try it. When we got off the metro it was a minutes walk... More

This was the most disgusting place I have ever been! The shower in the middle of our room had such a terrible smell coming out of the drain that we had to sleep with the windows open in December! The bathrooms smell like pee and there is a good chance that the staircase is going to fall off the wall... More

A nice hostel without pretentious. We booked a twin but when we arrived we were given two single (same price). The photos that we think we are on line a few years ago because our rooms were new, newly renovated and painted. Very simple and well located (not far from Bastille). There are no common areas. Immediately below the hostel... More

True there is nothing fancy about this place, but most of these reviews are really freaking out! I have stayed at very nice hotels, and yes I know high end hotel quality, but Hotel Richard is a budget hotel and you pay for what you get! My experience was first, cheap price, good location, remodeled private rooms, shower hot and... More

We stayed there for three nights. We chose this place because of the price and location. As for Paris, other hotels are more expensive. This one was cheap and not far from the very centre. So we knew it would be basic. This wasn't a problem. The bathroom and showers were in a really bad state. They should definitely renovate... More

A friend and I stayed here for a quick 2 night stay in September. Funny little place with rickety stairs and mould on the shower door, but apart from the grubby appearance we found the place clean enough, just very worn. Very basic, white (although actually greyish) double room, with a couple of chairs, table, sink, and mirror. We were... More

We had to trudge up 5 narrow flights of incredibly weak feeling stairs (at one point I thought I would have fallen through and the last time I weighed myself I was 44 kg) should have looked at the room before I paid but that being said, when I got to the room it was the dirtiest looking bed I've...
