“not as bad as I expected....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

After reading all the reviews, i was a bit apprehensive about staying here but since i was going on a tour and this was the chosen accommodation, i had no choice. I expected it to be so much worse than it was. Considering that we went on a budget tour, the room was clean, and small (although most hotels in Paris are small) and had all the relevant amenities you would expect from a 3 star hotel. the only thing that bothered me about the hotel, is when you switched the small passage light off, the plug points would not work. i only realised this the next day after noticing that my phone was not charged at all.
there is a lot of development around and this is definitely not the pretty, romantic side of Paris, but this was not expected going on a budget tour.
A big plus, is that the subway station is about 100metres away from the hotel which makes it really easy to get around!

“Wouldn't stay here again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

There is a lot of development and building work in the immediate vicinity although, staying on the 6th floor, we were not disturbed by noise. The reception were friendly and welcoming but the room was small and the bathroom badly in need of refurbishment as the paint was peeling on the skirting boards, the bath was scratched and worn, grouting a bit grim and just generally tired and unwelcoming. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to lie and soak in there. Also noticed a large stain on the landing carpet. The breakfast was fine but we found the tables uncleared and some of the chairs had split seats and needed replacing and I had to ask for a plate as they had run out.
We got a cheap rate booking on the Internet but if I'd paid the stated room rate of €123 I would not have been happy so I was pleased it was only for one night.

Room Tip: With the development going on all around the hotel ...I think they are putting in a tram line, I wou...

“Great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Room was small but clean.
My bed was comfy but the side was up against the wall which was a bit annoying.
There was a bar fridge in the room - very useful for keeping your own food in. There is an internet cafe a 5-minute walk away which is handy. Also a subway stop very close.
The bathroom had a retractable washing line across the bath - very handy. No iron. We put up the 'do not disturb' sign when we went out that day, but came back to find that the room had been made up. Annoying and disrespectful.
Breakfast was great but there was an incredibly long line and the way the room was set up made it awkward and cramped when getting your food. But the staff made sure to get the tables prepared right away when one became available.

“Fine hotel for a Paris trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011
1

The Forest Hill hotel is close to the Perpherique, so easy reachable by car. A car parc is close, underneath the Cité des sciences et de l'Industrie. The best part is the metro station which is just around the corner. This great line get's you to downtown Paris in just 15 minutes. The rooms are clean

Room Tip: The staff makes some noise in the night if you have a room at the end of the hallway. Choose a room...
