“Good if you know what to expect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

FYI: I stayed her for a business trip for a meeting at the OECD. The hotel was good overall, but you have to have appropriate expectations for a 3 star hotel in Paris.

The good: friendly staff, easy commute by bus or metro to the OECD, walking distance to the Eiffel Tower (but a long walk), good cafes and a small grocery store in the area. Rooms are very small, but clean and comfortable, once you get used to the size. No a/c, but windows open to get a nice breeze. Rooms in the #1 and #2 (and #3?) tiers have very good internet, which is included; however, wireless is spotty in the #7 tier (which is a separate but connected building). There is a nice terrace, with a partial view of the eiffel tower. Front desk staff is very friendly. Very good rates for the area. Modern bathrooms, but very small. There are towel warmers, but I did not try them since it was summer.

The bad: very small rooms; no a/c; rooms on the street side can be a bit noisy. Breakfast is very overpriced at 11 Euros for a continental breakfast, however, even if you add in the extra 11 Euros, the rates are still very good for the area. I would recommend you skip the hotel breakfast--you can pick up some food at the grocery store and bakery around the corner (keep in mind these keep Parisian business hours). Only one really tiny elevator--it's enough to get one medium suitcase up to your room, but not much else! Plan to take the stairs the rest of your stay. Also, this is an independent hotel, so there are regular metal keys, which you leave at the front desk (not key cards). Finally, the decor is outdated and grungy but clean (e.g. faded wall paper, discolored carpet). Bathrooms are very, very tiny.
This hotel could be difficult to manage if you have any limited physical capabilities.

Room Tip: If you don't mind a little noise from the street, ask for a room in the #1 tier (e.g. 21, 31, 41...

“Poussin means small!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I often buy poussin chicken from sainsburys so I should have known what to expect!! (lol)
Ok, it was tiny how i even got in the shower?? but after saying that,It was really clean towels changed daily and it was cheap.
I have heard that alot of hotels in France are pretty basic so that being the case I think we got a good deal. It is close to the metro which is not far from the centre.On one occasion we came back from the eiffel tower and the cost was 8 euros so not bad for such an expensive city and Paris IS expensive.
We stayed for 4 nights and if you are looking for accomodation for that length of time only then I would reccomend it.
One final comment omg! the lift is that tiny it was a massive squeeze to get the two of us in plus light luggage we just collapsed laughing!!! If you go with that attitude you'll have a good time.

“Tiny Hotel rooms and no airconditioning”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

We were disappointed in the location and amenities at Hotel Poussin. Reviews said it has airconditioning. NO IT DOES NOT. Our room had NONE. I am not talking about it just didn't work well - it didn't have ANY and it is sweltering hot in June in Paris.
Room was also tiny tiny and the hotel is located in Auteil which is not what they say in the reviews - it is hugely expensive cab fares and a difficult subway ride with lots of changes to go to anything you'd want to sightsee. On the positive side - the people at the desk are friendly and there are a lot of nice restaurants around there because it is an upscale area where people live. It's a terrible location for people wanting to sightsee in Paris however - expensive transportation to CDG airport too.
