“Choice hotel with very helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

We had a lovely long weekend in Paris and our hotel room at the Viator made it even better!

Our top floor room 606 had a large double window that allowed a decent view over the neighboring rooftops all the way to the Bastille monument. The room was cozy (as are most Paris apartments), but was equipped with a large bathroom and shower, as well as a small closet, LCD TV, desk and chair.

The staff was very helpful allowing us to use their internet connection to print several vouchers we'd forgotten. We tried the free WIFI on our mobile phone, but it didn't work and we didn't lose sleep over it. Breakfast was hearty, including pastries, baguettes, cheese, cereal, tea, yogurt and more.

The hotel is right next to Gare du Lyon, which allows for many combinations of metro and RER lines around the city. Consider taking the A and D RER lines directly to Chatelet or Etoile instead of the slower metro line 1.

Overall, a great stay and many others think the same as this hotel was completely booked two of the four nights we were there.

“right hotel for a weekend in paris”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2009

First of all, the location of the hotel is great. We went by car and had no trouble getting into Paris (as the hotel is situated quite close to the peripherique), and a very good parking is nearby. Nevertheless you're close to the centre, and walking by foot to the Marais is no problem (on the way you'll pass the Bastille metro station to head off to other directions). The neighbourhood is very nice (and comfortable to walk through at night), the Viaduct des arts is right around the corner. The staff was really friendly (we spoke french though), and the room was okay - quite small, but very clean and giving a 'Paris-feeling' with a high window and a view over the roofs of Paris. Our room was situated next to the elevator, which caused a bit noise at night though. Also a minus was the mattress (an old one with springs). But for 2 nights that's absolutely doable. After all I think it's a good place for someone who wants to stay in a clean and safe surrounding with good and quick access to the rest of Paris.

“Do not go there”

This establishment is a rip-off. They took 80 Euros of of money. They do not deliver what they promise. We left and found another hotel.

Stay away at all cost. Do not even do business with organisations that refer people there.

“Never again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2009

person found this review helpful

Very small room, even for European standard. Awful mattress. No stand for the luggage. Had to put the luggage on the floor and we had no space to walk. Free WiFI internet never worked. The A/C was not working in our room and it was 28C outside! 2nd room offered had the same problem. After threatening to leave, they offered us a room on the higher floor which was hardly better with the A/C working at 10% of it's capacity. The host said he did not know the A/C was not working! How could he not? The reception room was so hot!!!!! 2 people with luggage cannot even fit in the tiniest elevator I have ever seen! Would never go back even if it was free!

“Ideal Hotel”

A value for money hotel in a great position.Handy to everything.A bit noisy with traffic but closing the double windows fixed that. We were allowed in our room early and after a twenty four hour flight that was greatly appreciated.The reception staff were extra helpful even down to finding a charger for my wifes Phone (at no cost) which we had forgot to bring.I would have hesitation in recomending this hotel.
