Hôtel Le Richemont

Noisy till 1 am due to restaurant downstairs

Comfortable small hotel with great staff. Easy to get around by metro.

Good

This hotel is really nice, especially for the price. The location is a little out of the way, but there’s great access to the train. Don’t expect any views from your window. My main problem was the service was uneven. I asked for coffee in my room repeatedly and never got it except once. This forced me to pay the astounding 12 euros (more expensive than a breakfast out ) for a very mediocre continental breakfast. On one of those days when I had no option but to have the hotel breakfast, I came down an hour (AN HOUR!) before the breakfast was over and they were out of eggs, fruit and bread and quickly ran out of coffee. I was simply told those things were gone and no more was brought out. This is completely unacceptable considering the cost. Even if that weren’t the case 12 euros is way too much to charge.

Had a great time! Great Free Breakfast and nice staff. The location is a little off the beaten path but taking the Metro 15-20 minutes to all big tourist destinations works fine. The room was small but worked fine. Nice to have AC and a safe. Hotel seemed very newly remodeled and fresh!

The hotel has good decor and generally very good looking with all your needs but there are some problems we encountered. The sewage smell would enter the room when using the bathroom ventilation fan which turns on automatically when using the light switch, not nice at all. The service wasn't great, we were never told anything about the hotel, the area, local amenities etc. There was a guest info book in the hotel room though. The area isn't great for family, lots of drunks nearby, with terrible takeaway food outlets which you should avoid at all costs. Not family friendly at all.

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights and were very happy with it. The breakfast was very good, the room had everything you need, even a dryer for clothes. Would stay again in this hotel.

The first night we arrived, I witnessed a homeless man urinating in broad daylight just yards from the hotel entrance. He wasn’t even making a minimal effort to conceal himself. An hour later I was using a laundrymat about 400 feet from the hotel, when I witnessed an angry drunk throwing a full beer can at a guy. This left me with an unfavorable first-impression of the neighborhood (which would soon change somewhat). There were a fair number of homeless and immigrants, and I have to be completely honest, I wasn’t sure how safe the neighborhood was (for context, I spent a lot of time in seedy neighborhoods like Boston’s Combat Zone, and have traveled to France previously, as well as Honduras and some third-world nations... so I’m typically fairly hung-ho.) THAT SAID, I honestly think that the first impression was unfair. I ultimately spent a week there and had no further issues. As I got to know the neighgood and the people, I had some very good interactions with them which changed my perspective entirely. I think I just had bad luck that first night. As for the hotel, it was excellent. It had air conditioning and a mini-bar, and was very clean and spacious. Staff was pretty friendly and helpful, even to an American with virtually no French vocabulary beyond thank you and hello. The neighborhood had a few restaurants, markets, pharmacy, and laundry options nearby.

Air conditioner not working and poor service . Night shift staff seems know nothing to help customer. Very bad experience indeed.

Four-day staying, no AC whatsoever. We paid for the price to wish for a more comfortable lodging, yet, we had to endure through 4 days of staying; sleeping sweating at night, and kept on doing cold shower during the day. the Staff said: You can cancel because you didn't book the room with us, so please contact your booking agent",,," you can go, but we no refund no money to you". ha,,,they don't even have an ice maker,,,stingy hotel, doesn't deserve a name of 3-star hotel. We were hoping a nice comfortable 4-day trip, but it turned out we felt like being defrauded. I demand a refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
