Nice hotel for a good price. Located in the business district but only a short journey on the metro into the centre of Paris.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is conveniently located next to a large mall and subway station for easy/convenient access to central Paris. The room was large and clean with a great, unobstructed view of central Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. Staff at the front desk were all very present and helpful

Located conveniently for tourists, or business travelers
Osaren, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A hotel very close to the metro to gain access to all of Paris but without staying in the middle of the city. Shame evening restaurant is no longer using the breakfast room to allow the current room to return to being a bar/bar snacks room for sitting and chatting. The lobby area is impersonal.
Martin, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was good, it was clean and staff were nice. However, the beds and pillows are extremely uncomfortable which and toilet clogged easily.
Jacqueline, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay

Generally good but would have been nice to have bottled water, iron and ironing board in the room rather than having to ask for one.

This hotel is horrible looks like a motel
Rodrigo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely tiny rooms, rude staff especially the restaurant staff. As such nothing is there in the restaurant but on top of that the staff is mostly unfriendly unavailable snd rude. The frontdesk is unwelcoming too and makes you suffer for anything & everything!
SAURABH ANAND, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

100 meters from the metro line 1 so straight to paris center in 10 minutes, and lots of great restaurants in Levalois or Courbevoie and La Defense within walking distance. On the river so great views of Monmatre and eifel tower
Paul, 6-night trip

Very good, nice people. The inconvenientes is a restaurants, no good services in this area
Fanny, 6-night trip

Great views from the room looking at the river and the Eiffel tower. That was the highlight for us. Commute to central Paris on ligne 1 was straightforward and convenient.
Salem, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is perfect and the staff is friendly but they should reconsider the cleanliness issue
YOUSSEF, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, few mins to M1 station, nice and clean room, good river view with Eiffel Tower, welcome gift for small kids, standard hotel buffet breakfast, the only feedback is the ventilation of the room could improved, it’s a bit weak

Mostly good
Robert, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was reasonable clean and in a nice area, but very dated. Rooms need renovation, looks like it hasn't been done since the 80s with wood chip wall paper. Definitely not a 4 star hotel.
