Large bed, lounge to wait for room to be made up and polite staff

Location

It is very shabby and dreary from the moment you walk into the tiny lobby (single file only !) and everything about our room was tatty, old, chipped or broken . It was also the smallest double bed I’ve ever seen. The pictures on the internet bear no resemblance to the reality. The plaque outside says it was awarded 3 stars in 2012 but this rating only lasts 5 years so it expired in 2017. No wonder they haven’t renewed it! It is more like student accommodation . In fact I stayed in better places as a student 40 years ago. We paid for 3 nights but we were so miserable and uncomfortable, we moved out after only 1 night. Hey it’s Paris & life is too short to let a horrid hotel cast a blight on your trip. When we asked if we could move rooms, the receptionist said they were full but all the rooms were the same anyway! He was very polite & nice but had nothing to offer to make our stay more bearable.

Location was great. Service was also fairly good.

Our room was not at all like the one pictured online. There were large stains on the carpet and chair. One of the wall lights was missing its cover. The sole picture in the room was falling apart. The wifi was extremely weak. I could go on, but you get the picture. My partner and I were very disappointed with the room.
