Hôtel Havane

Location. The room was huge for Europe, and breakfast simple, but fresh and good. Facilities were clean. They did not help us to check in earlier, and we think they could. Safe box could be included in the rate. Wifi did not work, and the local computer were so bad and difficult to use.

The locatio of the hotel was the best. Close to the metro and main sites, but away from the noisy Lafayette. 1) Breakfast: real French, but too small. Better to use cafes / brassieries around for the same money; 2) when i was leaving the hotel, I asked for a taxi 30 min prior to leaving. When i came down, taxi was not there. The staff could not help in finding taxi. I had to do it on my own in rain and with a heavy suitcase.

The facilities were old and in disrepair. Carpet you don't want to walk on, towels washed but stained, toilet without button to flush. We walked past dozens of hotels in the area that were cleaner, lower priced, and more modern - either they were not represented on booking.com or they were already booked. Waste of one night and 200€.
