The room was decent but has changed a lot since I visited last time; not well air conditioned and smell out of the bathroom. I felt it wasn’t worth the money. Would have been ok if the price included breakfast to offset the condition of the room.

Clive

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We liked the location which was close to the metro and a short walk across the bridge to Neuilly which we really like. However, we thought this was a poor 4 star hotel. - air conditioning in the room was poor which was not ideal when it was so hot over our stay - the safe in the room was broken - the hotel and room generally seemed in need of update - we stayed in this hotel many years ago and it does not appear to have changed since - reception staff seemed not interested, and certainly not welcoming. On arrival, 2 reception staff were sitting talking in a separate room - certainly not business from body language, after some time waiting they came out, no bonjour, no welcome, just a look as we had disturbed their conversation. I may be wrong but it seems this hotel is so full of large group tours, they forget the individual. - On leaving, reception again - wanted to charge a second time for city taxes which I had already paid on arrival. However, it was for me to prove I had paid so had to open my bank app to prove it - it seems they had problems with their IT systems which had not updated the payment - a minor but indicative point, 2 small paper cups in the room for tea / coffee.

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.
