“Good value close to RER”

Well located hotel, max 5 mins from RER. Would stay here again but is quite a strange setup. I think it is a repurposed office building made into a hotel…so you need to walk up two flights of brick stairs outside to ge to front door (1 star), breakfast room/communal areas (2 star) and room itself i… more

Well located hotel, max 5 mins from RER. Would stay here again but is quite a strange setup. I think it is a repurposed office building made into a hotel…so you need to walk up two flights of brick stairs outside to ge to front door (1 star), breakfast room/communal areas (2 star) and room itself is a 4 star hotel quality. Public underground car park at 17 euro per day was good value…so bit of a mixed bag but is good value overall.

indeed it is difficult to found as the entrance is not on them ain road and you have to go up the stairs. Getting up the stairs with luggage it is challenging. Room was great very big and family room was big enough for 4 persons. Nice decorated room, cleam and big bathroom . Breakfast was included and was very nice, very good which was unexpected for Paris city style hotel. Big vareity included freshly made on the spot ,waffles and croisant, fresh orange Juice etc.Actually the breaskfast was supe for Paris standards. Hotel offer free use of coffee, tea facilites in the lounge which is nice. Staff was very helpfull. The hotel was just few steps from trian station and 10 mins walk to metro. It was Xmas period and near the metro was one of the biggest Xmas market in Paris. The only negative the entrance and the stairs to the hotel entrance. The hotel was value for money for Paris stnadards although not at the city centre.

Biggest badest thing...3/4 flights of stairs to reception. Not good However. The room was clean, the bed was excellent, the bathroom was great. We hung the do no disturb on the door and housekeeping opened our door 3 times....my daughter has autism and was scared. I had to tell reception to askbggem not to clean our room for the duration of our stay. The hotel is in Nanterre. But all was very quiet. Near to the RER. Small supermarket, great bakery, which sadly was shut on Saturday and Sunday, shame because the bread and macarons were do tasty. Receptionist, the lady. Was lovely and helpful. No problems there. Would not stay again, due to stairs and proximity. Just a little too far from central Paris.
