Hotel De L’Aqueduc

“A pleasant stay”

Positives: Quite a good location near to Metro stations & train station so good for travelling around. Shops & food places nearby. Beds were comfy. Has a lift which is handy if you're on a higher floor. Breakfast was served until 11am. Negatives: Room was quite small & had a few damp issues, but I… more

Has a lift which is handy if you're on a higher floor. Breakfast was served until 11am. Negatives: Room was quite small & had a few damp issues, but I suppose it's an old building. Not a massive choice of hot food at breakfast. Ubers didn't seem to want to pick up at the hotel, so we had to go down the street to order one.

Good price We booked this hotel based on our budget for the weekend and from the reviews of hotels at this price point, and for what we paid we were happy with our stay. We would return, although we would do somethings differently. We booked a superior room, this was compact but comfortable. Importantly it was very clean and the beds were very comfortable - two important boxes ticked. In the room there was tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer, a safe you can hire, and the shower powerful with plenty hot water - everything you need really. I didn’t see the standard rooms but I would book a superior room again if I returned. The hotel provided ear plugs but I didn’t find the noise too bad, during the night was fine but in the morning you could hear the trains but you’re in a city after all - there’s always noise. I knew about the security deposit/block beforehand so I was prepared for this. All of the staff working at the hotel were very nice, one evening they even let us borrow an umbrella for the rain. The only thing which isn’t great about the hotel is the area which it in. It’s a good location for the train station from the airport and there are two metro stations nearby so that’s good. Metro is cheap at €2:15 per single journey, so easy and cheap to get around. Walking around nearby during the day was fine, however when we arrived at midnight and had to walk from the train station it didn’t feel safe (two ladies). When we went out on the Saturday night we got the metro to the Bastille area, but when coming home we opted for a taxi to drop off at the door rather than another midnight walk (this was only €15). If returning this is what I’d do differently, the train from the airport was around €24 for two of us, where we then had the 10/15 mins walk, an uber back to the airport was €34 - so next time I’d get an Uber to the door. So essentially use taxis late at night otherwise location good for transport links and during the day.
