Hôtel Scarlett

“Overpriced tiny rooms.”

This hotel is sooo tiny. I literally could not believe how everything feels so cramped and I have travel a lot across Europe, so it's definitely not about American standards versus European ones.

This hotel is sooo tiny. I literally could not believe how everything feels so cramped and I have travel a lot across Europe, so it's definitely not about American standards versus European ones. I also found the ventilation off so with the wall to wall carpet, it was stuffy and smelled moldy. The staff also barely speaks English and just seem unable to make decisions without checking in with the big boss, who I guess owns another sister hotel and is quite missing in action.

“Not Unpleasant but did not convert me from Airbnbs”

Very conveniently situated hotel. Not spotless (some dust and carpets could have done with more careful hoovering) but comfortable. Fabulous shower with great pressure (a consideration for washing long hair!). Comfortable bed and pillows, good quality towels. Only French speaking channels wi… more

Very conveniently situated hotel. Not spotless (some dust and carpets could have done with more careful hoovering) but comfortable. Fabulous shower with great pressure (a consideration for washing long hair!). Comfortable bed and pillows, good quality towels. Only French speaking channels with no English subtitles but this mattered little to us as we were out and about a lot. There is a lift to all floors - but it is very small and a tight squeeze even for 3 people. We booked 2 rooms, one superior and one classic. Unfortunately our specific request to ensure the superior was allocated to the couple - not the single person - went ignored, so when we realised the mix up we needed to swap rooms (purely on the principle the couple had paid more for the superior room). Actually though, the superior room was only marginally bigger and was at the front, which was much, much noisier outside (Light sleepers should consider ear plugs). There are no hot drink facilities in the room (only cold drinks from the mini bar). We had one very helpful night receptionist (Saturday) show us where to get some hot water to take up to our rooms (including China cups) and the next morning (Sunday) a day receptionist who responded to my request to purchase 3 coffees to take to our rooms by telling me they didn’t have suitable cups to take to the rooms. So instead, I walked to a local restaurant to purchase 3 takeaway coffees. Worth noting that the thermostat in both rooms did nothing at all and was stuck on 20, even if you tried to change it. Overall, it was conveniently situated but I do not feel comfortable with how much we paid and, as it is likely we will be frequenting that area again, I would look for an Airbnb next time - if anything, just to guarantee access to a kettle! 😆

“Meets expectations - just!”

The room was good as per photos. The location of Belleville is excellent - true Paris and very multi cultural a great place to explore and hang out. The hotel does what it says and no more. There is no tea or coffee making facilities, only 1 shelf at the top of the wardrobe so not convenient. There… more

The room was good as per photos. The location of Belleville is excellent - true Paris and very multi cultural a great place to explore and hang out. The hotel does what it says and no more. There is no tea or coffee making facilities, only 1 shelf at the top of the wardrobe so not convenient. There were 2 wine glasses but only 1 plastic one for water. We asked for a quiet room but were still on the side of the road which was noisy.
