I stayed here as part of an England Rugby Travel package for the England v France Six Nations match. The hotel is in a convenient location, just a couple of minutes’ walk from Cambronne metro station, with easy connections to other parts of Paris. However, it’s not particularly close to the Eiffel Tower, which makes the hotel name a little misleading. The immediate surrounding area isn’t the nicest, but it’s perfectly fine for a short stay. On arrival, the reception area felt clean and welcoming. However, there was an issue with our check-in — while the rest of our group had rooms ready, one room in our party was not. We were initially asked to wait an hour, but when we returned it still wasn’t available, which was frustrating as it meant we were at risk of being late for pre-booked plans. To their credit, the receptionist did resolve this by offering an alternative room that was ready. The rooms themselves are quite small and don’t really match the photos online. They felt a bit basic and not particularly homely — carpet instead of laminate flooring would have made a difference — but they were clean, which is the most important thing. The bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. One downside is that the hotel sits on a very busy road junction, and traffic noise is noticeable at night even with the windows closed. Breakfast was a positive — the dining area was modern, there was a good selection of food and drinks, and staff were efficient at clearing tables. Overall, the hotel was perfectly adequate for a couple of nights and served its purpose, but I personally wouldn’t choose to stay here again on a return trip to Paris.

“Ideal location !”

Before we went, my friend emailed the hotel to explain it was my 30th and asked if there was anything they could do to make it special.

Before we went, my friend emailed the hotel to explain it was my 30th and asked if there was anything they could do to make it special. I done the same for him in a different hotel in Edinburgh last year and they were fantastic. This hotel instead ignored the email and put us in the smallest room I have ever stayed in with an absolute rubbish view. The bathroom was tiny. We were barely able to fit in and out of the shower ! We didn’t have a kettle either which normally you get when staying in hotel rooms. On arrival, we were told our room wouldn’t be ready for 2 hours. I paid to store my luggage and went out for a walk and a bite to eat. Around 40 minutes later we came back and miraculously our room was ready. I think they tell you it’s not done so that you pay to store your luggage personally. However, we couldn’t fault how beautiful the reception, bar and restaurant area was. It is in a good location with plenty of restaurants nearby. It’s not a far walk from the Eiffel Tower either. There is a Metro station not too far also. I wouldn’t necessarily stay here again but would recommend just based on location.
