Booked this trip as a birthday present for my mum - she was so excited as she’d never been to Paris.
Unfortunately it didn’t get off to a great start and we were unimpressed with the hotel. The room we were put in was literally right next to the reception desk (~1m) which meant it was extremely noisy - noise from reception, the street and the bar (not advised on the booking).
Mum suffers with various respiratory issues so I intentionally booked a hotel with air conditioning. Unfortunately the ‘air conditioning’ in this hotel is a building system rather than room specific so we could not use air con. The hotel could not provide a fan instead and advised to open a window. This was not possible at night due to being on the ground floor and facing the street.
We were offered to move to a different room so we could open a window but expected to pay double what I’d already paid!!
If I’d have know the room was on the ground floor, with no air con, fan or the option to open a window, I wouldn’t have booked the room at all.
Security was also a concern - you’re asked to give reception your key when leaving but when we returned to collect the key, they don’t ask for a name or any details.. just give the room number and they hand over the key. Could be given to anyone!
The hotel was generally clean and in good condition, although the door handle literally fell off the bathroom door so we could not shut it properly.
