This is a strange hotel, with a huge contrast between the good points and the bad points.
On the positive side, this hotel is very close to the two train stations Gare de l’Est and Gare du Nord. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was great. The design of the room was stylish, especially the mirror in the bathroom. If my assessment was based only on theses points, the 3 stars would be well deserved.
Unfortunately there are also the bad points. First, it looks like the rooms have been refurbished by a good designer but bad workers. It gives you a feeling of “work in progress”. The door of the bathroom does not close. The sink has no bond. The cleaning is “approximative”. There are apparent nails here and there. We found large used slippers under the bed, which implies the cleaning is not done regularly at this place.
Then, we had a big security issue: the staff gave us a key to a room that had already occupants. That means we could have stolen all the stuff from these occupants without anyone noticing. When we went back to the reception, to ask for another room, they gave us another room… that also had occupants !! This type of security issue should just not happen. That is the reason why I cannot give a good assessment.
