Negative Reviews

Hotel showing its age a little
Guests report that this hotel is starting to show its age somewhat which is a little disappointing. However, it seems that the hotel has been recently updating its accommodation so it is hoped that the rooms will all have a new look soon.
negative:
Rooms on the small side
According to feedback, some of the rooms at this hotel are quite small which isn't ideal. The shower facilities are also very snug which is particularly tricky for taller guests. Of course, it's worth bearing in mind that hotel rooms in Paris tend to be quite compact so it is likely that these rooms are a standard size for the city in this price range.
negative:
Lots of stairs and a small lift
This hotel has several flights of stairs which could be an issue for guests with mobility issues or heavy luggage. The alternative is to use the lift, but guests mention that this isn't ideal since it is quite small and sometimes out of service.
