We felt the entire team (sorry for not having the names!) in the hotel were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had a great experience from check-in, check-out, and helpful assistance from the concierge persons. The room was spacious––bigger than our expectation for Paris. The breakfast area was not as big as those in bigger hotels, and had less extensive selections, but it was adequate and delicious.
We particularly liked the cozy aspect of this hotel, located in a quiet area of what appears to be a busy part of the city. We also got a room facing the back of the hotel, away from the construction opposite. Our nights were quiet and we had very good sleep.
We also loved the water pressure of the shower––strong!
Out of our four nights of stay, there were two small issues:
1) On one of the days, our room was not made when we came back to our room at around 4pm. (This was an isolated incident, and did not happen again the the next day.) Perhaps it would be helpful if the rooms provide a "Please make up the room" sign like in some hotels.
2) On one of the afternoons, we decided to take a nap (around 4-5pm), we felt vibration in our room that probably came from the washing machine. Given the small size of the hotel, we felt that this is understandable.
These issues were minor and did not detract from our great experience at the hotel. We would love to stay in the same hotel again for our future visits.
Location is 5 stars. It's close to 3 metro stops and walking distance to Place de la Concorde.
Room is 3 stars based on US hotels. Of course, Paris hotel rooms are smaller than what we're used to, but Holiday Inn Express anywhere USA has larger rooms by far.
Pros are: in-room refrigerator to store breakfast foods if you aren't interested in buying the over priced (25-30 euro) hotel breakfast. A comfortable bed. Our rooms were on the non-street side of the hotel so, despite jack hammering going on at the building across the street, our rooms were quiet.
Cons are: rooms need some TLC. The paint was peeling off my closet and bathroom doors. The shower glass was hinged and only covered 1/2 of the tub so every shower essentially soaked the entire bathroom. It was also a bit precarious getting in and out of the shower as the grab bars were not located anywhere that you could use them to help you in or out of the tub. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone with limited mobility. It would be not only difficult, but dangerous.
The pillows are not to my liking as they are very high loft and kinked my neck. I did ask the front desk if they had another pillow option only to be told the most frequently used line at Maison Astor, "No, madame, no". It was explained that the pillows are new. I asked if I could use an old pillow and was told they did not exist any longer.
The coffee maker was a comedy show. In order to get it to brew, you had to stand and hold the plug into the wall otherwise it would shut off. Really Hilton? Really?
My room had a luggage rack, but my friend's did not. Why? Did hers end up in someone else's room when another guest asked for 2, never to be returned again?
Service: 1 star I don't know if the staff doesn't like Americans, doesn't like anyone, or just doesn't like me. Some of the staff were adequate, but most seemed to have skipped the customer service class or cultural training. Upon check in, I was simply handed my key. I had to ask where the elevator was. My husband is a Diamond Member with Hilton and I've never been with him when he wasn't offered information like where the elevator was, thanked for being a Diamond Member, told how to log onto the wi-fi, told what hours the restaurant and bar was open etc. Even upon checkout (and I'm going to say it was early morning on April 30 with the hopes Hilton might read this and train their staff) the man at the front desk charged my room on my friend's credit card and her room on mine. When asked if he could correct it, "No, Madame, no". Seriously, how hard is it? Then, we struggled with our luggage and wrestled with the front door to leave. He never offered to help and there was no bellman on duty at 5:30 am. He did not ask us how our stay was or wish us pleasant travels. It felt more like, "Let the door hit you on the @## on the way out and good riddance". Incredibly disappointing service.
However...Gold Star for the tall Bellman. He also filled in for the concierge when the concierge was on break. We had prior to our arrival corresponded by email with a concierge named Stephane who was incredibly helpful. I think it is possible that we were corresponding with the Bellman standing in for the concierge. So if the Bellman is Stephane, thank you for such wonderful service! He was sadly absent the last two days of our stay so we were unable to thank him for his assistance. He helped me set up the Citymapper app on my phone so we could navigate easily through the city, gave us great recommendations for restaurants and always greeted us with a big smile. There were 3 other concierges that we encountered (lots of concierges for a small hotel). One was pretty good, the other two (the one with glasses and good skin, the other with a full beard) I nicknamed Grumpy and Cranky. Again, do you hate Americans, people in general, or just me?
Service is great!
The hotel itself is very nice, exactly what you'd expect from a Hilton Curio property. The rooms are super nice, clean and have all the amenities you would need. The staff is amazing. Everyone from the door man to the bartender, to the front desk person are all 5 star! As a lifetime Diamond member, they even left a bottle of champagne and Macarons in my room when I checked in. We did have a little mishap during our stay, but the staff made things right. I would not hesitate to come here again.
Certainly, will NOT return.
Le personnel : Tout le monde (réception, concierge, services aux clients et au petit déjeuner) est extrêmement amical, agréable et disponible. Nous nous sommes sentis les bienvenus !
Chambre, propriété, équipements : Contrairement à d'autres commentaires, j'ai trouvé que la taille de la chambre était suffisante pour 3 personnes. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur l'une des photos, un lit d'appoint a été installé à la place du canapé. La salle de bains était plus petite, mais elle était suffisante pour le peu de temps que nous avons passé dans la chambre. Il n'est pas possible d'ouvrir la porte du "balcon" et nous étions face à la rue, mais la propriété est située dans un quartier très calme et nous n'avons donc pas eu de problèmes de bruit. Si vous souhaitez bénéficier de la traditionnelle vue sur la cour parisienne, demandez une chambre donnant sur l'intérieur. Il y a un petit ascenseur, mais nous avons rarement eu à attendre. L'hôtel fournit de l'eau filtrée à chaque étage et du chocolat le soir. Le petit déjeuner était correct - il y a une variété d'options, et vous pouvez commander des œufs de votre choix par l'intermédiaire du personnel. Nous avons commandé le service d'étage un soir, et la nourriture était tout juste acceptable.
Emplacement : L'établissement se trouve dans le 8ème arrondissement, mais très proche du 1er. Pour une première visite à Paris, j'ai trouvé l'emplacement pratique pour la plupart des attractions principales. Nous n'avons pas utilisé le métro, donc je ne peux pas parler de l'accessibilité, mais nous avons opté pour les taxis G7, qui étaient nombreux et nous n'avons jamais eu à attendre plus de 5 minutes une fois qu'ils ont été demandés.
Dans l'ensemble, nous avons apprécié notre séjour ! Merci d'avoir rendu notre voyage à Paris mémorable !
Le petit déjeuner est également super.
J'ai trouvé super la possibilité de se procurer de l'eau filtrée à l'étage.
La station de métro la plus proche est à environ 5 minutes.
