This was a good choice for me - close to La Defense Arena but it was a long way from the natural world with loads of sky scrapers , shops and acres of concrete . Some buildings had seen better days . Apart from a kettle in the room the hotel was good with helpful staff . Enjoyed the breakfast .

Budget hotel so didn’t expect loads and it’s fine for a night or two. The staff at check in was conversational but quite rude to me in that it was me (female) checking in and making conversation, but he was only talking to my male partner? It didn’t really make sense that he was only looking and talking to him, when I was the one talking and with the information - and it was my name on the booking. Quite rude.

The room itself was basic but seemed clean. The 2 plugs in the room are so close together that you can only plug 1 thing in at once. The lights in the bathroom constantly flickered and there were hairs around the sink, but I appreciated that soap was available.

The hotel is quite confusing to get to but was close to the coach stop to the airport. The reception was leaking due to the rain.

Wouldn’t stay again.

What hotel doesn’t have outlets on each side of the bed these days?
Only toiletries available is soap and only one size towel.
Chairs don’t have furniture pads. You should hear the screeching coming from above. Between the careless dragging of chairs and the yelling in the hallways. It is like a frat party.
This hotel is neither “modern”, nor is it a three star. There are better options around.

Nice stay

On arrival the staff were very friendly and engaging. Check in was reasonably quick and they even gave my child some welcome biscuits.
The room was fairly standard but comfortable. The view of the river was a bonus. The child bed folded out from a side desk but was not so comfortable because the top of the desk over hung the bed a bit and was easy to hit while sleeping.
The train station is minutes away and goes directly to Arc de triomphe, which is a good hub to access the rest of Paris.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel as there are few issues and many positives.

Check-in time not as advertised

Confirmation from hotels.com says check-in is from 12 noon.
When I got to there they told me check-in was from 14:00 but that I could pay €30 to check-in early… I showed the staff my confirmation email, but they didn’t seem interested in getting this corrected for any future guests. They even told me I wasn’t the first one… This is clearly a case of false advertising where they are trying to squeeze more money out of their clients. I understand that mistakes can happen but as no-one wants to correct this mistake it seems deliberate.

If visiting Grande Arch about a 15 min walk. Room a bit warm and couldn't open windows but borrowed a hotel fan, no issues. Staff really friendly! Lifts busy around 9am. Breakfast buffet okay limited with more Euro types of food, with some scrambled eggs and bacon. Not too expensive. Would stay again. Recommended.

Not good

I know hotel standards are lower in Europe than in North America, but this hotel is more reminiscent of a motel room than a 3 star hotel. The rooms were very outdated and looked more like student dormitories - plain white bathrooms, no art, ugly wall painted orange. Cleaning was not good, and one night my room was not cleaned at all. Breakfast was mediocre. Customer service was average.
Also, for a hotel in a business district, you would you expect for there to be an iron in your room but instead you have to go to a room in the basement to iron your clothes.

Only good thing is that the metro is nearby.

But watch for the stairs if you have luggage. We took Metro thinking the location is close, and found out we need to climb so many stairs. I'm not talking about stairs inside Metro, they are stairs outside to go to the hotel. That is a big disadvantage for this location.
Plus there are no shops around to buy things, also no restaurants. You have to go to next door Noveltel hotel to eat.

Clean and affordable, but somewhat pokey

Does what it says on the tin - it's an expensive part of town to get a room so it's probably not too surprising that, for one of the more affordable prices in the area, you get a somewhat pared-back experience.

American guest may feel crowded and cramped

I think as an american we are used to bigger hotel rooms. I knew this was a 3 star hotel but I had a hard time navigating around the room. Very cramped and not much space for clothing or closet space. Most of these hotels will list how many square feet or square meters the room is, the more expensive being bigger.
I found this hotel at a loss for breakfast meals, same thing every day and not much to offer.
I found the bar and food at the bar to be microwave only.
For the same price I could have stayed directly next door with room service and full accommodations.
I also found a totally nicer hotel a few hundred yards away for very similar cost.
For laundry service you can iron clothes in a room in the basement. It works and you do it yourself, but no iron in your room.

Lack of small notes at the hotel

I was really surprised that the hotel front desk and the restaurant were lack of small notes (Euro currencies). I tried to get change for a $50 Euro note at the front desk when I first arrived to pay for the taxi ride, but the front desk lady said they did not have any. The same thing happened when I paid my bill at the hotel restaurant. They did not have the small change for a $50 Euro note. Perhaps the hotel can gather some small changes/notes at the front desk. Having said these, another staff member was very pleasant and polite when I checked out at the front desk. The quality of service varies a lot.
