Really nice front desk, but 3 concerns. 1.) I came 1 hour after their check in time and they still didn’t have the room ready. Very annoying after a long travel day. 2.) The same cleaning person came in 3x while I was sleeping (within the same hour), waking me up each time 3.) The pillowcase had a large stain on it so the cleanliness was questionable. All valid concerns so I wouldn’t stay here again.

Idol hotel.
Pros
The cost of staying at this hotel was reasonable compared to others within close range to the Eiffel Tower. You don't get a view of the tower though; but that was not a necessity for me.

The hotel is in a strategic part of Paris and most site attractions are within walking distance - get good walking shoes - or are at most 20 minutes away by taxi.
I walked to Champs des Elysees, Arc du triomphe, Eiffel tower/seine River, Printemps, Mont marte/ Basilica, Jovoy perfume store, Nose perfume store... I like to walk; but if walking is not your thing, taxis (G7) are easily accessible from the app, or take Uber/bolt.
The hotel is not rowdy, they are security conscious and are ready to meet your needs - within limits.

There is a restuarant right across the street and a grocery store a few feet from the hotel.

Cons
The rooms are way smaller than pictured. I personally will not share a room.
I was there for 5 nights but was told that I was only entitled to JUST ONE small bottle of water in the fridge - any thing else, I would have to pay for.
I just went to the grocery store close by and did a few shopping.

Over all I would recommend this hotel to someone traveling solo - as I did - and for the strategic location.

We like the location, close to Europe metro and Gare St-Lazare. You can take the metro from Orly airport. Walking distance from parc Monceau, Sézane for shopping or a boulangerie.
We did not like the shower in the room not in a separate room, no privacy. Room where not sound proof, got woken up by room cleaning staff in other rooms or by other doors slamming. Also, lots of truck noise in the street at odd hours. Light sleepers should user ear plugs. Also, no ventilation in room to evacuate steam from shower and the shower was leaking into the toilet cubicle, most likely moldy.
We wanted to live only a few minutes after getting the room, stayed only because we could not cancel.
this is like 2 or 3 stars.

The hotel is stylish, well located, and has a fun, quirky design. The rooms were clean, with plenty of storage, and the staff were friendly.

However, it’s important to choose your room carefully. I was travelling with a friend and we booked a Moon Blue Room as it had twin beds. The photos do show that the shower is visible from the room, but this isn’t immediately obvious unless you look closely. We would normally expect a private shower.

The hotel did contact us in advance to flag this and suggested upgrading to a Light My Fire room for €15 per night, which I agreed to and believed had been confirmed. Unfortunately, on arrival, the booking had not been updated and the hotel was unable to move us. We asked about alternative arrangements, including separate rooms, but this wasn’t accommodated, and the front desk staff didn’t seem able to resolve the issue.

As a result, using the shower was inconvenient, and it also leaked during our stay.

Overall, it’s a great concept in a very good location, but the experience was let down by the room setup and the handling of the booking issue. I would recommend double-checking your room type if privacy is important to you

Good location close to metro. However the room (Feeling Good/Junior Suite) did not have central heating or a heating unit. There was a space heater in the room only. The shower/hammam was not separate so the room got humid/foggy quickly. The wallpaper was peeling. Switch cover for the lights was not attached to the wall. Seems it may have been nice initially but now not upkept. Nice lobby. Honest bar at night.

It was a bit unusual that the shower was in the main room, but it adds to the eclectic charm this hotel offers. Every room is decorated differently.

Good bang for buck, but very poor sound insulation

The value for money is great at Idol Hotel: Good service, comfortable bed and not too far from the Metro. However, the sound insulation has a lot to be desired --- you will hear other guests as soon as they open the door. As an establishment frequently visited by tourists, they will wake you up late at night or early in the morning. As long as you check in with this expectation in mind, you will have a enjoyable stay here.

The hotel is close to public transportation, bus stops are nearby and 8-10 minute walking distance to Saint-Lazare Gare train station. Bed comfort is good but pillow is a bit high. On the other hand, sound insulation is not good; however, the hotel locates in a quiet neighborhood. Another drawback is that the toilet is separate from the bathroom. Breakfast is OK with limited options.

We had a troublesome stay at this property. The power went out one night we were there and we returned to the hotel as it happened. Naturally we couldnt get into our rooms as the locks were electronic. After hours of waiting, we got in manually with still no power, so no air-conditioning in the peak of summer. The following mornjng when the power was restored, there was.np hot water. A bit of a nightmare but the hotel was proactive and gave me a refund for both rooms for that night. Other than that, the hotel was clean, modern and great value for money. Would stay again..

Appreciated the free espresso, tea in lobby. Small grocery store down the street. Close to metro was a major plus. Great bar down the road across the corner. \"Paris is always a good idea\" as Audrey once said and I will add that the Idol is always a great place to stay when visiting. I can't close without thanking the staff for their kindness and the pre-visit survey from them was unique and so personalized! Merci Beaucoup :)

Funky and friendly, decent value

This hotel has a really fun decor style and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We felt it was good value for money. There was a metro station nearby that connects to major sightseeing places but the connection to Charles de guille airport was not direct (although easier once we had worked out the different rail systems by the time we left). The breakfast was fine, with croissants, cheeses, cold meats and a small heated buffet of scrambled eggs and sausages. We thought it was a bit limited for a 4 star hotel. There was a coffee machine in the foyer and also free espressos available in the room. The room was cleaned to an excellent standard each day. We stayed in the Moon Blue room which included a balcony but unfortunately there was building work across the street so we didn't use this. There is a crack in the mirror which detracts from the aesthetic but isn't dangerous. We found the walls thin and wore ear plugs to sleep on the first night as we had noisy neighbours. Personally we found the pillows were too high but we like quite shallow pillows as we are both side sleepers. Otherwise a comfy bed.
