It's very rare for me to leave a one star review but I'm going to on this occasion because I can't recommend anyone stays here. The room was incredibly dark, even during the day, thanks to metal shutters over the window which couldn't be easily opened and only a couple of tiny overhead lights on one side of the room. The air conditioning built into the room didn't work: I don't mean we couldn't figure out how to work it, I mean the plastic control box was physically broken. So instead, the hotel had provided a portable air conditioner but the only place to vent it was to shove the exhaust pipe out of the ground floor window and into the street outside, and sleep with the window open (not good in hot weather, with traffic noise and passing sirens outside).
Then the ants showed up. I first noticed the problem when I stepped on them, bare-footed, in the middle of the night.
Breakfast was a jaw-dropping £20 per person per day. Good choice but food quality didn't come close to what I'd expect for that price: stale croissants (if you can't get a fresh croissant in Paris, where can you get one?), apples that were so past it, the skin was shriveled and wrinkly, three choices of cereal (of which two were cornflakes).
None of this would be too bad if the hotel was cheap... okay, the ants would be. But this isn't a £50 or £60 per night place, it's £100 per night (£120 with breakfast) and for that, I expect a lot more.
