France Albion

The staff was very courteous and professional. The breakfast (extra charge) was very good. It has eggs, sausage or bacon, yogurt, granola or other cereal, crepes, croissants as well as several other breads. Drinks included milk, orange and apple juices as well as a coffee, espresso and chocolate maker. There was also fruit.|The room was very small. We had 3 adults in a 2 bedroom which was a queen bed in one room and 2 twin fold-out chairs.|There was not much space to open up luggage and leave it out. So that was inconvenient.|The toilet was separate from the shower & sink. Both were very clean.|It is a quaint, somewhat quirky building - hardly a 90* angle anywhere! It was a good price for lodgings so close to the big sites in Paris that could accommodate 3 adults. The area felt safe and had a great nightlife.|We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

I really enjoyed my stay here as a solo traveler. Pros: price, location, staff, room was small but totally good enough for me and nice bathroom!! Con: a little noisy if you are a light sleeper like me but honestly wasnt too much of an issue of ur up and early doing tourist stuff Recommend to anyone 10/10

The hotel was quaint and had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and stored our luggage for us. There is a small elevator to use for luggage. The room had two different windows that open, which we loved. The room had heating and air. No wash cloths, if you're worried about that. Cafes around the corner. Would stay here again!

Hotel is in a great location. Easy walking distance to sights, shops, and restaurants with several Metro stations close by. Felt safe walking around, even late at night. Friendly, helpful staff. Everyone spoke English. Bed was too firm for me and not a fan of the pillows. Shower worked well. Plenty of hot water. Liked that the windows opened and there was air conditioning.

A lovely hotel for a very reasonable price. The view from my room was so nice , and reception was so kind. The room was clean and cozy and perfect for my needs as a solo traveller. So pleased with the quality I got for the price that I got and will definitely be staying again the next time I visit Paris!

Had a wonderful stay at your hotel! The staff was warm and accommodating, and very helpful in making dinner reservations for us! The morning breakfast was delicious, and we were able to hit the ground running to see all the sights! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I love this hotel and will come here for future visits. Very nice rooms, clean and nice. The location is perfect for me at least, fair walking distance to almost anything’s. Very lovely cafes very close and shopping, if you like that. All in all, very pleasant stay! Also, check out (on sundays at least) is 12, so I had a good nice time to pack, go out for last items and some breakfast, before leaving for the airport. Will recommend to anyone!

The hotel's location was great, and the service was very good. Despite arriving early and checking out later in the day, the staff was helpful with storing our luggage, which we really appreciated. However, when we made the reservation, it was not mentioned that our room would be located on the lowest floor, facing an inner courtyard with no sunlight and a noticeable damp smell. If this had been clearly stated from the beginning, we could have made a more informed choice.

As a solo female traveler, I felt 100% safe here. The front door was locked and they opened it from the inside, keeping track of who was trying to come in. The neighborhood was fine and there were metro stations in both directions and a bus stop nearby for easy access to the rest of the city. There is a grocery store across the street which was nice to grab some snacks. The staff was AMAZING. Very helpful and friendly. Their English was top-notch and I got lots of great rec's during my stay for places to eat. The only downside was the size of my room. Don't get a single room. Even if you are traveling alone. Any time I wanted in my suitcase, I had to put it on my bed. There was no room to walk around the room and have the suitcase on the floor. I could store it in the small closet, but not open it. There was a tiny corner desk, but you couldn't put much more than a laptop on it. I would absolutely stay here again, but would pay extra for a double room. They can arrange for someone to pick you up/drop you off at the hotel. It's pricey, but average for the city. Very easy and nice to not have to fight public transportation with my suitcase.

It pains me not to give this place 5 stars, because the staff is so delightful. All of the front desk staff spoke English pretty well, which was very helpful when I needed directions or for them to act as a concierge temporarily. They also offered wake-up calls as soon as I got there. I felt pretty well protected as a single female traveling alone because the staff has to let you in after the sun goes down--they take notice who is going in and out! The rooms are very clean and perfect for a business stay. They also have better wifi than some other Paris hotels I have stayed at. However, this hotel is not what I would recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time here, or if you are traveling with companions who share a room with you. The shower curtains are very flimsy (not sure why they don't have a double liner shower curtain), and although having a moveable shower head is amazing, if you spray it the wrong way, you'll have a flood in the bathroom (which happened to me). Not a big deal when you are alone and can move from room to room if you left something on the floor that got wet, but I imagine it would be rough if you had to share space. There is little room to put a large suitcase. I suppose this would be fine if you have a soft duffle/backpack and can utilize the closet, but I ended up having my suitcases blocking my walking path. For breakfast, they charge 10 Euros for a pretty decent spread, but I never actually tried it since they have such a great location. Across the street is the market with fresh OJ, a cheese/fish shop around the corner, etc. I'd rather get out and explore. I also really liked the location since I could walk to the Moulin Rouge/Sacre-Couvre locations I was interested in exploring. It's about a 20 min walk, which is just far enough away to feel safe from the not so nice part of town. Overall, if you are traveling here for business, it's perfect! If you are just passing through and backpacking, it's perfect! If you are staying here for a week and plan on having lots of baggage, splurge a little more and get one of their bigger rooms so you don't get claustrophobic. Room Tip: Get a double bed room even if you are alone so you can have space to walk around and still have room...

Really enjoyable! Having come to Paris quite a few times, never staying at the top end hotels, but staying at 2-4 star places, I would say that this is probably the best, most comfortable 2 star hotel I can imagine and would come back. We were here for business meetings and all day meetings, so this puts into perspective my review. Not as a tourist or on a pleasure visit. 1. Area - In the 9th district and a decently long walk to the Louvre / Opera area, this place is completely surround within 2-3 blocks of plenty of restaurants, brassaries and pubs. This makes it an ideal place to hang out and have good food and relax. Not a touristy area, really, but all the places we tried near and around the area was just right. I give it a 4 star for convenience. 2. Metro - The St. George metro is about 1 street away and this makes it very, very convenient to traipsing around. 5 Star 3. Hotel Room - They only had double rooms available and thank god I took it. Nice double bed, firm, space to walk around it great air conditioner, small desk, great lighting and decent bathroom size. All modernized, renovated and while not plush, I would say it is one of the cleaner, modern and convenient rooms I can recall in Paris at this level of hotel. While the bathroom will not have every bottle of lotion, soap and extra fuzzy towels, it is just right. Great lighting. Only issue I would have is the fact that there is very, very limited electrical outlet. So, if you have several things to charge, good luck. good news, there is a quincaillerie (hardware) store one street down from the hotel and it is easy to buy an multiple outlet cord here. Very comfortable. 5 Star 4. Meeting Room - I picked this hotel because they had a meeting room that was quite reasonable for about 300 euro per day. We had enough room for a 9 person u shape setting, with projector, screen, easle and we had enough room to walk around, to expand out and we never felt tight at all. We could have easily had fitted 6 more people, but then it would have felt a bit squeezed. Great air conditioning in the room, highly effective. While not really conducive to having in room eating and beverage service, we did have the hotel coordinate for us a coffee break and have water at the table during the meetings. The service and coordination of this for a low key business meetings amongst colleagues is great and perfect. 5 Star. 5. Breakfast - The hotel has a small cellar on the "-1" floor basement that seats about maybe a maximum of 18 people at various 2 / 4 table settings. While quite small, it is quaint. While it easily fills up and can be hard to find a spot, it is very convenient. They serve cereals, breads, nice confitures, yogurt, scrambled eggs, hot potatoes and ham. They have your normal cheese and cold cuts, coffee, tea and breakfast drinks. Overall, very enjoyable and while not exactly mind blowing, simple and easy. The room came with the meal so that was worth it. 4 Star. 6. Wifi - Free wifi! We had 9 people in meetings all day on computers at a high level on the internet and we had hardly any issues. Even in my room, at the top floor, it worked. Sometimes slow, but worked! Overall, remember this is not a 5 star hotel. It is a 2 star hotel and probably best in its class I would stay here for holiday, longer stays, business stays, any stay. More intimate than the large hotels, and more casual. I like this place alot!!!

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and was fluent in English. As with most Paris hotel rooms, this was small but just big enough. We did discover that the hotel front desk is not open 24 hours, so if you plan on going out to the clubs and coming back late, be sure to let the front desk know. The neighborhood is vibrant with a fantastic pastry shop just around the corner. There is a metro train station (St. Georges) less than a block away. If you're looking for a nice room that's a good value in Paris, this is the spot to be.

Loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Had a single room which was small but quite comfortable and nice size bathroom. Liked that the door to hotel is locked and must have an employee to open. Good safety feature. Close to two metro lines which was so convenient for getting to the sites.
