Hotel Standard Design in Paris

We stayed for 3 nights. The hotel looks nice, we had one of the few spacious rooms. The room was stylish interior is very minimalist.

The first thing we encountered was that we had to hand in our key every time we left the hotel. We're unsure if the receptionist keeps the passport photos or something... but just naming the room number will get you the keys back. No questions asked.

The first night I got sick and my partner went to get another blanket for me. However, the receptionist on duty this evening said there was nothing he could do. Also the room was terribly cold, he couldn't help with the heater and said we had to use the tiny electrical heater in the wardrobe to heat the room.

The next afternoon my partner spoke to the receptionist again, nothing was possible. Luckily the area has pharmacies and supermarkets.

Early in the morning the church right across the street starts toiling its bells. This is still "okay", the worst part is what we guessed is the wake up call guest can request. When they get the call everyone gets to enjoy the alarm, because you can hear EVERYTHING. The room might as well have no windows as well, cause it sounds like traffic is passing by right along your bed.

The bed was made every day. The towels were changed. We didn't get any new soap over the course of our stay. On second day our cups were gone and no new ones were left.

Also housekeeping starts cleaning long before the checkout time of 12:00. So there is this continues sense of being rushed.

When booking, keep in mind there are no utilities for drinks. No water cooker, cups, nothing. We purchased some water at a supermarket in the street, rather then getting it at the reception for €2 per bottle. There is little space to store clothes.

The shower and toilet were spacious, but the tiles on the floor are loose. The shower has some red fungus growing on the doors. The toilet was clean.

For the rest the room was clean.
The street is busy. Lots of establishments to eat and drinks till late at night. Keep in mind that the hotel is above a bar and people sit outside and talk loudly till deep in the night. You will hear them.

The hotel offers breakfast for 12 euros. We didn't take this option. We also noticed a sign at the reception that a room would cost €300 per night, we booked online and it cost us less than half. Overall, not coming back.

I have twice changed our room. The first time, it was because the ceiling would crumble and one of the windows did not close. The second, the tub was broken and then, there was a mouse that came out of the toilet to 03h in the morning. The last room we had, the air conditioning was malfunctioning. Despite that, the staff is welcoming, I can only advise against this hotel.

Awful smell in the elevators. You can't stand it
