Grand Hôtel de Turin in Paris

Highly recommend. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was super clean and beds soft and comfortable. Bathroom while small, had plenty of shelves and again clean.

20 minute walk to major shopping and food outlets but amazing boulangeries are right outside.

Only negative are the pillows are a little large/high. Would definitely stay again.

It was clean and the room was bathroom was a little bit dated.

Location is fine but the rooms are not that good enough to keep the surroundings quiet. Especially that we stayed 4nights, as soon as the cleaners started to arrive, all the noise will also start.

The hotel deserves a better rating than its current 3.7 out of 5.
The location is perfect, and the rooms are quite spacious for a 3-star hotel in Paris, the same goes for the bathrooms.
Everything was very clean: no bed bugs or anything like that, so there’s no need to worry. Issues like that are mostly just bad luck and likely related to a previous guest.
The staff is friendly and always has a kind word to share.

That said, it’s not perfect. It’s true that one of the receptionists tends to hide away in his office, although he still remains very friendly when approached.

What made me rate it 4 out of 5 stars is the breakfast. It’s quite expensive for what it is. You pay 12 euros for a viennoiserie, a small piece of bread, and coffee. No eggs or hot food, and the overall selection is limited. In my opinion, it’s not worth the price.

That being said, if I were to stay in the area again, I’d be happy to come back (and see if the breakfast has improved 😉).

Visited in August with my husband and two girls. We paid €65 for one night, room for four. I was a little sceptical given the reviews but thought I’d give it a go anyways and we were pleasantly surprised. Our experience really wasn’t as bad as others and I’ve seen far worse hotels for less value for money.

Quick breakdown below:

-Receptionist and staff were very kind and helpful.
-The room was very clean and we checked the mattresses, I confirm there was no bed bugs and they were clean.
-The room was on the first floor and overlooking the street but windows are double glazed so we did not hear any noise and it isn’t a busy street anyways.
-Room size was good for Paris and beds were comfortable (and we’re difficult with beds!)
-Bathroom was ok, a little small and yes water from the shower does splash but not that much if you’re careful.
-Location was great, cute streets and quiet and no it’s not a “dangerous” area, unless you go a bit more into Pigalle but that’s to be expected so research Pigalle if you don’t know Paris well. We just avoided that area at night with our young girls and it was perfectly fine.
-The room had aircon which was great.

Bad points:
-I found a cockroach in the shower, which I killed and didn’t tell the children about. Not nice but it must have crawled through the shower drain given our room was on the first floor, and for Paris, it can sometimes happen. I put a towel on top of the drain and no more cockroaches appeared.
-The walls are very thin and you do hear the noisy other rooms but unless they demolish all walls and rebuild them I’m not sure what else the hotel can do.
-Chairs in the room are old and ugly, could be replaced.
-The cleaner knocked at 9am and even if I replied in French (as I speak French) that we were sleeping, she entered anyway and apologised afterwards.

I’ve tried to give a detailed breakdown of our experience to help future guests. But overall we were very happy especially for the price (€20pp) we paid. You probably won’t find a better option for cheaper in the city centre at a peak period. So no, it isn’t a lush hotel but if you just need a room to sleep in not too far from anything and would rather keep your money for shopping and activities then it’s definitely a good option!

I’d like to think my review is objective as I’m a demanding person who likes comfort, nice things, great service and never hesitate to speak my mind or complain.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights this summer...we had a very pleasant experience...we got in early in the morning and was allowed to drop off our bags while we went sight-seeing....very, very friendly staff...thank God they spoke English which was a life-saver...the iron was always available to iron out the wrinkles in my clothing...great view of the street below. Seemed like a safe neighborhood, folks were walking their dogs and young kids...minutes away from the Pigalle bus stop and metro...Elevator, air condition unit in room which we did not use as the weather was always gorgeous...we were on the 3rd floor so if we missed the elevator we could easily walk the winding staircase down to the 1st floor...not sure why so many negative reviews...will book again cause Paris seems to just draw you in...

A clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay when in Paris! The beds were nice and comfortable, though the room was small it had everything we needed for our couple night stay here. The location was also very convenient to either hop onto the metro or walk to the big landmarks. Would definitely recommend!

The location is very good, there are many places to eat around, transportation is very convenient and the price is good
