Hotel De La Poste in Paris

I don’t want to seem really negative but the negatives outweigh the positives with this hotel. After we checked in me and my partner went for a walk to find something to eat, before we could get to the door we were stopped and asked to hand in our key before leaving the hotel which I think is really weird and isn’t something that I’ve ever heard of before. I thought that it was weird because it was very late so I know it couldn’t have been for house keeping purposes but we handed it in and left. The next day we left and tried to hand our key in again but nobody was in reception so we took the key with us and when we got back the person on reception was mad that we didn’t hand our key in. Anyways to add to this the area the hotel is in doesn’t feel very safe and there are loud noises and banging at all hours of the night in the hotel and outside. People stomping and shouting up the stairs at 2am and later it was just really inconvenient and nowhere does it say to be mindful of other people and have respect for people sleeping. Talking of sleeping the bed is as hard as a rock (which is fine if you like that) and the pillows are absolutely massive making it hard to sleep on. Other than that the shower was nice and the room was relatively clean. I know this is a budget hotel however there are just some things that I shouldn’t have to pay for like common decency for your surroundings at 2am and not being able to keep ahold of my key while I’m not there.

I wasn't expecting a lot for the price that we paid, around 50euro for one night for 2 people. But I was definitely expecting something a little cleaner that what we received. The room was barely cleaned before we arrived, the bedsheets still had marks on them, the floor tiles were moldy and cracked. There was a large gap between the door and the floor, meaning we could hear every noise as though the door was wide open through the night. We arrived at 10pm and checked out at 6am, not wanting to stay a moment longer. The bathroom door didn't close either. The sink and toilet themselves were clean, but broken tiles and plaster left open piping everywhere. The shower was full of mold and the hot water wouldn't work. The only plus was it's closeness to the metro stop, making it easy to switch lines to get around Paris.

Hot, no air conditioning, no hair dryer, poor attitude at the front desk

Fake photos, indeed rooms’ conditions are terrible…

This is probably the worst places ever, do not go there if you have any respect for yourself. There are bed bugs, it’s unclean, disgusting and that also applies to the manager at the front desk. He has no people skills and maybe suited to be a cage fighter than in hospitality. He was rude and horrible. We changed rooms after complaining and it was worse than the other room and then decided to leave and find somewhere else as it is not suitable for humans. Do not go there, save your money and don’t give your money to businesses like this that shouldn’t exist.
