Hôtel de Montesquieu in Paris

I had stayed at Hotel de Montesquieu a couple of years ago and truly enjoyed it as a charming boutique property, which is why I chose to return. Unfortunately, this time was the complete opposite of my previous experience.

Upon arrival, I was shocked to discover that the hotel’s AC system was out of service. Management did not notify guests in advance, and we were only informed after check-in — an unacceptable lack of transparency for a hotel of this level.

To make matters worse, when I had to reach under the bed to retrieve something that had fallen, I was appalled to find heavy dust and dust balls accumulated there. This level of cleanliness is simply inexcusable.

Overall, what was once a delightful stay turned into a very disappointing and frustrating experience. The lack of honesty about the AC situation and the poor housekeeping standards make it difficult to recommend this property anymore.
