Grand Hotel de Paris - Paris

7.3

Room was small, and wallpaper was old and cracked. Also, I think we were put in the smallest room in the hotel (on 6th floor with sloped ceiling), even though there were probably larger double-bed rooms on lower floors in same price category. Seemed more like a 2-star room. But it wasn't a bad place to stay for the money and convenience (near Gare Est)--was clean and safe. The room worked well in Sept/Oct (when we could open window for ventilation). Would NOT recommeded in hot or cold months (no air conditioning and I've seen complaints about noisy raditors).

Employees should larn to speak better English.

It's not a full service hotel and you wouldn't expect it at this price. The location is so close to both the train station (where we parked our car for 24 euros/day) and the Metro station (take 4 and then 6 to get to the Eiffel - pronounced ee-full tower). We were 4 and fit just fine in the quad room. 92.4 Euros/night was fair. Some mentioned noise, the windows sound proof the room well, but we initially had the windows open to air out the room a bit and closed them as the noise remained even after 1am. Door to hotel is locked at 1am, but the desk clerk opened the door at 1:15 to let us in, no problem. Floor wasn't level for our room, but once in the bed or seated, you don't notice. We used the room for sleeping and showering. Again very fair for the price.

The front desk receptionist was extremely warm and welcoming! She spoke great English and was very helpful! We stayed in a quad room and it was HUGE! The price was very reasonable for the location and size of room. Elevator was small, but steps were wide enough it wasn't a problem to carry luggage up. Windows were well insulated so street noise was not a problem. Very short walk from Gare de l'Est! Would highly recommend and definately stay here again!

9.0

Staff is helpful. Breakfast cost extra but is good. Bathroom very clean. The hotel offers wifi internet from 2 - 48 hours. That period can be interrupted. You can use the same 2 hours over several days - cheap and perfect for just checking your email.

8.5

the staff was really friendly and very helpful! It is directly located next to the station, it's perfect!! The room was small but clean and there's everything you need for a short trip!!

8.1

I was there with my husband and two children (17 and 25) We were in a quadrupole room which was enormous with the two single beds around a corner. Nice bathroom. Location excellent near Gard du nord and est which was we wanted as we were visiting friends in Chantilly. Breakfast a bit disappointing but typical for Paris. We would definitely go there again.

9.9

booked a quadruple. (One double bed 2 single) n°33: Excellent price for a very spacious bedroom & bathroom. Extremely nice staff. Almost in front of underground ! Only pb : no babybed...but staff offered to put a big matress on the floor, which was fine for a 6 months baby. Tiny lift. But for the price, the room was great.

7.1

The floor wasn't so good. Holes and not flat. The bathroom was also a bit old and funny-looking...

8.1

We were two families, each made of 4 people. We stayed in Paris few days around new year's day. The hotel is very close to Gare de l'Est, and near to a metro station. So, it is easy to move and reach almost every part of the city. It is also easy to reach the Beaubourg and Les Halles by walking: we did it with our children the first day we arrived and, even though the immediate hotel surroundings are not so "turistic", that was a good approach to Paris. We stayed in two quadruple rooms and we found them clean and large enough to make our staying comfortable. Perhaps, furnitures would need some renovating. The breakfast room is small, but seemed to be sufficient to the hotel capacity (provided customers don't have their petit dejeunare in the same time...). Some employees speaked english and also tried to understand our italian: that made us feel at ease (also, it seemed not so easy to find local people eager to comunicate in languages other than france...).

7.6

The hotel has the most tiny mini elevator I’ve seen ever hehehe. It is awesome! In general is a good hotel, well situated and clean enough. The rooms are kind of cozy. The ratio price quality is one of the best you can find.

5.8

We were 4 ladies sharing a quadriple. We were absolutely satisfied about the size of the room. We had plenty of place for suitcases and so on.... But, it was noisy at night; busy street and music from a bar close by.

2.0

Sadly, a very poor experience. We had to change room twice during our three nights stay. All floors were leaning and not very clean. I'm afraid I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone...

8.1

This hotel is in an excellent location - Right beside Gare De L'Est station (one mainline and 2 metro lines). If it is value for money and location you are after it is ideal, if its luxury you are after, stay away!!

9.0

for the price this was an excellent hotel we stayed for 3 nights and the hotel served its purpose. Good selection of breakfast menu - not worth going elsewhere for breakfast, staff very helpful. ideally located for buses to take you to main tourist attractions will def go again.

7.1

Buon punto dipartenza per vedere Parigi. La vicinanza con la Gare de l'est e la gare du nord rende, inoltre, la posizione dell'hotel davvero strategica.

8.1

Excellent location - close to Gare du Nord (for Eurostar) and less than 100 metres from metro station (Gare De L'Est). Hotel allowed us to leave luggage on check out day for us to collect on our way to Gare du Nord in the evening.

8.9

The hotel is perfect for tourist that only want to use the rooms for sleep. The rooms are small and the furniture is old, but is very clean and the employees are very wellcoming and it is perfectly located near the metro, busses and train station where cars can be rented.

8.8

Clean rooms. Low rates. Excellent location. Friendly service. Good base for visiting Paris' attractions. But not a luxury hotel.

9.8

We had a wonderful time in Paris. A cheap and cheerful hotel, spacious, clean and friendly. Close to Gare Du L'est with connections to Disneyland, Versailles. Very accessible with some lovely restaurants nearby. We travelled with a 12 and an 8 year old and it was great.

3.0

Recommend only if you are desperate to stay across from Gare de L'Est.

6.8

great front desk staff...good breakfast...toliet in room ran constantly...and room floor slanted so that i slept with feet elevated slightly....

4.9

The room floor is uneven and small. Noisy outside. This hotel needs a building renovation. Water leaks in bathroom floor, very small lift good for 1 person and 1 small luggage only. I only found 1 nice staff, the older white skinny female Parisian from the kitchen who gave me a Hotel card in case i run into trouble in town, she said. The breakfast spread is no good and not much choices so i opted to just go next door boullangerie. The front desk staff is not friendly. However, 122 Euro for 4 persons and 89 Euro for 2 is not bad. Next time, ill take the Ibis or the Mercure right next to the Gare De Lest.

6.1

The hotel was excellent, for the price and the location (the specific period). One think that they must change is the Breakfast, too much money for this quantity. AND the most important, Next renter, AVOID The first floor, because you are not going to sleep, except, if you like the karaoke. There is a bar in the ground floor (in the foto on the left) with the speakers in YOUR ROOM all night. You can't sleep.

2.2

the only positive point for this hotel is the position, next to garde de l'est station, room was small, not very clean and in desperate need of a make over. definately not what I expect from a 3 star hotel. unclear whether breakfast was included or not, but didn't chance it anyway, goodness knows what state the kitchen was in. receptionist needed telling how much we were being charged for stay, not a good sign. won't be recommending to any of my friends.

3.6

Breakfast was great, but not included in price!! It was 7 euros each person and day. Elevator is painful, I was about to go upstairs with my suitcase because we two fill up all the space inside. In fact, everyday we came up in elevator but went out downstairs. Room claustrophobic. Every night when we came back we found our window wide opened, so our room was frozen. Employees very friendly. Surroundings the best.

7.6

It just value for money. May be hot in summer, without air conditioning.

6.2

It s a well-located hotel and the staff is really friendly. But, i was a little dissapointed due to the room. When we arrive at 11am, the room wasn t done (cleaning). Between the room and the bathroom, there is only a curtain, no door. I think it s a little unconfortable.

8.6

very good and easy to communicate to all places in Paris.

1.8

Dieses Hotel ist seine 3 Sterne nicht wert! Das Zimmer extrem klein und unangenehm!!

10

i loved this hotel and its people, is the best choice

7.8

My wife and my selv had 4nights at Grand Hotel de Paris,we injoyed the visit and the sty. The hotel is very OK ,we recomed it for its price and servises,...TO YOU INJOY YOUR STY

8.7

Its transportation is very convenient! Nearby bus stop & subway & railway station. All of them are within 5 minutes walking distance.

8.2

The hotel was very nice and very clean. The room was spacious for three people and the bathroom was the largest that I have had in a hotel stay in Europe. All the staff was very nice.

7.0

The room is more small than as indicated at photo online.

5.4

l'hôtel n'est pas cher par rapport au cout de la vie a Paris, mais c'est là son seul avantage. La chambre que nous avons occupée était sombre, relativement bruyante (bruits de canalisations d'eau + bruits du boulevard). Une latte du sommier était cassée et les draps étaient tachés. La 2e nuit, la TV n'était plus disponible. Les photos sur le site ne correspondaient pas vraiment à ce que nous avons obtenu. Cet hôtel ne mérite certainement pas ses 3 étoiles!

3.3

The hotel in my opinion is very expencive for the services offered. I guess it is hard to find beter hotel in Paris at that price, but as a whole it is too expencive. The hotel is lucking space everywhere. Rooms are small, with strange non-horisontal floor. The electricity plugs were a big problem for me - there was no european 2 holes only female electricity plug, so I did not manage to recharge my camera bateries.

8.1

There was one cleaning lady who was very nice, not like the stereotype. She was talking nicely to us every day when we passed her on our way out, even though we couldn't answer her in proper french. Very nice! The stay at the hotel was really worth the price we payed, thanks to the ability to make reservation on the internet.

8.0

I stayed in a triple room with two children. The location was great for metro (Gare de l'Est was on the doorstep) and bus services. You could also walk the short distance to Gare du Nord to catch a sightseeing bus. There were plenty of restaurants around. The only down side was that the streets were not as clean as I would have liked. I would definitely stay there again, because it was good value for money.

7.7

The hotel is near the main station and metro. Surrounding is a concern. We were expecting small room but it was spacious for four of us. Would reccommend others. Good value for the price.

5.6

Very old hotel. Need a real relooking. For one night may be ok if you aren't exigent.

1.9

The room is more suitable for a single rather than a triple room which I have booked. The furnishing is falling apart. The shower room door is broken and safer not to lock it. The cupboard should be in the musee, and is in rotting condition.There is no carpet but a piece from the tap and spray like a fountain when you tirn it on. Not even a kettle for making hot water. I will classify it as a 1 star hotel rather than 3 stars. A no go hotel.

5.8

lousy breakfast

5.5

Everything in Paris is overpriced so this was no exception. the room and hotel were a little run down but not that bad. Mostly the stay was just fine but the area the hotel was in was not so great. I did not feel comfortable walking around at night and there was really not much to walk around for. Very close to the metro stop though so getting from there to the hotel was no issue at all. I would recommend staying somewhere closer into the tourist area if possible, but if like us, you find nothing there available, this hotel is okay.

8.0

We were lucky that we got a discount price on the date as we went holiday in Paris. We found no difficulties finding the hotel because it is located beside a big street and very near to Gare de l'Est. The environment is nice, not too far from the center and although the traffic on this street is busy but perhaps because we stayed at 5th floor, we didn't hear any traffic noise from below. The hotel is clean, has a good service, towels were renewed every day. However the elevator space inside is tiny, only 2 persons can enter in the same time. Unfortunately the towel hanger in the shower is so small that one must put clothes on the floor or over door handle.

3.8

Camera piccola alla quale sono stati aggiunti 2 letti ... diciamo una quadrupla veramente risicata. L'albergo non è dei più puliti mi sembra cmq in linea per la cifra pagata

7.9

A cozy, clean, conveniently located. Competent and friendly employees.

8.1

We found the Hotel very easily as it is quite close to the train station. We took the Eurorail from London. The room was quite small but clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and provided lots of information on Paris. The area was a little too far to walk to the sightseeing areas, but the train was close and very fast. If we returned to Paris we would spend the extra money to be closer to the city.

8.5

E' un piccolo ma accogliente albergo. Non è al centro ma è vicinissimo alla stazione del metro, è stato facilissimo arrivare e moverse in la cità.

7.1

Practical location if your needing to traval via Gare North or East (this made it quite easy to get to the Orly or de Gaulle airports). Was also a not too far but interesting walk to the Seine/Norte Dame etc. A few neighboring blocks had some rough city elements to it but overall felt safe. The room was actully very sound proof and of reasonable quality. Staff was help full and had an easy check-in/check out. Overall was satisfied and would return.

9.7

Very convenient for Gare de l'Est and Gare de Nord, but the traffic was horrendous because of roadworks.
