Hotel Bel Oranger Paris - Paris

For $130 Euros, is so wrong for a room that was basically a box. The cost should have been like 80 Euros. The room was cold, but not bad, it was clean and the bathroom was ok. The heater in the room didn't do much. But on a quiet street, and the room was very Quite. I would not recommend it for the price

Hotel was very close to metro and train station. It was clean and tidy at all times. The only negative was wi-fi connection, where password was not working to connect to Access Point, however we did not needed it that urgently.

Room was small, clean and very quiet. Bed was super comfortable and I had a great sleep. The surrounding area was a bit seedy, particularly at night.

Not good cleanliness, no available simple services ( ex. drincable water ), not good break fast, ratio price/value not good too expensive for this structure.

the hotel was good, but the woman receptionist was very unfriendly and it has absolutely not felt welcome. the room was clean but a poor value for money.it is forbidden to eat in rooms.

We came as a family of four (with two teens). We had the top floor penthouse suit. It was a little small for four but totally adequate for our needs. Beds and showers were good. It was a bit hot one night; you must ask to have your air conditioner turned on by the staff (no buttons, run by a remote controled by the front desk). The air conditioner was barely sufficient. I should have had it turned on sooner but we were only there at night; left early in the mornings and came back late. We didn't pay the extra 8 euros per person for the breakfast so I can't comment on that. However, I would recommend the Pasteria close by; one block in the direction away from the Gare Lyon train station. The food is better than most and half the price of those close to the train station. The Hotel is very close to two train stations/metro stops: Gare Lyon (2-3 min walk) and Gare d'Austerlitz (5-10min walk accross the river). These gave quick access to many tourest destinations; Use Lyon for sites on the North East side of the river and Austerlitz for those on the south west side and to reach Versailles. The hotel was not as centrally located as I would have liked, but I choose it for easy access to an extremely early train we had scheduled at Lyon on our last day.

Stay for 3 nights, price interesting, very close to gare de lyon and transport everywhere, perfect place to stay, people are very welcoming except some doors noise in nights all was nice!

There are so many good hotels in Paris and if you add 10 euro to the price you get at Bel Oranger you will get a great hotel.

Quality vs. Price, more expensive!!!

Excellent value for the price. Good location.

The hotel is really near Gare de Lyon/Metro and the Bastille neighborhood (filled with fun bars and restaurants), so its quite convenient to beginning your journey around Paris. That is certainly its greatest feature. Otherwise, the rooms are small (actually, everything is small--elevators, hallways), the TV didn't work, the staff won't offer recommendations, and the breakfast offered is NOT worth 9 euros. But - you're in Paris! what are you watching TV for anyway? Relatively affordable and conveniently located.

One of Staffs was friendly. Hotel's Luggage room can be used untill 18:00, after that you can use Locker room at the station like Gare de Lyon.

Quiet and pleasant stay near the Gare de Lyon

A small hotel located close to Gare de Lyon. Convenient to those who are taking the trains to South of France. The room is very small and overpriced (but then this is Paris). There is hardly any space to walk inside the room, and we can't even lay the bags open. The good thing about the hotel is that it is reasonably clean and the small elevator is able to take the bags upstairs. Recommended to those who only ask for a bed to sleep in.

no English TV

The hotel is not friendly. There was no floor trap to drain water in bathroom and water spilled to room carpet. No bidet available. They were not happy to see water marks on the carpet. The management ordered breakfast without our permission. However things were sorted out later.

If you want a bed for the night close to Gare De Lyon, this hotel does it for you at a Parisian cost of course. Don't expect a room that is spacious or airy (we could not get the shuttered windows open as the curtain pole prevented this!) and being short definitely helps in these beds! The staff member who met us on arrival was rude and unpleasant, which we actually found funny, so take a sense of humour with you! A good tip is that there are a couple of great cafe's opposite the Gare de Lyon that stay open late and serve food with a friendly manner.

Ottimo e tranquillo hotel utilizzabile come base per visitare la città a pochi passi dalla metropolitana

If you want a place close to Gare de Lyon, this is good,has shops etc. close by and just a 5 mins walk to station.

Hotel renewed in term of new room, new bathroom, new furnishing, new LCD TV but with with only 6 french channel bad tuned. Very clean room but not very big. Strategic position, near to Gare de Lyon and at 3 metro station. Personnel do not speak italian. Breakfast at 6€ is not cheap, look around.

This hotel was about what you would expect, considering that Paris is an expensive city and the cost of the room is reasonable. The ownership is doing some renovation; we got a room with a brand new bathroom, new paint job, new furnishings. While very small, the room was adequate. We were glad to have a lift, so that we didn't have to lug suitcases up and down the stairs. Our only complaint was the noise; since there's no air conditioning, the windows had to be open, and street noise was considerable.

Actually I wanted to stay in another hotel listed on your site, on the day I tried to book only this was available for my criteria. It is a bad hotel, I think I have paid too much for this hotel.

Not recommendable. Very bad breakfast, too expensively, reads room, untidy reception.

the room was ok but the people were very very very rude.

The hotel provided a small very clean room in an area convenient to Gare de Lyon. It is exactly what should be expected of a one star hotel. However, the breakfast is not worth the 5.50 euros. Eat elsewhere.

basic room and ensuite quiet street close to transport

Beware - many property characteristics listed on the website DO NOT match what is actually in the hotel. Although the listing says that there is wireless Internet, there is no Internet at all (except dialup if you have a membership with a dialup provider). Ironing facilities ARE NOT "available upon request." The front desk assistant who was busy watching a football match did not know anything about an iron or an ironing facility. The floor in my room did not seem to have been cleaned in a while, but I guess that is normal for Paris budget hotels. The room prices are good for Paris and you will get an average bathroom and a place to sleep....but don't expect anything special. The tiny breakfast room is underground with no windows...rather dungeon-like. In addition to some surprisingly good coffee, you will get a croissant and some other bread products for breakfast...but nothing more. Not recommended for celiacs!

ça serait mieux un questionnaire en français !!!

Having booked this weeks in advance we thought we would get rooms close together, but no the kids were on the top floor , my wife and I on the ground floor. The noise from the street, the sound of water descending pipes just by the bed along with noisy neighbours meant we hardly slept at all. The receprionist was not helpful at all, could speak english but decided not to and didn't know how to work the visa machine so we ended up paying cash. We won't be staying there again!

My Girl Scouts and I loved this hotel. It was near Gare du Lyon and easily accessible to the metro. Note on the weekend, we had trouble finding breakfast. I would suggest the purchase of the hotel's breakfast that they offer. We will use this hotel for our next trip in 2007.

We were in a qudruppe in garret. The room was very small, but was clean. There is a small bathroom.It wasn't from time to time warm water. The accommodation was near to Metro line1., and so to sightseeing is very excellent. We were in accomodation only in night. So was it adequate.

The room could use a new carpet. For our "triple" a campbed was added, making it difficult to move around. The bathroom was fairly new and clean. No noise from the street, a little from other rooms. The breakfast was excellent.

I booked a single room and was provided with a small, well kept room with very efficient, very clean, bathroom. This hotel is close to Gare de Lyon and a short walk to the Bastille rotary, with all the restaurants and shops. Very convenient - a good economic choice for those who will not be using their room for much more than sleeping.

This was a convenient hotel for the Gare de Lyon. There was no mention of whether breakfast was extra or included in the price and there was no response to an e-mail asking about this (it was extra). The only drawback was that their card machine was broken and the only way to settle the bill was by cash which was an inconvenience.

Very pleased with a room. Very close to METRO (1). Restaurants in the same street are not to good. Very good patisserie in the end of the street (deseerts, French baget ...).

Loved the location - safe area, near metro, close to shops & cafes. Room very clean. Expected friendlier service as hotel industry dependent on tourism. One staff member most curt. Did not explain phone fees or breakfast option. Not helpful in planning return to airport. Would not provide towels when none in room. Remainder of desk and cleaning staff attempted to assist when request made.

super lage, man kann von hier fast alles zu fuß besichtigen, auch metro ist sehr nahe; hotel liegt ruhig in kleiner straße; zimmer war stickige luft, handtücher wirkten schmutzig; wasser in toilette funktionierte nicht, reparatur (3x) war mit unhöflichkeit von seiten der cheffin geahndet worden, die anderen angestellten waren freundlich und hilfsbereit; leider war zur zeit (dez 2004)umbauarbeiten im direkt anschließenden haus, somit war es nicht nur laut ab 9:00 uhr sondern auch kalt im zimmer. würde nächstes mal die nachbarhotels in der rue austerlitz ausprobieren, sie wirkten gepflegter.

Very loud noises from construction work in the morning made it hard to sleep, the location was great as being close to the train station after a long train ride. Good value if you are looking for something close to the train station.

I really enjoyed my stay at Au Nouvel Hotel Lyon. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. The hotel was very close to the metro and the little cafes surrounding te hotel were lovely.

Situated central with quality-price ratio as main argument to stay there. Comparativelyhigh additional breakfast price.

All I wanted was clean, basic accomodation, somewhere that I could sleep and charge my mobile phone. That's exactly what I got. The room was spartan, the corridor was dark and the breakfast was a waste of money, but the hotel is convenient for Paris Bercy, was easy to find and I slept well.

This hotel was exactly what it advertised it would be: a hotel near the Gare de Lyon. We had an early train and wanted to stay near the station. This hotel is three short blocks from the station. The rooms and public areas are more than adequate. For a vacation in Paris, however, I would stay somewhere else.

I was a bit disappointed because the description was different from the reality. The room was small and there was only 1 small towel per person: the same for shower and for hands!!!

It was a good relation between price and quality. A great advantage is the location, which means 5 min. from Gare du Nord= metro, bus and train. (Beautiful restaurant in the station) Breakfast is reasonable in price, not too much, like all over in France. People is friendly.

The room was adequate, but breakfast sucked. For 11 Euros we got 2 croissants, 4 rolls, 2 6 ounce glasses of juice, and 2 cups of coffee. We asked for 1 extra croissant but were told "No". If you stay here, stay away from the breakfast.

This was a nice plain hotel- not fancy- but great for just a place to stay that is clean and quiet.

This was an absolutely horrible hotel. The pictures on the website were very deceiving. The room was dirty and noise level was terrible. I would not return to this hotel again.

This hotel is only a few minutes walk from Gare de Lyon, on a quiet side street. Nothing special to set it apart, but it felt friendly and safe.

At our arrival we told the lady at the reception that we want to stay for only 2 days. She told us she doesnt take us. We sayd that we are going to pay for the whole stay which was 4 days. She got mad but took us. At our 2.day we came back to the hotel late in the evening, very tired and we just wanted to take a shower and relax. There were no towels in the room! We had to wait 2 hours because they were in the washingmashine...

affordable, convenient decent hotel in Paris - a rare combo.

This hotel was in a nice position near to Gare de Lyon, & Bastile. The Hotel is located in a quiet, safe road just off the main road, near to 2-3 other hotels. I had a double room for one person which I found comfortable & well appointed, the bathroom was nice but the shower was too low ! It was not clear with the booking that breakfast was extra.

Rooms tiny and basic, but very clean. Minimal street noise, but extreme noise from water tank. Some neighbour noise too. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. On the whole over priced though .

nice hotel with a good ratio between price and quality. The surrounding noise was acceptable and the hotel was very close from the train station (10 minutes by foot).

This is a good place (one issue noted – hot water seemed to be limited – your ability to shower was limited if someone else in another room was also showering). Clean, English speaking. Would recommend this place based on price. This website – Venere.com is excellent for hotels. (Comments by other travelers were very useful too).

A nice hotel about 5 minutes walk from the Gare De Lyon. The room was fine and had the benefit of CNN news on the television. The area abounds with bars, shops, cinema and restaurants for all pockets. Only met one member of staff as we arrived late and left very early, but he was very friendly and helpful.

quite private run hotel. clean and friendly although material state could be improved. ie toilet in room was lose, some lights did not work

A wonderful little hotel in a great area, with very friendly and helpful staff. The quality of the room and bath was superb. The location is very convenient for metro to the major Paris sites. We found the Bastille area to be very pleasant and lively, with shops and restaurants filled with actual Paris residents as opposed to the tourists on the left bank.
