Hotel Crimée - Paris

8.9

This Hotel is not a 5 star hotel, so don't go with that expectation. The room was adequate for our week in Paris. Transportation on the metro was effortless. The hotel staff spoke enough English (some more than others) but all were eager to help. The neighborhood is wonderful. There are many "Kabob" fast food restaurants around this hotel and throughout Paris. They are cheap and amazingly wonderful. There was a fantastic outdoor market on Sunday with the freshest food imaginable..about 2 blocks away from the hotel. Would certainly stay again.

We thought Hotel Crimee was good value for money in a very expensive city. While it is some way from the major tourist sites, the Metro is really close and easy to use. It had a working elevator - a big bonus in an older, narrow, multi-level building for travellers with baggage! The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms in the hotel were on the small side, but that is usually the case in smaller hotels in large cities abroad. (Rooms in European homes are generally smaller than those in the US anyway.) We did not agree with other reviewers' comments about the neighborhood: it was lively, friendly and safe.

Tranquillo e pulito. Vicinissimo alla metro e comodo per il centro

8.9

C'etait tres bien!

9.9

Das Wichtigste ist in unmittelbarer Nähe zu erreichen (Bäckerei, Supermarkt, Metro- und Bus-Station, Restaurants mit gutem Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis), das kleine Zimmer (wie in Paris üblich) war stets sauber (auch das Bad), das Personal an der Rezeption höflich und hilfsbereit - ist sehr zu empfehlen :)

We went to Paris for business and pleasure. Our business was at the Parc de Villette which is a quick 15 minute, two trains journey from the hotel. Metro is about 90 seconds from the door. Plenty of places to eat and the Monoprix store is right at the Metro entrance, great for groceries and left at home necessities. The crepe station, next door, is the BEST in the city! Huge portions and the prices are great! Kabab/Halal restaurant across the street is great for take-away. The city is about 20 minutes by Metro, with a transfer or two. The Louvre is a one train journey for about 20 minutes. The hotel and use of the Metro fit our budget and suited us just fine, we saw all that we wanted and more. Our stay was 5 days and was perfect. Easy access by Metro to CDG. Hotel staff is great, room is European quaint, enough room for two, a third would be tight. Ample bathroom space, modern shower head with a lot of pressure. When we come back, we will definitely stay at Hotel Crimee. Old school doors, but you get use to it. Air conditioning could be colder, but the windows worked just as fine, not a lot of traffic outside. Rooms are clean, nothing fancy. We were only there for shower, sleeping and storage of our stuff. You want foo-foo, you can pay more in the city. Flat screen TV, all stations are in French. Beds were firm, but we were too tired to care.

9.4

Hotel Crimee is a cheap but cheerful hotel. The staff were very friendly the local area vibrant 5 minutes to the metro which was amazing. You can get to centre of Paris in 15 minutes. I would stay here again.

8.4

Perfetto per pulizia. Vicinissimo bus e metro. Dintorni multietnici.

8.3

It's the best solution to visit Paris in a 3-4-5 days trip. A little (very little) room, metro is 50 mt far, you can arrive to center of paris in 15 minuts and to the city of science in 10 minuts.

9.8

We are very happy because the relationship between price and quality it's excellent! Very nice!

7.8

Ideal situation. Great, typical Parisian surrounding. Wonderful "boulangerie" at the corner of the street :o)

7.1

Staff were friendly and welcoming while we were staying there

7.6

Overall stay was very pleasant, would recommend to others, those who are looking for best quality budget accomodation. Very friendly staff behind the desk. Thanks SS

6.1

We stayed for 4 nights, the staff very friendly and helpful. The room very small but is seems it is normal for Paris. Far away of the main attractions but easily accesible through Metro or Bus.

7.6

Fortunately my room was overlooking a small coutyard. Unfortunately it was on the ground floor and therefore as said in another comment, you could hear at times people checking-in at the reception desk. In addition there were works in process or something similar somewhere close. It was like somebody was moving furnitures until late at night! Otherwise fine...

7.2

Very good budget hotel. Room and en suite bathroom very clean. Comfortable bed, clean white cotton sheets,plenty of hot water,good heating when needed ,double glazing kept noise out from busy street outside. Staff friendly and helpful.No problem leaving luggage all day until we were ready to catch our late night flight. Located in bustling,cosmopolitan quarter with plenty of reasonably priced places to eat and drink. Very cheap Boulangerie over the road where it was possible to buy a freshly filled baguette,any dessert( the honey and raisin crepe I had was huge and delicious ) and a drink for 5.50 Euros.Hotel is close to the metro.I liked the breakfast because the croissant,bread, jams/honey etc came with a big steaming jug of strong black coffee which is exactly what I require to start my day. My only complaint would be that the shower had to be hand held because the attachment to the upright to hold it in place was broken . This did not detract from our stay and overall the hotel was very good value , and we would definitely stay again.

8.6

Excellent accomadation for price. Breakfast is a little plain for the price thou.

7.9

We (young couple) had a baby--they accommodated our request of a quiet room (for a higher price) and kept our baby food in their kitchen fridge. It is good value for the price.

7.9

convenient location, close to metro. also yummy boulangerie across the road, monoprix supermarket around the corner and a good couscous restaurant in rue crimee. also worth exploring theParc des Buttes Chaumont nearby. room was very small, we booked a triple, which was a double with a fold-out single bed. helpful and friendly staff.

8.6

15 mins from G du N and convenient for the Cite des Sciences. Smallish but clean and comfortable triple (double and single bed), good if you are going to be out and about most of the time. Only 1 min from Crimee metro, but easy to walk in wrng direction, so check your bearings!

8.5

Receptionist troppo simpatico!

9.7

Excelent location, a 50 meters from the Crimee metro station, nice neighborhood. All the staff was great. Highly recommendable. Great price-service relation. A media cuadra del metro, por ese precio es imbatible. El barrio tranquilo incluso a altas horas de la noche. Altamente recomendable, staff super amable. Volvería sin dudar. Gran experiencia.

7.7

Great value for money, good location, clean rooms and friendly staff. We would definitely stay again!

9.6

The room was quite small but that did not matter as we didn't spend much time in it. What was important was that it was clean ad the beds comfortable. The air conditioning didn't seem to do much but as we had an off-street room openinf the window did the trick although an extractor fan in the bathroom might have been useful. Staff were helpful and informative. Breakfast was a typical French one - baguettes, croissants, coffee or chocolate - and was good in quality and quantity. The location was excellent - very close to the Metro and, as others have mentioned, the patisseries almost opposite was excellent and we made full use of it. Also convenient was the local monoprix and bank cashpoint, while the curry/galette restaurant next door but one was good value, friendly and open late.

8.5

We were very pleased with the hotel. The rooms were European in size but quite nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent with shopping and a good variety of restaurants within a couple of blocks. The metro is just around the corner to get you where you want to go. We have friends from the United States going to Paris and we have already recommended that they stay here.

8.4

The hotel is located 2 minutes from Crimee Metrostation with route downtown, excellent! The aircondition didn't work, so our stay was very hot. But the staff at the hotel was very nice and polite and did everything to help. I recommend a room away from street, the streets were very active at night, especially ambulances and policecars.

8.9

Excellent value compact basic accomodation slightly off the beaten track, but only 10-15 minute journey to the centre and all the tourist attractions from the nearby metro stop. Top floor rooms at the back of the building quiet. Good breakfasts with excellent bread. Rooms and communal area quite small and basic, but this reflects the price range. It's worth looking round the area by the hotel, where you can get a flavour of the city outside the usual tourist circuit, and appreciate the different cultures that make up today's Paris.  Interesting range of reasonable places to eat, and shops, including a small late night supermarket opposite and larger, very cheap supermarket down the road. Also velib bike rack by the metro, a very useful recent addition to the Paris transport system, and suprisingly easy to use (see velib.paris.fr for more details.) Overall, a good value base for the budget tourist who doesn't plan to spend most of their time at their hotel, with charming and helpful staff.

8.0

small rooms but clean. Very near metro.

8.9

You can not beat the price. The hotel is kind of out of the way from anything you would want to do, but worth it for the price. Clean hotel. If you just need a room to sleep in because you will be out in Central Paris all day/night... this is the one for you. I traveled as a group of 3. Triple rooms are the size of what you would expect a double room to occupy... regardless, all of this is compensated by the low price.

6.9

I met people from Germany and Great Britain. It is a nice place to stay in Paris, near subway.

9.3

The two of us were extremely pleased with the Hotel Crimee. The location is about a dozen metro stops from Notre Dame, but the low price made up for the inconvenience of being somewhat far from the center of the city. The hotel staff were extremely friendly, and accommdating. The room, while not large, was perfectly adequate, and so was the bathroom. Housekeeping was excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

8.5

Un più che dignitoso "3°categoria" anche se posto in un quartiere non particolarmente elegante nè silenzioso (ma i doppi vetri fanno il loro dovere), ad un passo (50 m!)dalla stazione del Metrò, che in 20 minuti porta al Louvre e al centro di Parigi. Ascensore, buona pulizia, niente odore di fumo, bagno sufficientemente spazioso (almeno per gli standard parigini)con ampia doccia, acqua calda a volontà e addirittura il marmo sotto il lavabo!Letto comodo, servizio efficente, cambio giornaliero degli asciugamani, accoglienza cordiale delle proprietarie orientali. Nessun problema al momento del conto. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo: cosa pretendere di più? D'altronde è segnalato anche sulla "Routard"! Un consiglio: se amate (o volete provare) la buona cucina francese, non mancate di andare "Au rendez-vous de la Marine",14 Quai de la Loire (vicino Pl.Stalingrad, a fianco del Bassin de la Villette, 2 fermate di Metrò dall'Hotel): è piccolo, sempre pieno, ma non ve ne pentirete!(è anche questo sulla Routard)

9.0

Service & assistance given by the staff was excellent & whilst the room was not very spacious it suited my requirements for the week I stayed.

3.1

friendly welcome, breakfast okay but better to take in a café, make sure not to get room no 1 (directly at the reception! every sound in the hall or at the reception is to be heard in the room and the other way round)

7.6

Excellent small hotel situated close to the Paris Metro. We stayed for four nights and found the hotel staff very helpful. Large supermarket just around the corner near the entrance to the Metro, lots of small mini markets located nearby and open to very late. We found the Metro very safe to use even late at night. Would recommend this hotel for couples but not for small children will stay here again when we next return to Paris.

9.8

Very close to Metro/Subway. Very quiet once the windows are closed. Staff very frindly and helpful. There's an arabic fast food right accross the corner (good food). Will stay again next time. (Elevator on second floor)

6.3

You get what you pay; we only stayed one night; good for someone on a budget; nevertheless, the property seem old, small. I requested to have my luggage stored until my room was ready, and they left it in front of the public bathroom; and some of my property went missing

7.2

The room was a little small for 3 of us (including my 86 yr old mother) but the hotel was well located for local resturants and is in the northeast section of Paris. The metro is a 3 minute walk and gets you to central Paris in about 10 minutes. Best buy for using the metro is the cartel tickets. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is out of the tourist area and has a lot of local different ethic type resturants around it. The elevator can only hold 3 people without luggage (2 with). Breakfast was not included but was good for 6 euro (about $8.00). We were there for 4 nights and would stay here again.

8.4

The room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and practical. The room was small, but that is to be expected in Paris. I was overall very pleased with the hotel, except for one very important factor. The hotel is advertised as having individual air-conditioning in all rooms. They fail to note that the air-conditioning is only available to be turned on during certain times of the year. This should be stated. We went to Paris for medical reasons. My daughter has scoliosis and has to wear a fiberglass brace at night, which really holds in her body heat. I picked this hotel because it advertised that the rooms had individual air-conditioning. After spending all day at the hospital and coming back to the room after having dinner, we could not get the air-conditioning to come on. The desk clerk did not seem concerned at all about my daughter's condition. He just said that he could not do anything about it then, but could make a phone call in the morning and maybe have it turned on for the next night. Since we were only staying one night, this did not help at all. We stayed on April 23, which normally is very cool in Paris. On this night, we had the windows open and no blankets. Luckly we had a fan, which we always take with us to circulate the air for my daughter. In the future, I will know to inquire of all hotels who advertise that they have air-conditioning.

8.8

Friendly and welcoming service from the staff, reasonable value for money. The rooms are quite small but perfectly adequate for tourists. I would definitely stay at Crimee again if I was going to Paris. The breakfast costs extra but is worth it.

8.0

excellent that there was a metro station literally around the corner. it was pretty far from all the major landmarks but the metro station made it convenient

10

Very good

7.1

Clean, quiet hotel with spacious rooms and metro station close by. 67 euros for double room in June represented good value. Neighbourhood is not the most interesting in Paris, and choice of local restaurants is limited.

7.8

The hotel has wonderful employees that were helpful and friendly. Easy access from the metro. The neighborhood is ok...looks kinda sketchy but not to bad really with alot of local restaurants and markets within a few blocks. Overall for the price not to bad, we even stayed an extra night.

7.9

The room was a bit too little for three beds, but with conditioned air and clean. Underground station at 50 meters was great. A good and nice staff. Not so beautiful the neighbourhood, but to do an holiday in Paris means to go to see Heiffel Tower, museums, Montmartre ... A good price/performance ratio

8.2

staff was really friendly, kind of too friendly, the guy at the front desk kept winking at me and i'm a dude. room was clean, quite, and spacious. the bathroom was clean. the area was great, around the corner there is a monoprix(market), bank w/ atm, nickolas(wine store), metro, and internet just around the corner, literally. There is a laundry mat about 3 blocks away. their is really no complaints. its a great place to stay for 60 euros a night.

7.4

Whoever commented that this the rooms of this hotel is "spacious" probably grew up in a closet. It was very cramped for 2 twin beds. Best thing about this hotel? Closeness to the metro stop and a Monoprix (French supermarket).

9.4

We really liked this place, it was a short cab ride from the airport. Once we got there the metra was around the corner with easy access to main Paris. It was nice because it was not in a tourist area. There was a fruit market across the street where we stocked on water, you will find it very expensive if bought around the tourist sights. The staff was very helpful and spoke english. We would definately stay there again!

6.8

I had a good impression overall. There was a constant hum in my room on the last level and the hotel couldn't provide an iron for clothes. The breakfast is not worth the money. You can buy yourself better food nearby.

7.8

Good clean accomodation close to Metro excellent touring base for downtown Paris.

8.2

The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The room, though old, was furnished comfortably. I liked the bed. The bathroom had a bathtub, which was very nice. I only have 2 less-than-good comments: There is no hot water after late morning so evening bathers must use tepid to cold water, and management insists clients leave their keys at the front desk when they leave. Nobody ever asked for ID to confirm my identity when I asked for my key, which tells me that they could have given it to anyone asking for it by room number. Once they gave me the key to the wrong room. This made me somewhat nervous, especially as the rooms have signs stating that the hotel was not responsible for any item not left with the desk.

9.1

The hotel was very clean and the employees very kind. They provided me all the services that I requested.

9.6

We weren't expecting a massive room so were quite pleasantly surprised at the size. The receptionist, Kristophe, was simply quite outstanding with helpful ideas and information and spoke excellent English. The location was ideal with a metro station literally minutes away. Supermarket type shops which stock everything from socks to baguettes are a few minutes walk around the corner and all the main attractions (Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triomphe etc.) are easily accessible through the Metro which runs every few minutes and is very easy to follow. Paris was an excellent place to go for our holiday and The Crimee was a fantastic base and was excellent value for money

8.8

Very small rooms and AC did not do much (per US standards), but staff was very helpful and location is superb with easy access to public transportation.

9.7

This is an excellent small hotel, clean and friendly. Air conditioning great in hot weather and very good value for money. Would definitely use it again.

7.9

The receptionist was very friendly and courteous. She was very helpful in providing us with information and directions around Paris. The room was spacious and clean, quiet although located next to the street. The hotel is also very accessible as the metro is just round the corner. Breakfast 6 euro, not very economical. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

7.6

Small but clean room. Good value for the price. Poor breakfast.

9.1

A little hotel located very close to metro station crimee which makes it easy to go anywhere in Paris. The room was small (I think as usual in Paris) but very clean and quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall good quality for money and a place I can recommend.

8.1

Convenience to Metro.One change from Gare du Nord. Easy reach to sught seeong around Paris. Many good eating place hidden. Some Monoprix store nearby..good for general fruit and snack.

8.0

è un po lontano dal centro ma la metro è a 5 min, complessivamente la struttura è buona e la gente è cordiale, le stanze sono pulite e la prima colazione buona, anche se non c' è da abbuffarsi. il giudizio è positivo!

9.0

Excellent ratio price/quality. Good position near the metro. I recommend this place.

8.7

L'hotel è accogliente, molto vicino alla metropoitana. Le stanze sono piccole ma l'ambiente è molto pulito e i servizi offerti sono ottimi. Lo consiglio a chi vuole un buon servizio ad un prezzo accettabile

9.1

We had a great stay in Paris. The hotel ist quite well located: 50m next to the metro station "crimee" so that it takes just about 10/15 min. to go downtown by metro. the relation between price and quality is excellent: the rooms are clean and spacious enough for a short stay to see the sights of paris. the hotel ist open for 24h, the staff is friendly and i can recommend the breakfast for 6 euro.

8.8

the room was very clean and the bed comfortable.

9.8

The concierge was extremely nice and helpful. The location ideal, just around the corner from the subway stop. The area surrounding the hotel has a supermarket, cafes and restaurants. A great place to stay in Paris and well worth the price.

9.6

Wir wollten eine preiswerte, aber nette Unterkunft in Paris. Da wir den ganzen Tag unterwegs waren, genügte uns ein sauberes Bett und Bad. Dies haben wir gefunden und werden auch beim nächsten Mal wieder gerne dort Übernachten! Das Zimmer war zwar recht klein und auch der Kleiderschrank, aber das freundliche Personal und die Sauberkeit des Zimmers, wenn wir von unserer täglichen Tour durch die Stadt abends zurückkamen hat uns unseren Aufenthalt sehr geniessen lassen. Auch das typische Französische-Frühstück mit Baguetts und Croissants ist sehr empfehlenswert.

9.8

very nice and clean hotel. extremely friendly people at the front desk. will be my hotel again next time in paris!!!

7.6

I had stayed there for 3 nights in late August. This hotel was safe & good to stay in Paris, easy to find (near to Metro Crimee). Room is small but not convenient to sleep well.

9.9

We had great time at Hotel Crimee. It was a exellent stay, and we highly recomend this hotel for place to stay in Paris!!! :)

9.2

A Very home kosy hotel, not big, We would like to come agen. But why can`t the french men read,why do they have to dub. al films on tv? Our only broblem was the tv, since we do not speak the language just a litle bit english.

9.3

Kleines Hotel mit sehr guter Lage (Metro um die Ecke). Sehr empfehlenswert. Klimaanlage war im Sommer sehr schön.

8.9

A very nice place to stay, the rooms are all standard and can be quite small if u book a triple room as I did. However, what impressed me was the size of the bathroom and you will be amazed how clean and white it is. Besides the crimee metro station is just around the corner, which i think makes a whole lot easier for commuting to visit the entire city of paris. And the price is cheaper compared to other hotels as well. Plus it is air-conditioned which is handy during summer time in paris.I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

8.8

Excellent value for money. I would stay here again. The typical continental breakfast (6 euro extra) was good and worth every euro. The metro is 50m from the hotel and is only 15 min from the centre of Paris. The surrounding area is a typical busy shopping and residential district. The staff were very pleasant and professional. Most importantly for me there was plenty of hot water. I've travelled to Paris many times and this was the best value hotel that I've stayed at.

9.7

Hotel Crimee was wonderful. We were so pleasantly surprised to find such inexpensive but excellent accommodations in Paris. After a long overnight trip from Rome, Crimee was like a breath of fresh air. The owners and personnel were professional and so so nice, helpful in every way, going out of their way to be of service. I recommend the breakfast for EU6.00.

8.4

Our stay at the Crimee hotel was great. The room was small but nice & clean. The managers of the hotel were very helpful. The only thing I could have asked for was for more to be included in the breakfast.

9.1

I enjoyed my stay a lot, because the hotel is easy to find, very clean and not expensive. It is directly reachable by the Metro which is an additional "plus". I would recommend this hotel to all my friends!!!

3.2

I am not satisfied with the managment of the hotel: - the managment wrote me only in french(what I don't speek)in the reservation-confirmation that I have to spend the first night in a hotel nearby because they where overbooked. - In this other hotel my expensive nightdress got stolen and I got no refund for that. Be careful!

9.7

This is an ideal hotel for family groups wishing to visit Paris, located very near to the Metro.

9.7

Great hotel, nothing fancy, but everything you need. Friendly and very helpful staff. Right by the Metro station and right across from an EXCELLENT Vienamese restaurant (try the Pho soup!!!)!

9.8

I thought the people where really nice and made the stay even more pleasurable.
