Hotel Modern'Est - Paris

no groom four luggages

The hotel is situated very close to the Railway station "gare de l'est" My room was large with TV and freeWiFi. It was silent and a window give good natural light . The hotel has been recently renewed

we will come back

the pillows are not very clean, teh pillowcase are very clean, I think they wash de pilowcase, but not de pillows.

Cool reception. Nice location near to underground and gare d'est and nord. It's a good deal for a two star. I liked.

We prefer the little old hotels and we use the trains so this place is great for us. If you like Holiday Inn, this will be a little too small and old fashioned.

Paris is an expensive city, so while the room was expensive for what it was, that says more about Paris that Hotel Modern´Est. With the room however we were a little disappointed how thin the walls were, and how the noise carried from the other rooms and hallway. Likewise, whilst the shower was both new and clean, it was disappointing that the actual shower head had no wall attachment in which to place it, and kept turning itself off. Overall a little disappointed, although I have certainly stayed in worse hotels.

The hotel was just renewed. The room was large and quiet. The breakfast was served as a buffet

The hotel is located just by a metro station and near train stations. Very convenient in terms of location. But the room floor had a slope, it was not firm, the shower was tiny. One could tell the room was used by smoking people because of the smell.

Story for Family with young kid: Ticket confirmed that kid less than 1 year stay free of charge, with no extra bedding. But the hotel is in intention to make money with my 11 months kid. Demanded extra money for offering another room that could accomodate baby..(?) When I show them the ticket description, their response "you can ask for ship in the room", but description of kid accomadation is provided by them in ticket and not a request from me. The say, we have not told kid can be accomodated, security reasons and something.. Finally they lost the argument and decided to give me not so good room with disclaimer, you cannot change the room (i have not seen the room yet), you are staying at your own risk, etc., This is not so good when i step-in to the hotel. Made me bit scary too. Other staffs during night are friendly.

Our room was very small and cramped with a sloping floor and the wardrobe was on a lean. The website says the hotel has been renovated but that would have been many years ago - it is very, very tired. The bathroom was extremely basic with a tiny shower and nowhere to put anything. The handbasin took about 5 minutes to drain. There was no air con, just a fan, and the temps were very high. It was too noisy outside to have the window open at night. The hotel is very close to Gare de l'Est which is why we booked it, but the area is pretty awful and seedy. We didn't feel safe walking around there. Breakfast was very sparse unless you happened to be there just when some food was brought out. Service was very poor in that they have only 3 dessertspoons in the hotel(!) and when you ask for one, you're told to eat your cereal off a teaspoon. We did not find this acceptable at all. However when we left our backpack in the dining room, a staff member kept it safe for us, which was much appreciated. Next time we would book something nicer in a better area.

Advertised as all rooms having air-con, but that was not the case. All they had was a fan and a hole in the wall where the air-con vent went, not ideal in 35 degree temperatures but having booked just 6 hours before arrival the price was the best feature.

There are no kettle in room and have problem with sink. Reception is quite rude when we check out.

Location and price was very good. Breakfast was a little bit poor.

This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel on a stopover between England and other destinations. It's convenient for arrival at the Gare du Nord and there's a Metro station right outside the hotel for getting to other stations. The area is not brilliant, but there are lots of places to get a reasonable meal. The hotel is as good as you're likely to get for the price and we will certainly use it again. This time we had a fifth floor front double room with bath, which was both quieter than expected and rather roomier than some we're had. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Small clean rooms with worn furniture. Welcoming staff at the front desk. Our room has been very good cleaned every single day. Free Wi-FI. Poor noise isolation. Poor view to the backyard. I would recommend this hotel for single traveller for very sort stay.

I was traveling for a short business trip. I really appreciated the spacuousness of the room.

convenient location, staff are friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast for 7 Euro.

-Toilet and shower compartment very small and encombrant. -Very bad Phonic isolation.

The reception staff were extremely helpful when we were faced attending to important documents sent to us from our home country. Without their help we would have been unable to complete the transaction in the required time.

I would stay again. I was there for 5 days. Being near the train station and metro is invaluable. Neighborhood is a little dirty but easy to leave it. Hotel and staff were wonderful. I questioned security and leaving valuables in the room. They couldn't believe I asked and I never had a problem with anything like that. I felt safe and comfortable.

I stayed at single room. The room space was a little small. Shower space was very small. Breakfast was very poor(vs price of 7 Euro) and the cafe room was very small. Location was excellent. Clean and Quiet.

GOOD LOCATION. THE ROOM IS NICE.

Simply value for money

The Hotel Modern'Est is literally steps away from the Gare de l'Est, which is why we chose it. The room was clean and although right over the street, it was quiet when the window was shut. I believe the hotel was advertised as being air conditioned. It is not. The breakfast, at 10 Euros, is average. The people who work there are very friendly and nice. The elevator is literally big enough for either two people who are very friendly with each other, or one person with his luggage, but that's okay, at least it exists! The beds are comfortable, the linens are clean and there's plenty of hot water, which is really all I care about at the end of the day. There's also free wireless internet, which is very convenient. The neighbourhood is not great and I wouldn't feel confident walking around there by myself at night: there were lots of homeless people and panhandlers and it was definitely a poorer section of town. Next time I would forego the convenience of being super close to the train station and stay in a nicer section of the city, which has nothing to do with the quality of the hotel itself.

Nice hotel for a short stay opposite a major metro station. The breakfast was good but I felt it was expensive. there was no hot water on the second day and we had to leave without taking a shower. Otherwise room was clean and comfortable.

Hotel Modern'Est met my standards. The location was great(next to the metro). The rooms were clean and the staff was courteous. They also understood english and even though I had the breakfast was worth the 7 euros.

It's good that there is a lift in the building, free internet access in the lobby and close to the train station.

I went for a shopping weekend the room was very clean and the staff were very welcoming. The hotel also had a great location as the metro station was right outside.

Excellent location close to rail station metro Paris center. Good room size comparing with others hotels at same price in Paris. Not the quietest surrounding but as stay on 5th floor it was not a problem. Small public area. If you need a reasonable price room to sleep close to everywhere is a very good option.

Simple room n easy to find. everything u need within reach. value for money... will definitely stay there again.

We have stayed here before. It's a good place for a single night stopover between Paris stations. 5 minutes from Nord and one minute from Est, metro station right outside the door. Plenty of eating establishments within a few minutes' walk.

basic but clean rooms - no horror stories. Good if you're on a tight budget. We stayed in a triple room for one night. It was fairly small for three people - but it made a good base for us to explore. Furniture etc is all quite dated - but it all served the purpose it needed to serve. Location wise - you couldn't get any closer to gard l'est station.

Everything was as I expected. The only real problem was that they were demolishing a building next to my window, and the noise was unbareble all day, even with soundproof glasses At night, everything was OK. Gare de L'Est e du Nord are beautiful, as well as Saint Laurent Church, all very close to the hotel. Metro station is outside the door.

Perfect location for trains, metro, buses, and eateries. Staff very good. Internet available. Breakfast - optional extra ( a bit expensive ) but OK. Overall very highly commended.

This hotel offers basic accomodation. The room had a hair dryer and a mini-bar. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. It was a reasonable value for the money.

we had a double room with a bath. it was large, incredibly quiet considering it was facing a main street, clean, generally well kept. The only complain would that the shower head had no holder on the wall and thus you had to hold the shower head above your head when showering - we didn't have any problems with this, but others might not like it. The surrounding were a little questionable but you so close to the subway that you never have to worry about walking through the seedy area at night.

non era proprio un gran che...cuscino e lenzuola sporche e uno spazio davvero piccolo. Ma siamo stati sfortunati perchè abbiamo sbirciato in una camera che era aperta, ed era molto più carina!!! Comunque per essere un due stelle i prezzi erano davvero alti, però sei a parigi con la fermata della metropolitana davanti all'entrata dell'albergo.

Prima volta che alloggio all'hotel. L'hotel è ben collegato, ha la fermata metro proprio all'uscita e la gare dell'est di fronte. La camera era veramente piccola e così il bagno, comunque tutto abbastanza pulito. Il cambio biancheria ogni due giorni. Ho curiosato e le camere con la vasca erano più spaziose (io avevo scelto quella con la doccia). Penso per lo più adatto a persone con poche pretese e che non vogliono spendere troppo, che si fermano a Parigi per qualche giorno e usano l'hotel solo per dormire.

3 days 2 nights Hotels in Paris are expensive i.g., but this one is well located (Metro just outside the Hotel & Gare de L'est only a few meters) clean and the staff are helpfull.

I needed a place to spend a night, coming from out of town to see friends and the Modern'Est exceeded expectations. It is literally across the road from the Gare de l'Est. My (double) room was surprisingly large for Paris, and the building has a lift. I also felt very safe, there is 24 hour reception and the outer door is locked at quiet times of the day. Hotel surroundings are as you would expect close to a rail station, but my street-facing room was silent when the double-glazed windows were shut. There was even a minibar in the room with drinks and snacks at very reasonable prices! A small bottle of water was 2E compared to outside prices of 1.50E. At around 90 E per night (excluding breakfast) this hotel is a bargain for Paris if you want somewhere convenient to spend a short visit.

This is an excellent hotel for the dollar paid. The area, which is close to both East and North train stations made it convenient, but also contributed to the slight seediness outside the door of the hotel. We never felt unsafe however and there were many good value restaurants clsoe by the hotel.

good hotel

a part of the mobile conditionned air was broken. in front of our window, there is a building which partly burnt, and which contains wastes so we had the smell (in addition with the smell of the fast food restaurant)!

My brother stayed in a room without windows!!! I was lucky, my room had a window, but at night was really really hot, anyway (the air condition didn't work). The shower from both rooms were broked. There is free internet in the lobby, if you can stand the cigarette smoke from the doorman - it goes directly to you. The breakfeast from the hotel... don't even think about it!!! There is a Quick next door that will provide you a much better breakfast for half price of the hotel. Well, I must say something good, so the women that clean the hotel were really kind. And the location is true, just next to Gar D'Est, but think twice because that is not a beautiful zone and, if really want to stay in the area, book on Ibis.

Once we found the hotel, we enjoyed our stay. The map we used led us around the block the LONG way, when in reality, it is just across the street from Gare de l'Est. The soundproof windows proved their worth, the beds were comfortable, though the pillows were not the best. Towels were good, space was adequate. Breakfast had protein, a plus for this family. We paid for the breakfast as convenience, though there were several options just outside the door. Old, slanted wooden staircase lent an air of authentic charm, and the early morning fire alarm gave us something to write home about! The staff was friendly, though not as helpful with tourist info as we would have thought. Kept an eye on our luggage after check-out while we were sightseeing, so that was appreciated. Not for people with issues about small elevators or stairs, but otherwise quite a nice place.

This hotel is very convenient for getting around Paris. This is an entry to the metro right outside the hotel. The only downside is the area around the hotel is a bit questionable after dark.

Location at bus, metro, and train stops is a definite plus.

Free internet access a plus. Friendly and very helpful staff. The airconditioner was a little difficult, but it worked. The metro entrance is 50 feet from the door.

Small room, very slim wall, but the position is very good, the metro station is at only 5 m! And anyway you can go in the center also by walk. the people are gentle and funny. Ok
