Hotel Palym - Paris

Great staff. This hotel was clean and the price was correct for an hotel near Gare De Lyon.

The street in front of the hotel should be cleaned often. You need a couple of plants by and in the entrance. The room needs a dresser with drawers for people staying longer than overnight. The shower needs a soap dish.

Its location in front of gar de lyon is excellent..near other landmarks of paris like bastille

Best hotel in Paris so far. Will come back.

The location was so good, there is near the station 'Gare de Lyon'. The Hotel will be found as soon as you go out from the exit 1 of Metro station. Hotel stuff will give you satisfied time, the type of room is so simple for staying. I will stay this hotel again when I visit to Paris!

A toilet water pipe all the night over our heads!! Don't stay into the noisy room number 1 ....

It was a nice week-end in Paris, the hotel was really near the station. I'm sure to go again in this hotel next time!

I have been to Paris several times and this hotel was a pleasant surprise for me. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, the hotel location is excellent, though it is next to Gare de Lyon, the area is far better and safer than Gare du Nord/Gare de l'Est. What is negative - small rooms, no wardrobe in my room (my colleague had one anyway), only hangers but I survived it somehow. Overall this was well worth for the money I paid, I would recommend to anybody not addicted to luxury.

Excellent value for money, great location close to Gare de Lyon, friendly staff

Hotel exactly what I wanted / expected being very near to Gare de Lyon & enough enjoyable cafes/restaurants nearby to enjoy my very short pass-through time in Paris.

It seems strange, at this stage of progress that has no tub shower curtain ....

Very much as described. Our triple room was quite spacious and very clean. The street noise was present, but not unexpected as we were by the train station. Location is great. A very pleasant surprise, all in all.

great position(20 meters from Metro/REC station and the Air France shuttle bus station to the airport), the staff is happy to help, the rooms are very clean. Strongly recommanded!

good place.

Very close to Gare De Lyon station which was why this hotel was chosen. Close to cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, etc., makes this location very convenient. Staff were helpful but not overly open, small rooms though for the price & breakfast was the standard coffee and croissant. NO INTERNET in the lounge.

Excellent location across from Gare de Lyon. The room and large (for Paris) bathroom were impeccably clean. Unfortunately, our room - Room 1 - had the drain outlet column for the floors above running through it in a cupboard right by the bed. Every time anyone flushed a toilet or drained a basin anywhere above us, the sound of rushing water woke us at all hours of the night. At 5.00 am, a delivery of clean linen to the hotel took place - with much banging and shouting - right outside our window. Our overall impression of the hotel was that it was clean and well-run but - after a sleepless night - we would warn any guest NOT to accept Room 1, if it were offered. Rooms elsewhere in the hotel may well be absolutely OK and, had we been staying more than one night, we would definitely have requested a change.

air conditioning wasn't working because there wasn't control. I had to ask the reception's control to make it work (around 35 Celsius degree). The sink was loosing water from the bottom.

The room was small. The bed was large and comfortably firm. Staff were great and would gladly return.

The female in the dining room was very rude and without a smile and did not appear to like her employment.Was observed to be rude and abrupt to several guests.My wife and I found the reception staff to be very helpfull.

Internet service was lousy, and you can here the trafic noise and people outside. Air condition was not working just blowing air. Other than that, the hotel location is great and pretty clean. I will choose this Hotel again. I liked Venere customer service I will use it again and refer others to it. Thank you.

Very quiet, clean, spacious and modern functional rooms. Very good housekeeping. Near main public transport systems.

Overall every thing was very nice, but there was one night that I was waked up by the room next door (could easily hear them from the wall). Luckily it was only one night, that I have neighbors. Otherwise, I think they next guests should be a little far from my room.

Great location if Gare de Lyon is something you will need. If I had not had an early train, I would have been a litte more central. However Metro across the street so it was easy to get places. Staff was nice and helpful. Would stay again.

The location is very good! Very near from the Gare de Lyon and the busstop to the CDG airport. The receptionist who attended to me at the check-in was very kind and friendly. The single room I stayed was very small, but clean. I could use wi-fi in the room.

Covenient location in front of train station but can be a little difficult to find as there are many streets in front of train station. Friendly staff. Was there a cologne sprayed in our room? The smell was very strong when we walked in. Other than that rooms were clean and large. Loved that they maintain the character of the building.

We received excellent help from the front desk on all occasions. Room was small but very nice for a 2 star hotel. Very easy access from the Gare de Lyon- right accross the street. Limited breakfast choice but at a good price -8e

Veronique and all the staff was fabulous! Thank you for making us feel at home in Paris.

This Hotel is a very good compromize between costs, location and adjacent services as banks, markets, boulangeries, restourants). The street Gilbert is very quiet. For the dinner we suggest La Place Royal in Place des Vosges (metro 1, stop Bastille or Saint Paul).

We were very pleased with the hotel, the quality of the hotel and the standard of service were very high. One thing to mention is the classic French breakfast - which was not inclusive - which isn't as comprehensive or cohesive as hotel breakfasts we've enjoyed in Berlin, Amsterdam or Rome. With the Gare de Lyon over the road and restuarants like Les Garnements nearby, perhaps better value could be found elsewhere.

Very quiet though dark as overlooking a wall

A nice hotel in a perfect location to get around Paris. The metro entrance was at the end of the block, making easy access to the metro & RER. Easy access to/from CDG via the Blue RER & yellow metro line. A small grocery at the end of the block, & many small restaurants / cafes close by.

Very satisfied. Perfect place, quiet and near central station and metro. recomended

RER from Paris Nord to Gare de Lyon easy . Hotel easy to find from station.Close to Seine for walk along to Notre Dame and Louvre. Great to be able to leave cases after check out so we could make the most of final day in Paris.Eating places plentiful and much the same but recommend Taverne Karlsbrau - relais D'Alsace for sea food and good meat dishes- lots of French eating there!

The Palym is very close to Gare Lyon which was very good for us as we were traveling by train and this was our first visit to Paris. Now that we have discovered that the metro system has no peer in our experience, we will probably stay elsewhere in the city should we return someday. The only drawback to the Palym for us was that the air conditioning system is centrally controlled and the evenings were exceptionally warm and uncomfortable in our rooms making sleep difficult. If you leave your windows open to get some relief, you get swamped by all the street noise especially near the train station.

Really enjoyed my 4 night stay at the Palym at the end of May 2012 and will stay there again the next time I am in Paris. I was in a small-ish single room, but plenty large enough for a solo traveller. Bathroom / bedroom spotlessly clean. I found the shower cubicle quite small and I am no more than average height/weight. Nevertheless this was not a major problem. The bathroom itself was a reasonable size. Staff very friendly, helpful, and this was a major plus. So a big thanks to all of the staff at the Palym. Hotel is opposite the Gare de Lyon station so very handy for getting around Paris. Surrounding area is safe, busy until late at night with plenty of bars/resturants so would never go hungry/thirsty. Big thank you again to the Palym. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

We were given the accessible room (not our request) which meant for spacious room and very spacious bathroom; it was next to the breakfast room, so it also probably would be noisy after 7:00. We had an early train out so didn't find out. The location near Gare de Lyon train station was perfect! Only a few steps off the main street; the air conditioned room meant we could keep our window closed. New decor made everything look really clean. Easy ground floor access.

It is a very nice hotel!! We breakfasted very well and the rooms are nice. Employees very nice. We have been very good!!!

The hotel is very well situated for those who come to Paris by train. There's is also a metro station next to it. Although it's nearby a busy street rooms are quiet and you don't hear the traffic. The staff is welcoming. There are a few cafés /restaurants just in front of the train station (Gare de Lyon)where you can enjoy a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner. In a parallel street there's a little super market if you need to buy anything. The hotel itself is maybe not attractive for those who want to spend a romantic weekend in a beautiful surrounding but if you come to visit Paris and you look for a decent place to sleep I would recommend it without hesitation. I think the quality for the price is good.

Very nice and helpful staff. The walls seemed rather thin, but noise was from other guests, not from the outside. It is too far from the city center to walk to most sites easily, but it is across the street from a train station and subway station, and very close to another train station/subway station. Local restaurants were good. We had trouble with the wi-fi kicking us off often, and the tub wasn't entirely clean at check in. No one could do anything about it until the next day.

After the mix up of rooms was sorted out we had an excellent stay. The family room was spaceous and very comfortable. The hotel was conveniently situated for all areas of Paris (only a short walk to the Bastille and Marais District). Staff were very polite and helpful. We would definately stay again.

Very nice stay, extremely nice staff. Good location and very pleasant room. WIFI was excellent.

parfait!

More than half of the 3 days we stayed there, the wifi connection didn't work. It seems to me there is not enough IP address for all to use. Other than it, in general the location and value for money are quite good.

The direction to the hotel on the booking confirmation needs to be updated. Instead of taking a direct train from Gare de Norb station to the hotel, we were instructed to change trains etc . Only at our departure from the hotel did we found out that the hotel is only 3 stations away, on a direct line. Overall very pleased with the location and our spacious room. The staff speaks good English and were very helpful and friendly.

Website Directions to hotel from Gare de Lyon not good. Better to advise - Exit by Main Concourse. Also directions from Gare du Nord out of date - change to Take RER Line D. No need to change at Chatelet les Halles or use Metro.

We had a real good stay at Palym Hotel. We had a little problem with french neighbours the second night, because they were really noisy. It was my fault not to call the reception immediately as I was suggested the day after. The other only thin is about breakfast that is a little too expensive for adults but really too much for kids e there is not a distinction of price. Just across the road you can have breakfast for 5.70€ (8,00 in hotel)

conveniently located to public transportation - nice, clean, comfortable room - when they say "only 2 people at a time in elevator", they mean it, though - good restaurants in area - nice, attended breakfast room - good coffee - helpful, friendly staff -

Fantastic hotel. Great location. had quadruple room, very spacious and clean. handy for Gare de Lyon. wonderful Italian restaurant just in the street above round the corner - fantastic. Overall we loved it and are saving to return again. We had breakfast on day one but expensive for 8 euros. Patisserie just round the corner so went there instead! Loads of cafes around. Loved it.

nice place, very clean and modern, staff is very polite and friendly. Nevertheless it's better to take a room that has a street view, because in the yard it's pretty noisy and stinky and it would be more considerable to have a breakfast outside the hotel, cause price doesn't meet the quality of the meal

I stayed in a double size room, spacious enough but not roomy, clean, but noisy at night since it is so close to the train station and the Boulevard, but the good side to it, is that it takes no time to get to the train station with the luggqge, and also the Air France Shuttle stop from CDG airport is only two minutes away. The only one thing I would like to see an improvement is in the quality of the Breakfast.

After many times in Paris, this was the "best bang for the buck" hotel.

Thought this hotel was good for what you pay. The room we stayed in was starting to look a bit run down though and will probably need work done in the next couple of years. Had no issue with sound coming in from outside but could hear the guests in the next room talking and laughing at 3am every night! Overall would recommend Palym for a short stay at a good price.

We booked this hotel becasue it is very close to Gare de Lyon where we need to take the train to Avignon. As it turned out, the hotel is fairly nice by 2 stars standard. Only criticism was that the receptionist did not allow us check in even we are only 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled check-in time. However, she was polite. Also this hotel has very spacious luggage rooms seperately for arriving and departing guests and this is a plus.

Location is excellent, 5 mins from the Gare de Lyon, metro and bus stop for airport shuttle. Room abit small for a triple because of space taken up by add-on bathroom(looks like a small hut in the corner of room). The room had an airconditioner and it was certainly an invaluable feature. The neighbourhood was bustling with activities from nearby brasseries, patisseries, restaurants, pharmacy and supermarket. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Truly excellent hotel, with attentive staff and high-quality service. The building looks dull from the outside, but the moment you step in, it feels spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Also has a very convenient location, with Gare de Lyon a block away, with easy connections to metro, local rail, and even the TGV! Highly recommended.

Our second stay at Palym, very clean room on 6th floor, perfect for catching train to south next day. breakfast good because includes yogurt and puree as well croissants etc all very fresh.

Desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Kitchen staff (petit dejeuner only) were functional at best. Overall the location, 100 yards from the Gare de Lyon is makes this hotel extremely appealing.

This hotel is best described as great quality for money. It was perfect for our one night stay. Excellent location and the staff were very friendly. We have been to Paris before and have stayed at this hotel before. We would readily stay there again. We also ate at a great Creperie on Rue De Lyon around the corner from the hotel.

Good location and convenient to transportation by metro and rail. Location for tourism is a bit far from the sights.

Hotel Palym easier to find if you get off the train from the front of Gare de Lyon and look to your left its the first street on the left after the main street. Very close to station and the room was excellent would definitely stay again.

great location and price. maybe more direction on how to arrive from train station as it was not very clear and took some time to find.

Second stay with friends in this hotel, excellent price-quality. Rooms were clean, spacious and quiet. Breakfast is very good, french style. The location is perfect, you will find everything you need in the hotel surroundings.

I arrived the hotel at about 9am after 12 hours flight. Rooms were available but the reception insisted that I can only check in at 2pm as according to the hotel ruling. Very rigid. Hotel not recommended.

Nice hotel. Room and bathroom very clean. And charming personal. Perfect location if you want to visit the town. And reasonably price having into account you are in Paris and accomodation prices are high. I recommend it.

Rooms are spacious, and the price is very attractive for Paris.

Excellent hotel, quiet and nice

rather big room with double size bed (Queen size), newly painted hotel, competent and nice staff, I wanted to book another night but hotel was full... 1 minute from train station, Train Bleu bar, many good Brasseries in the neighbourhood, walking distance from Bastille quartier. Excellent hotel for category and price.

Excellent location, friendly staff, rooms are clean and pleasant

Staff very kind and competent. Very clean rooms and public areas. The rooms are a bit small and do not invite for a long holiday. The hotel can be recommended for a short stay as it is conveniently located close to the Gare de Lyon and the Metro station. Good value for the price.

A comfortable and pleasant hotel in a quiet side street. Good quality for two-star accommodation. The area does not have many tourist attractions, but the hotel is a five-minute walk from the station, where you can catch the metro or RER and be anywhere in Paris very quickly.

Room was small, bathroom was tiny, but was very clean, location was excellent.

what struck me especially about the hotel palym was the first look at the room--it was beautiful and so large for a paris hotel, we had a balcony as requested, with view of clocktower of gare de lyon,so convenient location--metro entrance across street. the room was so nicely decorated, moulded high ceilings,very nice colors. the bathroom was large enough, so clean, great shower. occasion for stay was leisure.

This is a real gem of a hotel - completely updated, and clean and modern. Great location just steps from Gare de Lyon, and near lots of bistros and brasseries. Beds were great, and breakfast was excellent value with good selection/quality for a Continental breakfast (buffet format). Elevator is nice to have. Bathroom very modern and clean. Our view was awful (ie. non-existant) but that wasn't a problem as we were out except to sleep. Nice lounge area to relax with a glass of wine at night. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a terrific place at a great price.

Clear room and helpful staff. Good location, just like the description. I would like to stay again. There is a small left available, but only for 2 persons and the luggages.

Great hotel in front of Gare de Lyon and very close to Gare d'Austerlitz. Staff not very welcoming, tough. Breakfast OK for 7,5€

nice clean rooms, top floor great views of gare de Lyon, two minutes walk away, but on quietish street, so peaceful feel. Breakfast basic but ok . Good area for restaurants and the garden in the air,

I stayed in Paris on business. Transportation was fantastic as the hotel is very near to GARE DE LYON. It's just 2stop to go to OPERA by RER A. It's also easy to go to CDG airport.

The hotel is located two minutes walk from the Gare De Lyon with good connections to both the Metro and RER systems with lots of places to eat close by. All Paris hotels have small rooms for the price and are relatively expensive. The hotel Palym was no different however from the time that we arrived we were happy with the service that we received all of the staff that we came into contact with were friendly and accomodating when dealing with our requests and were multi lingual. The room was quiet (we had requested this!) although a little cell like as it faced onto a inner chimney like courtyard, other rooms were brighter but faced onto the street. Bedding was changed every two days and the room was clean. Breakfast was typically French with the usual limited choice but it was self-service so you could eat what you wanted, there was no need to leave hungry!! Breakfast was priced at 7.50 Euro's (Sept 2010) it was in line with atlernaties close by. We would definatly recommend the hotel as a place to stay for a short break were you require a reasonable place to sleep while visiting the sites of Paris!!

Location is very close to Gare de Lyon, and there are several restaurants and cafes nearby that make this a great location. Would not recommend for light sleepers, as there is noise throughout the night from the street.

Excellent experience at Hotel Palym. Great location for easy access into the city cetre. Lots of lovely places to eat in the close proximity of the hotel too. Highly recommended.

nice small hotel, very central area, quite surroundings and kind staff. Well connected with the CDG airport and close to Gare du Lyon station

Great Facilities and service, very clean. Very easy to reach by train, Air France Bus, Bus and Touristic Bus.

This hotel was 1/2 a block from Gare De Lyon and it was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if/when I go back to Paris. The room was small, but I expected that and only used the room to sleep in.

A really good hotel, i don't want to under estimate it because of a very stange reaction when i asked to change my room they told me i hv to evacuate my room at 12 and put my luggage in the luggage room and then check in the new room at 2:00 !!!!!!!, this is a critical mistake that could ever happen to anybody, but i received a nice appology from the manager, except this, everything is fine the location, the room, and the surroundings, may stay there again.

I stayed at the Palym for one night with my daughter, cause we had to take a train the next day from Gare de Lyon. The staff was very friendly, the room clean and quiet, because it was going to the backside of the building. We weren't lucky with the light situation, it was very dark. It wasn't spacious as well, but I guess this is a general problem in Parisian hotels that price category. It has a nice location, you are in the middle of everything, the Metro isn't far and the street is a side street, so it isn't very loud. Breakfast was ok.

The location of the Palym is convenient and our room was quite spacious and clean. We arrived late a night and the reception staff was welcoming and helpful. We would come back if taking another weekend break in Paris as we had no complaints about our stay nor the price.

It said from the hygiene side, the vessel, and the safety side, and all were the lowest hotels.

Palym more than satisfied our simple needs -- a clean, quiet, and inexpensive hotel near the Gare de Lyon. We would stay there again.

I had a really nice stay in this hotel, and would totally stay there again!! The room&bathroom was clean, not small and I heard overall very few noise. The hotel location is perfect, near the metro station and surrounded by cafés and little rastaurants for breakfast and dinner. Everyone from the staff was very kind and helpful! Price/quality is excellent, i recommend this hotel!

We choosed this hotel for its convenient price and we're very happy with our staying! The room and bathroom are clean, the receptionists are very kind and helpful. The hotel is near the metro station and surrounded by lots of Cafés, brasseries, little restaurants and boulangeries. I will totally stay there again!

The hotel is situated in the area of the Gare de Lyon: there is a direct bus connection between the Gare and airport Charles de Gaulle, there are some brasseries and small shops around as well as the metro station. it is not directly in the center of Paris, but not far by walk (approx. 25 min. to the Iles de la Seine, 40 min to the Louvre) and with metro line 1 its easy to reach the center. The hotel itself was nice, the stuff friendly. The room was small, but clean and absolutely quiet. The only thing which some might not like is: TV has only french programms. But for me it was defenitely ok, i would absolutely book this hotel again.

Lovely small hotel situated in a quiet side street just a stones throw from Gare de Lyon. Very friendly, helpful staff. We needed somewhere to stay overnight near to the station as we had an early train to catch to Geneva, this fitted the bill perfectly. The rooms are (at least our room was) quite small but were clean and well equipped. Typical continental "eat-as-much-as-you-like" breakfast buffet (€7.50 - not included). Would recommend and use again.

Convenient location, very clean facilities. Excellent price and quality. Surroundigs are not the best in Paris but you have a Metro station just a few steps from the hotel.

It's a good choice having a great ubication and cheap rates.

The hotel is modest but very clean. My room is samll but opens to an interior court an therefore very quiet. The hotel is very located

Breakfast is too poor for price 7,5 €. I recommend adding some cheese and salami.

The elavator was out of order but kindly they gave me a romm on ground floor

The hotel was generally as reviewed by others, with our room larger than we normally see in Paris in this price range. The staff was very friendly and helpful, as well as multi-lingual. Very good location for access to the metro and trains. One definite problem on this trip--the lift was broken during our entire stay. Staff, however, offered to carry up our bags to the 2nd floor upon arrival. Our room was on the street side, and with the window open there was definitely more street noise than we would have liked well into the night.

They were very uptight about us borrowing their bar's wine glasses to take to our room... seemed odd for a country that specializes in wine. We've never encountered that problem anywhere else. Otherwise, it was a great place! Amazing location!
