New Hotel Candide - Paris

The room that was given to me was facing a wall. I asked to change, and the second room has the following defects: the toilet did not work, and one of the light bulbs was out; The third room was okay!

Don't want to bother commenting on web page.

Maybe not so cheap, but good for Paris. Very close to tube station, my poor rating is due more for quality/price relation than the overall quality of hotel

The staff made the stay outstanding very helpful.

Had a problem with heater in bathroom. It took two days to fix it. Poor quality coffee in breakfast room. Carpets etc. need some renewal.

This hotel was a place to stay only. It was convenient to the metro but the room was so small we had no room for our luggage. We booked a triple room for 3 adults and the third bed was a foldout. The room was really just a small double. Breakfast was good but would not stay here again. Taxi got lost trying to find it from the Station!

I found this so called hotel to be the worst on my recent trip around Europe.. I would class it nearer a 1 star ..they need to update the interior not just the exterior and reception..Overpriced and I didnt get the things mentioned ie tea and coffee making nor car parking ..the breakfast had stale bread rolls mixed with fresh all in all a place to avoid

Everything was as advertised and we were very happy overall. The only service that was not provided as stated was the tea/coffee making facility. I did ask at reception upon our arrival and they did bring us a cup of tea to the room (which they charged us for) but we had expected a kettle/cups/milk etc as advertised.

We stayed 2 days at a very busy time; we did not know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised by the convenience and thw quality of the hotel for the rate paid.

I enjoyed the stay very much. The staff was very friendly. The Taxi ride from Gare Lyon was only 6 Euros

Great on-line value (89 euros) vs. walk-in rate (140 euros). w/in walking distance to marais district & blocks away from metro. noisy/busy street with the windows open, but no a/c. b/fast included quite good.

I stayed in this hotel only 1 night. Like most of the hotels of this class in old buildings of Paris, this one had a very small room. But this and slight problems with ventilation in the bathroom are actually the only negative thing i can remember. The staff was very friendly, bathroom newly rennovated, bed was convenient to sleep - everything was just fine.

The triple rooms are too little. Good for people who only use the hotel as a place di sleep and have breakfast. The position is good: it's possible to reach Pere lachaise and Place de la Bastille on foot.

Kindly people and well located. We had a nice holidays. The breakfast was included and it was de reason because we choosed it. We recommend to spend few days.

On walking distance to the Marais, Place the Vosges and the Bastille. Close to the Metro. Hotel with rather small but comfortable rooms and very kind, welcoming personel. Direct neighbourhood is not touristic but very much Paris.

After one month traveling in Europe with two young teenagers, Hotel Candide stood out as one of our best bargains. Paying 95 euros for a comfortable and clean triple room with a hearty breakfast for all of us included in the fee, was a bargain in Paris. The employees at the desk, (especially Jacques), were amazingly friendly, helpful, and patient with a middle aged, directionally challenged, teacher who only speaks English. They gave directions, called a cab, lent us a fan for the room, opened up wine bottles, etc. The help in the breakfast room never stopped filling the buffet of fresh breads, yogurt, breakfst meats, coffee, juices, etc., and cleared tables quickly. Also, room service was also available for breakfast,if you wished. The location was safe, located in a middle/working class section of Paris with some wonderful bakeries and a lovely park close by. We were able to travel from the Voltaire metro station (less than a three minute walk from the hotel) to all the popular attractions/neighborhoods of Paris within about 20 minutes. A heat wave hit that week, and our fifth floor room was warm, but I didn't expect air conditioning, in a 2 star hotel. After our experiences in Rome, London, Brugge, etc., I can say that this hotel was a bargain, and reccomend it to those on a budget, who also want a clean (if slightly worn) room, a staff who will help those who speak English and other languages, in a safe neighborhood. We had a wonderful time in Paris, and virtually everyone we encountered from the metro employees, to waitresses, train conductors, and people on the street,were amazingly kind and friendly to this subruban mom and her two kids. Met some fellow Americans who were rather loud,disgruntled, and disparging about the hotel, and the city in general, and surprise, surprise, they had a very different experience than mine in the hotel and around the city. What goes around, comes around! We will certainly visit Hotel Candide on our next trip to Paris!

Good quality for the price. Rich breakfeast. Nice quater of the town. Marion and Martin from Germany

"New Hotel Candide" was full and took us to another hotel. This was really great, because Hotel Candide took us to a nice hotel, with very friendly personal.

Le camere sono piuttosto piccole, ma questo sembra essere una prerogativa diffusa degli alberghi a Parigi. Molto buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo considerato anche il fatto che la Ia colazione è compresa nel prezzo del soggiorno. Ottima la posizione, anche se non centralissima, la metro è a 2 passi ed in pochi minuti si è in centro.

Excellent rooms and service and breakfast. we paid 90euro prices at the hotel were for 230euro. though it is more a hotel for business people judging from the people who staying there

Hotel was very clean and welcoming. Staff was friendly and professional. Bad points though is that we could hear all the conversation of our neighbours in the room next door. But in overall we are very satisfied with our stay. We had breakfasr in Bed (croissants, coffee, baguette, mmmm!) and that was delicious! I would recommend this hotel because it is in a good location (very easy access with the metro) and value for money for Paris. Even if the rooms are a bit small, they look quite good and modern!

The hotel is excellent value for money. Rooms and public areas are very clean and staff were always very helpful. (Just watch out for breakfast time -don't miss the 10am close time or you will miss out even if you arrived just prior. Was disappointed that a laundry was shown on the web pages but none is actually available. We went to the laundromat down the road. Located in a good average Parisian area.

The hotel was pleasant enough, but the inside could have done with a lick of paint! Generally good value for money ....... a little further out of Marais than the hotel suggested

Average hotel, average price, okay if you have no higher expectations and no additional extras or services requested good price/ quality relationship

In my opinion I received a single room pied as double room

People are very friendly and the hotel is clean. Very good breakfast to be a 3 star hotel. The room was TOO little and the sight from the window awful (inside plant of the palace, very hard in the morning to see if it was a sunny or a cloudy day). We needed artificial light all day. To be Paris we paid few (85€ per day included breakfast), so perhaps a good relationship Quality/Price,but actually both room and toilette were incredibly small (even hard to remain sitted on the loo (I am not joking). SO: if you want to spare money OK, if you want a bit of confort...
