Poor Restaurant
the restaurant took around 30 mins just to bring the menu, and when I ordered a bottle of water they never brought it. they took my order after 45 mins, and due to all tables around me complaining about the service I decided to leave and cancelled my order. The gym has limited space.

We didn't like the hotel at all. I don't know how it was considered 4 stars!! Our room floor looks disgusting and full of stains. We didn't have a mini fridge in our room to keep our water cool in the hot days we were there.

This is not a 4 star hotel, its 3 or 2. The windows could not be opened, and there was no minibar. They did not clean the room during 2 days stay.

I’ve stayed in many Paris hotels, and if you’re expecting a 4-star, avoid this one. It should lose a star, and management needs to address the poor state. Clearly, guest experience is not a priority. I paid £500 for 2 nights in a “superior” room with a view, but it felt more like a dated 3-star motel. Check-in was bland—no interaction, no explanation of services, not even a confirmation of my booking. Staff seemed untrained. The 10th-floor corridor was dark and outdated, and the room wasn’t any better—cramped, gloomy, and unclean. The only positive was the view of the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. The depressing color scheme of browns and grays made the room feel even worse. Nothing about the room was "superior." A few Rituals products don't compensate for the lack of basics like robes, slippers, or water. £250 per night for this? The bathroom was tiny, with a faulty showerhead, and the loose socket was dangerous. The towels were so thin they were practically see-through. Clearly, the room wasn’t maintained. Breakfast was chaotic. The food was poor, and the hot dishes weren’t even warm. The dining area was unclean. This hotel isn’t any better than the IBIS next door. I’m just relieved I only stayed for 2 nights.

The bedsheets were made out plastic, and the mini fridge was removed from the room. No complementary water was in the room although it was stated when the room was ordered. Furthermore we had a tv but no remote control. It would have been better if they kept the fridge and removed the tv

Good value for the money
Pro: close to metro line 1, which is a good line to be on (direct access to major tourist sites, if a bit far; this is metro Zone 3). Good location for the money. Con: location-wise, this is a business district, nothing is open over the weekend; awkwardly located between traintracks and highways/bridges, so not walkable at all. I didn't book the breakfast thinking that I would eat around the hotel, but there was no good options. The breakfast was 19.50 Euros, which I thought was a bit pricey. The staff was very unprofessional, seemed very inexperienced. I complained about dirty grouts in the shower and instead of cleaning it, they offered me a free bottle of beer. They also didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the area. All in all, a solid 8/10, given the location and the value.
