Holiday Inn

The staff gave us 2 queen beds and we complained. The staff upgraded our room into suite. It’s a large, clean room and the Internet is free. The hotel is located close to the tube where we we able to explore the city easily.

Great Location next to the metro and close to many restaurants. The hotel is small but clean with plenty of outlets and free wifi.
My biggest gripe was with the temperature of the hotel room. I was freezing cold! I tried to turn the heat on but there was only cold air blowing out of the vents. When I called the hotel staff, the staff member put his hand over the vent blowing COLD air and told me that he didn’t know what I was talking about. He then told me that I should just wait. My entire stay, I was freezing. I had to wear a sweat shirt to bed. So annoying.

Hosted a group block and stayed here for a business trip recently. First day there, my clients and I were waiting for our shuttle bus when we saw a mouse run through the kitchen… strike 1.
On the second day, I sent three dresses to be dry cleaned for overnight service. They delivered on time, but unfortunately two of my knit dresses came back two sizes smaller… strike 2
There was no strike 3 luckily (other than the rooms looking quite dated). I just honestly wasn’t a fan of this hotel. Fantastic location, but stay elsewhere if you can.

I truly enjoyed my stay in the room was smaller than the pictures but it deserved all the stars that the ratings give it very clean and bright room. The TV was excellent with all the extra connections need it if you wanted to connect your AppleTV to it or your laptop to it with an HDMI cord. The curtains provided extreme blackout service and bathroom was clean and elegant.

Convenient location, nice room, nice bathroom, no free wifi in room or lobby.

Not too much to say… I would really give this hotel 2 stars but I am giving it 3 stars only because of the location.
The personnel is friendly but «flat», you can feel that they are not happy working there. Breakfast is included only on some rates (unusual for European hotels).
The worst part is that you pay like 20 Euros a day for internet. Expensive!!.
Like I said at the beginning, the location is great… you can go from there to anywhere. There is a lot of restaurants and bakeries around too.

This HI wasn’t bad… at all. For someone like me with me-​no-​French Engrish, the front staff were so accomodating.
Price is okay, everything in the city is expensive. Advance payment is good way to do as long as my trip is fixed ahead of time (almost never happen)
Room: clean-​ish, but need some renovation here man. Wall paper was ripped here and there and carpet has many markings on.
Bathroom was okay size for Paris, came with full size bath.
Internet connection was excellent, but if you want Wifi, you have to buy an hour coupon at front, kinda crazy system they have. TV was nice, even found American and Japanese channells to watch. Pay per view selection was poor so I didn’t even bother.
There’s a bar downstairs, but its very lame and better hit ones next door.
Breakfast: Hmm, cheese and bread were oh-​so-​tasty, but hey this is France. Choices are very limited, and compare to other hotels I’ve stayed in Paris this is HI all the way, minimal (You can always walk around the hotel for better options)
Overall this location is very good, near North and East station. The downside is the area is not so safe, and I would be careful walking around at night, especially coming from North station (take Metro to East if its running) My French local assett told me I was stupid to stay there. Oh well.

ok… i’ll start my reviews from my trip to Paris with the hotel itself. we stayed here for 7 nights… the hotel seemed surprised by the length of our stay when we checked in… we were here for my friend’s wedding (we’ve been friends since we were in 1^st grade together)
this was my first trip to Paris and i’ve heard horror stories about the teeny tiny rooms… we booked last minute (3 days before departure) so i didn’t have time to research hotels… so i booked a package deal through AAA travel and selected an «american chain hotel».
my opinion went up and down throughout my stay… a few things annoyed me… but overall it was a very pleasant stay…
my first priority in a hotel room…
#1 the hotel was very clean!!! a few stains on the carpet… but the bed was clean
#2 bed was comfy… not my memory foam king size bed at home, but comfy and big enough to fit my big self and my 6 ft 4 inch giant of a husband.
#3 priority club members have a dedicated floor… so i assume the rooms are somewhat nicer??? well i was happy enough with my room.
#4 room was air conditioned (no blasting air… but enough)…felt nice after walking around town
#5 the rooms were quiet!!! seriously quiet
#6 room blackening curtains (not darkening. literally black as a moonless night dark!)…this was great since the sun didn’t set till after 11. we were out having fun late… we would roll into the hotel room anywhere between 2 am and 8 am… and sleep past noon…
#7 friendly and helpful service (even when i rolled in after a long night of partying). we rarely use the concierge b/​c who needs to with internet??? well since they couldn’t provide that to us, we used the human help for disneyland hours and train routes and restaurant address etc…
view of the train station (opposite side of eiffel tower view)…it was still a gorgeous view.
negative:
almost impossible to get ice (i brought an insulated lunch bag in case there was not fridge… and there wasn’t.BOOO!!)
no fridge
no free wifi!!! ok and i was willing to pay a daily surcharge if it was reasonable… like $ 10 a day… but they wanted to charge hourly some ridiculous amount! who the hell sits on a computer for an hour straight… i wasn’t gonna pay $ 10 to check my email (which takes 3 minutes)…fortunately we found out the the café next door has free wifi… so we lingered outside that restaurant and Skype’d our kids and checked our email… would have been nice to do it from the quiet and comfort of our room.
i think that’s all. i’ll post pics!!!
and yes… i would stay here again…

This is a really great hotel location just across the street from Gare de l’Est (Train Station East) and there’s a nice Market a block away called «Monop» which is nice since there are no snack machines in the hotel. Rooms are nice, some are quite small if, for example you are requesting just one bed. Internet is a hefty € 18 a day, although I was able to find a stray network which worked if I held my lip just right.

I’ve stayed in this hotel twice when visiting a nearby customer and I was very pleased. Welcomed at the check-​in desk in English, my non-​smoking room was clean and did not smell even slightly of smoke (hooray!). Nicely laid out, the desk had easy to access electricity (US and Europe outlet configurations) and enough room to spread out my laptop and paperwork. Television worked well, even if most of the channels were in French. I found two US channels at least.
Many of the rooms face south or west, so I was pleased to have a room that had a decent view of the Eiffel Tower. Bonus!
The restaurant on the ground floor does a decent breakfast — it’s worth it to include this in your stay. Eggs, coffee, piles of great french bread, sliced meats and cheeses, even hot milk for your coffee. For dinner, I’ve had a few of the different items, including the pasta dish. But I really recommend the cheeseburger. I know, how American of me. But it’s a really good burger! Sesame seed bun, big piece of ground beef, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and what I am sure is McDonald’s special sauce. Good stuff. Oh, and they also have a few beers. I really enjoyed Leffe so much, I’ve been looking for it since I returned to the UK.
Great hotel, good service, nice room.
