Abotel Belgrand Hotel

( 2 stars , Paris , France )

This hotel seemed to be a cheap choice for our small budget, in a convenient location. In fact, the hotel is well located, in front of the metro station. Nearby the hotel there are many facilities (2 supermarkets,many shops, some restaurants, a postal office) and the staff is really friendly. However, our room was not clean: under the bed there were... lots of stuff!, behind the sink was full of dirtiness, the shower curtain was covered by mould and so was the wall of the bathroom. The curtains of the room were black from the dust and so was also in the breakfast room. However, the sheets and the towels were clean and were changed everyday. The breakfast was good and abundant (mediterranean style: tea, milk, coffee, bread, croissant!). The windows did not close very well and the street is quite noisy. If you look only for a very cheap accomodation, only for sleeping, and you don't mind about the cleanliness and the noise, it could be a good option. otherwise, forgot this hotel!

This was a last minute booking for three of us and I wish we hadn't bothered. The rooms (especially the floors in the bedrooms) were disgustingly filthy. The lifts didn't work and I would advise anyone to look elsewhere . I think you need a minimum of 3 stars for an hotel in Paris!

Since this is a 1* property, at 40 EUR per night, I did not expect much. I was hoping for a room on the back side where it would be a little less noisy, but was not given that choice since I had paid for the least expensive room. I stayed 5 nights and was glad I was there. This is in the 20th distr., so it is not in a tourist part of town. There is an excellent bakery down the street where you can get fresh bagettes morning and night (skip the breakfast provided by the hotel), as well as a little creperie across the street. You would choose this hotel if you wanted a cheap place to stay . I also had only a tub. a standing shower was difficult. But once I reminded myself I was not at the Hilton, and my alternative hotel in St Germain was $200/nt, I learned how to relax and take a bath. The mattress was very comfortable, and I was not disturbed by the street noise at night. I didn't even need to use my earplugs. My room was clean, and the staff cleaned my room daily, with fresh towels every day. What else do you want for 40 EUR in Paris?

For a cheap hotel in a good location it was absolutely brilliant. Just outside is a metro station which runs perfectly..never had to wait more than 2 minutes. It was perfectly clean and the rooms were cleaned extremely well and regularly. Extremely cheap to stay in with no problems at all. The staff were extremely friendly and ready to help..sound proofing in the rooms was good as well...could hardly hear the traffic. It is a brilliant base for exploring paris and we were hardly ever there so we did not want to pay for a 5* hotel..we got more than what we paid for and were extremely happy!

Esperienza DELUDENTE. Avevo prenotato tramite Venere per un periodo di 7 notti (per prudenza, ho inviato all’hotel fax di conferma più di un mese prima). Giunti a Parigi alle 22 con moglie e figlia, ci hanno detto che la stanza non era disponibile!!! Ci hanno dirottato presso l’hotel Printemps dove, non appena arrivati, hanno preteso il pagamento in anticipo di tutto il dovuto. Solo dopo abbiamo scoperto il perché: stanza sporca, senza il frigo come riportato sul sito, col secchio sotto il lavabo, biancheria cambiata una volta in una settimana, l’ascensore era per una persona. Sono INAFFIDABILI. At our arrival (at 10 p.m.) we were said that the room wasn’t available. We were sent to the hotel Printemps . There we were claimed to pay in advance all the amount. We realized the reason only later: the room was dirty, without the fridge as showed on the website, sheets and towels changed once in a week, in a word the room was of a very poor level. DON’T TRUST THEM.

Rooms basic and not very clean. Hotel staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is a good distance from the city centre.

I would advise you only stay in this hotel if you like waterproof sheets on your mattress, dribbling showers and unstable toilets. You have been warned!

I spent 6 nights there. Despite the poor breakfast (no cheese... forget about fruits, eggs or bacon), the mini-bar out of order, the absence of conventional shower (just bathtube, the french way of bathing) and the smelly room (but no that much) it worthed and I would return. In Paris, you must spend all the day long enjoying the city. Hotel, just to sleep. And it was just in front of the metro station, taking 15 minutes to most of the city attractions. That´s why it worthed. Also it was clean and had friendly staff most of the times. The only nearby attraction is the Cemetary Père Lachaise, 20 minutes walking. About the hotel, there´s a small supermarket just crossing the street, so you can buy some cheese to improve your breakfast... hehe
