Hôtel Notre Dame

( 2 stars , Paris , France )

+ Location is superb. Right next to metro and place de republique with lots of bars and restaurants. Hotel is very clean. Bed and pillows rock hard and rooms very small but its cheap and the place to stay if you need to budget. - the furniture

The hotel is located on the narrow street de Malte in the 11th district, a few hundred metres from the Republique or Oberkampf metro stations. The location is ok: the street is not noisy and the rooms have PVC windows. It is within a walking distance (some 15-20 min) from Les Halles, Marais and a tad farther to the Louvre. As to the interior, it is a standard Parisian two-star hotel – tiny rooms, relatively modern amenities, shabby furniture. At 66.50 EUR for a double room with en-suite facilities (i.e. private WC and shower) it offered a reasonable value-for-money deal. However, their hygiene standards leave much to be desired: the towels were so yellow and worn out that they looked more like torn rags and it made me wonder whether it was safe to use them. I did not pack a hair dryer, relying on the information on the web-site advertising its availability “on request”. To my astonishment, when I asked for it, the receptionist retorted that I could only have it for a short while because… they only had one for the entire hotel!! I could hardly believe it – they charge seventy euros a night and they could not procure enough cheap hair-dryers for everyone to use. Astounding greed! I ended up buying my own at a corner shop for 15 euros. Otherwise, the stay was uneventful.

+ To sleep 10 hours in the room. - The smell in the room. The carpet is not okei for people, who have astma.

+ I did like the view through the window - Too much noise in the morning from the neighbour rooms becouse of the lack of sound isolation.

+ Location was pretty good. Access to Republique metro station which allows you to go anywhere in Paris. Also you can walk down to Place de La Bastille where you have many restaurants and cinemas (20min walk). If you like mangas and video games, fantastic

+ Quiet area. Well localized.
