Clichy, Paris Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We booked this hotel for two nights but had to check out to check ot early in the morning before the checkout time. This is because the hotel has: Only two (2) bathrooms shared among all guests in the whole of the 6 floors, the sheets were dirty, our room had no fan, no television, no elevator in the hotel and there mosquito in the room. Additionally, the staff were not wiling to assist.

I have stayed in many similar hotels in Paris and Hotel Savoy is a typical, basic hotel you'll find in Paris and in the near suburbs. The room we stayed in was adequate and fairly clean but the carpet was worn and needed replacing. The walls could also have done with repainting. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was originally going to stay alone but my friend was able to join me and staff managed to find us a twin room at the last minute at no extra cost. The hotel is out of the Paris périphérique and therefore cheaper than similar hotels in Paris itself. However, Mairie de Clichy métro station is only a 5 minute walk away and line 13 will bring you to Saint Lazare station in about 10 minutes. If you miss the last train back, night bus 15 that you get from Place du Châtelet in central Paris, drops you at the end of the road. If you are more interested in seeing the sights of Paris rather than paying for luxury accommodation and just want somewhere basic and clean to sleep, Hotel Savoy is a good choice.
