The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Price was great for being so close to the center of the city. The plumbing should be fixed, at least in the room we had, as the toilet did not have a S curve in the pipes so gas from the sewer made it into our room constantly.

Not much comfort
We use to stay in much better hotels. But because Paris is so expensive we decided to save some money. Hotel has good location. Breakfast €6 - plain baguette, croissant, jam, butter nuttela and orange juice and coffee. Made a mistake prepaid breakfast for all nights. Is it worth it? It was noisy from other rooms at night.

Awful!! Don’t go there!!
The heating didn’t work and I travelled during winter, I was looking for a way to get warm! The bedsheets were dirty and smelled really bad, they had holes and burn marks.. I didn’t want to sleep with those bedsheets! So I requested new ones but they gave me only the mattress and pillows cover, not a blanket… so I was cold the whole nights (3). The bathroom smelled awful! It doesn’t have ventilation and when I was going to use the toilet, you don’t want to know what I found… The smell gets out of the bathroom and goes all over the room, we were 2 gests and they gave us only 1 towel. The building has 5 floors and no elevators, I hope you decide not to go to this hotel but if you do, get ready to climb a lot of stairs… also, when I asked for breakfast the receptionist man was smoking outside, he just came in and didn’t wash his hands, he prepared the breakfast for us…

Value for money stay for a Paris trip
Hotel has all the facilities available at this price point in Paris. Friendly front desk, will take the keys for safekeeping every time you leave the hotel. Hotel is in pretty busy area but no noise issue as it is on a quiet street. Lot of affordable cafes, Arabic/Turkish restaurants and grocery stores near by. Will recommend.

It was too dirty a place. The room was very dirty, the bed was dirty, there was no bathroom in the room and the bathroom that was in the passage was too dirty and stinky. Also the area was too dangerous, they almost robbed me when I entered the hotel. a place of high crime. it was too terrifying an experience.

Unhappy stay
No elevator, very steep and narrow stairs. Very small room for 3 Guests. No amenities available. The only positives are the presence of a lot of restaurants around.

Grubby, shabby dive.
Very shabby hotel. No lift. Noisy. Shared bathroom was dirty and the shower fitting was broken and on one day there was no hot water. Room was shabby and dirty. The day I checked in, there was someone else's rubbish still in the room. Inadequate lighting in the room and the one power point well hidden, so I had to pull bed out to use the phone charger. Wifi was free but extremely weak signal so didnt work. It was supposed to be a non smoking hotel but it stunk of smoke. I was asked to leave the room key at the desk when I went out and ask for the key again went I came back. WHY?? They said as the desk was manned round the clock, it shouldn't be a problem. One morning I left the hotel at 6.00am. and the 'receptionist' was asleep on a camp stretcher. Probably why I totally ignored this rule.

Would not stay again
Hotel was old and in need of renovation. When I book a hotel I almost always need wifi. They did not have working wifi as advertised but they did move us to a room where we could use the reception wifi. Some lights didn't have bulbs, tables weren't assembled and the sinks weren't attached to the walls or floor.

Sketchy area
Sketchy area-- there were homeless guys in front of the hotel and late at night a group of young men doing drugs. Dark rooms. No AC, just a small fan. I will not return here. I was scared my entire stay.

I liked it
I liked it , minutes away from the metro & shopping area , you've got theatre & nightlife minutes away , the hotel itself is a typical 2 star affair but it's a case of you pay for what you get , the staff are there 24/7 the rooms get cleaned daily , there is good point & bad points but for Paris I found it more than fine

A but tired
Needs a good cleaning (and new towels;they were damp and gray). Bed was good and bathroom very good! Wouldn't take my American express card upon checkout and I had to go to an Atm to get cash to pay!! And then i had to ask for a receipt!! I think there were better hotels in the area for a bit more money.....get what you pay for.

Nice small buget hotel, let down by the area
The Victory was very pleasant budget hotel booked last minute for a one night stay in Paris. The area around chateau d eau is not the best but I knew that when booking. The hotel its self was fine. The guy on desk spoke perfect English and was very helpful. Would I stay there again? Not if I booked early enough to find a better situated hotel but on another short notice booking then yes. For the price there is nothing wrong with it

Stay away from this one
We booked this hotel based on the proximity to metro station and it was near Gare Du Nord too. The metro was walking distance from the hotel and that's the only good thing. The hotel itself was a bit difficult to find. We booked a 3 person room. It was on the second floor and there is no lift/elevator so had to pull all the luggage ourselves. They also take the money in advance so even if you have problems, there is nothing you can do. First night, we woke up and found army of bed bugs !! It was a nightmare. We informed the reception and the young man came up and tried to dust them off, but was not able to offer another room. That night we could not sleep. The owner offered free breakfast as a pacifier. Next day, they moved us to the adjacent room. The bathroom was tiny and smelled bad all the time. It at least did not have bed bugs. We tried to stay outside as much as possible and went back and just washed and slept. They say you get what you pay for .... so true.

La habitación era horrible, sucia, la cama usada y deshecha, la ventana rota, obras en la habitación de enfrente, en el pasillo de la planta de arriba un colchón tirado y una toalla sucia. El baño sucio, la papelera llena de basura y el suelo con colillas, por no hablar de que debajo de la cama y por el suelo había manchas negras de suciedad. No pudimos quedarnos ni una noche, nos fuimos. Sin duda es mejor pagar más e ir a un sitio decente que tenga limpieza como mínimo

Séjours horrible ! 5eme etage sans ascenseur, chaleur des toits insoutenable, puanteur persistante, état de la chambre immonde. Tout est très sale et pu ! Et comme si ça ne suffit pas.. des travaux juste en face de la fenêtre (qui ne se ferme pas) Evitez cet endroit

Incrível! Recepcionistas super simpáticos e falavam inglês. Um hotel francês de verdade, com varandinhas lindas. Super fofo! A única parte desagradável mas que não foi um problema para nós é o cheiro de cigarro no quarto. Mas né, é a França!!! Super aceitável ♥️

souci propreté
Gros problème d'hygiène, quand on rentre dans la sdb est qu l'on constate que les serviettes n'ont pas été changées ça fait un choc, plus une odeur bizarre dans la chambre et une impression de pas propre.

Hôtel à éviter car insalubre
Bonjour, dés mon arrivée, on m'annonce que les toilettes et la douche sont situés sur le palier, que pour en avoir dans la chambre, il fallait compter 20€ par nuit en supplément. Je suis montée voir la chambre, il n'y avait pas de lumière, c'est le réceptionniste qui est venu taper sur le mur pour que celle-ci fonctionne. La couette du lit était tachée de sang. J'ai contrôlé l'hygiène des toilettes, c'était très sale. J'ai fait la remarque au réceptionniste et celui-ci est devenu menaçant, disant que pour le prix, il ne fallait pas sattendre à un palace. Je ne suis pas resté dans cet hôtel, dont les photos du site sont mensongeaires et trompeuses. Je demande le remboursement de ma reversation, car je ne pouvais pas rester dans cet établissement aux mœurs douteuses.
