Park and Suites Grande Bibliotheque

Great Stay for the Price

We had 4 people and needed a room that could comfortably accommodate all of us and it most certainly did. It was clean, comfortable, easily accessible to the Metro, the staff was friendly. All in all, great stay.

Great location for metro

This is a great boutique hotel, suitable for one/two people. The rooms are small but stylish (IKEA style). Next door to the express metro line 14, and with Starbucks around the corner, and grocery chain Monoprix a block away, you can’t go wrong. However, right in front of the entrance to this hotel is a public one-person toilet, so expect bums/homeless people loitering around this hotel (I wish that the hotel would install a security guard at the door). The immediate area around the hotel is deserted at night, so I was not comfortable walking around by myself going to dinner past 9PM. It’s a shame, because that’s the time where Paris is bustling with folks having dinner, drinks, meet-ups...I was hassled by bums around this hotel, mainly Moroccans and Russians when walking alone in this area. Also, there are not too many restaurants in the immediate area, except when you go down to the quai (10 minute walk). Once again, I did not feel safe walking alone near the hotel at night.

Traveler's tip

To save a few bucks, I’ve been taking the metro down to the next stop - chinatown - to have vietnamese/thai/chinese dinners. Dining out is outrageously expensive, with the Euro to 1.5 US dollars, and sales tax of 20%. Otherwise, try to cook your food in your room, but who wants to cook when you’re on vacation?

Not impressed

Bathrooms not very clean, old and not comfortable Breakfast extremelly expensive for the quality.
