Overall good hotel/rooms but bad resturant food
Overall it was a good hotel . Nice ,clean , comfortable room with free parking and a good breakfast. We stayed for buisness so was only driving too and from work . Maybe not great for leisure as there isnt much round it . Walked about 20mins too get too a great chinese buffet though. Which made up for the food we had at the hotel resturant the previous night.

The amenities listed on expedia were not true. The wifi: barely accessible in my room. The bar: was never opened. The kitchen : was never opened. Other complaints: nothing to eat in the area. The shower was so small. Surfaces were dirty. Towels were heavily used and stained. I booked 2 nights. I asked for a refund on my second night because i didnt want to stay another night. If the proper amenities were listed id never would have booked. But they denied my refund. Understaffed and struggling. The staff there was pleasant though. Wouldn't ever stay again.

Definitely worth considering, if...
The positive points... Good value for money - it was a big hotel room for Paris; the staff were friendly; the hotel was clean and comfortable The points worth thinking about... The hotel is a 20 minute walk from the nearest Metro stop, that is at the end of the Metro line Summary I’m happy to walk a bit and travel a bit longer to get to the centre of Paris, as long as I have a clean, comfortable, large room at a decent price

The room was clean but the male staff at front desk wasn't very helpful when you asked simple questions. The room had a sink leak which didn't get repaired, no stopper in the sink and the shower was so tiny, until you didn't have room to bend over. Also no phone service for making local calls. in france at this hotel. Also if you come in late, there parking lot is full and know where close on street to park.

Great place, highly recommended.
The employees are very friendly and accommodating. They all speak English to varying degrees and we never had a problem communicating. He free breakfast they serve was fantastic. There is a bus station at the end of the street which provides easy access to the city. If you want something nearby, the pizza place down the street is good and the Indian restaurant across the street was delicious. There’s also a grocery store around the block.

Clean, comfortable, great price
We chose this hotel to be round the corner from where our son was living. It was excellent - very comfortable beds, a decent bathroom (shower fine providing you aren’t too fat to fit in it!) and a great breakfast buffet for the price. Obviously not a super swish and fancy hotel but everything you need for a decent overnight stay.

Perfect if you're staying in the area.
This hotel is absolutely ideal if you are staying in the Villejuif area. I wouldn't recommend it if you are off for a weekend in Paris as it is approx 20 min walk to the nearest station and there's not a lot going on in the local area. However, if you are there doing business or seeing friends in the area it is perfect. The rooms are clean and modern with comfortable beds and the staffer helpful in organising us a taxi as there were troubles with strikes whilst we were there. Recommended.

Nice hotel, not far from metro and a shop
When we arrived, we were given a room for two persons instead of a room for three, which was booked well in advance and paid. However, the issue was solved and for the first night we were provided an additional room for our third person. All the rest stay was OK, no any issues.

Hotel far from central Paris
I found this hotel to be far from central Paris and it cost more in taxis to get around. There was no restaurant in the hotel and not many restaurants close by apart from 1 pizza place. The staff were friendly though and I was able to get a coffee when I needed one.

This hotel was convenient as we had a car and needed the free parking. It was a reasonable walk to the Metro through a nice neighborhood, and the staff was very friendly. It was spartan accommodations, though, but the price reflected that. Overall quite nice.

Far from touristic places in Paris
Hello, my first impression of Paris was disgusting and disappointing. Everyone always talks of Paris as this magical city which it is, however once you're outside of Paris, I felt that I was in the ghetto. Graffiti everywhere...dirty streets...hoodlums...etc. Of course, everywhere you go has its good and its bad however this hotel in particular states on their website that the proximity of Paris is under 15 minutes on the 7 metro line. Go see it yourself if you don't believe me. The closest train was 2.5 miles away. My family and I had to take a bus to the train, sometimes take two trains just to get to our destination. There's no bar nearby...just a crappy pizza place and a couple places irrelevant.The neighborhood seems low class and not the kind of place you want to walk around late at night. The rooms were clean but there's no snack bar, no refrigerator, no ice, no food, nothing. When I asked front desk for a drink, the man gave me a glass of apple juice!!!! If you do not care about the commuting and what not then go ahead and pick this place but just keep in mind that the cab service is very expensive each way and it's 30 minutes away.

Alright hotel
Horrible customer service. Completely rude. Too bad because the rooms were actually ok. We asked the front for a taxi to take us to the airport at 3:45 and i guess he called his friend. The man charged us 50 euros for a 15 min ride to the airport. When we first got there we we took about 30 min because of traffic we only paid 28 euros. MAKE SURE TO ONLY GET IN A TAXI THAT HAS A METER. This hotel is really close to the bus (#131) that takes you to the subway. If you get a map of the subway in information at the airport your life willbe alot easier. This hotel said check in was at 12 when we got there we were told only CHECKOUT was at 12 and we would have to wait to check in until 2

Wonderful surprise
The area is a little weird, but it was such a beautiful shock. The place was absolutely spotless and the staff was very nice and conversed in both French and English. The room itself was exactly like the pictures they post. The metro is about a 25 min walk. But other than that, I would definitely go back there.

Not great
This hotel is at least a 20 minute walk from the nearest metro stop, and very inconvenient to get to. There is a grocery store near by, and a few small unhealthy food options, but all close very early. We were greeted very rudely upon check-in because my card was declined - my mistake so I understand why they would be unpleased with that, but we promptly gave them a new card. It was difficult because we spoke poor French, and they spoke poor English. It was impossible to ask for help with anything because of this language barrier. Our room was very clean and well decorated, but I really cannot get over how rude the staff was and the horrible location. The closest metro stop is the absolute last stop on the line, and if you're trying to get from the airport with a heavy backpack you are definitely not going to be happy getting to this hotel. I would have rather stayed at a hostel that was closer to Paris, than in the suburbs in a hotel room. I do not recommend staying here, we were incredibly disappointed.

Get your bearings and set your own alarm
Very hard to find... Did not get wake up call Otherwise just fine for one night. Very out of the way but quiet. Value and close to airport but be sure of your directions. Cab costs 20 if you get a wake up call...50 if you don't

Outside of Paris
Hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the Metro. It was about a half hour ride to get to the Eiffel Tower and you have to change lines. They have a fenced in parking lot which was great for us to leave our car in to avoid driving through the city. Breakfast was 8 Euro/person and consisted of a buffet including juices, coffees, croissants, cereal, bread, yogurt, fruit, meats and cheeses. Room was clean/decent. Staff was friendly and spoke English.

If you're trying to see Paris, don't stay here
The description of this hotel stated it was within walking distance of the city center of Paris. This is not the case. It is a long walk, a bus ride, and a long metro ride away from anything you're hoping to see. This room was cheap and clean, but I'd rather pay even double the price to get a room closer to the sights.

The personnel were awesome the breakfast was great .,can't beat for 8 euros. The location was a bit of work to get at. We ended up taking a taxi. Once you get used to the bus and train then you are good to go. The food at the restaurant on the corner is really good. Especially for late night hunger. :)

This hotel was fine to stay a night. It is clean and simple. The location looks like a business park and you need a car or Taxi. If you are arriving late or heading off early to Orly airport this is fine as somwhere to lay your head.
