Art Hotel Lafayette

location

very small rooms, very old hotel, hardly two star, it took 4 hours to fix the heating system in the room, shower was broken, noise from workers around the hotel. very tiny elevator. the hotel could not book a taxi for us even though we asked one hour in advance !!

I first stayed in this hotel in December 2007 and choose it again for my stay in Paris now in November. All good, no complains. Fair hotel for a fair price considering that it is Paris. Staff very helpful and good breakfast.

Room is very small but this is usual in Europe. So the hotel is all good and I do recommend.

Good location

I got bitten several times whilst in bed. This was during November, so I have to question the cleanlyness of the hotel.

It was handy to Gare du Nord and a Metro Station to link to the rest of the city. Reecption personnel were obliging. during a poorly organised window renovation programme which meant 3 room changes.

The rooms were very small. Breakfast, presided over by customer unfriendly staff, was poor, with bad coffee and without museli (a European standard .. even in Poland, the Ukraine and England) on offer. Lift is totally inadequate for 2 people and large bags, especially when cleaning staff have left their equipment in it. Decore is jaded .. worn carpets and wall coverings, bathroom tiles missing. A badly co-ordinated window renovation programme was in progress making our initial room offering unavailable until after 5pm. We should have read the previous guests comments in full before booking.
