Holiday Inn Paris - Saint Germain des Prés

It was very convenient for us. The Metro was close by. Lots of places to eat close by.

Remodeling being done on our floor. Dirty.

the room was quiet and dark

The check in staff did not explain to me or my colleague how to use the door key. They also did not explain how to use the in-room telephone. I needed a taxi early the next morning but they would not book a taxi for me during the previous evening (and since it was impossible to figure out how to use the phone, I couldn't phone down to reception in the morning!). There were no instructions in the room for the telephone etc. I could not work out how the bathroom sink tap worked (it had a nice designer look, but it was impossible to figure out how to get cold water from the tap!)

The cleaners were friendly and helpful. At least the front desk staff helped with directions to various destinations.

Very rude and unfriendly front desk staff. We had to wait at least 20minutes for someone to come and help with the problems in the bathroom. Worst breakfast ever, Only Mohan was friendly and helpful...no smiles from the staff...they were just doing us a favour by being there....terrible
