Hotel De Senlis

The location is very central and calm. It is just a stone-throw from both bus and train stations respectively and a walkable distance (about 10 mins) to Notre dame cathedral. They allowed me check-in (given a room) as early as 8am cos I arrived Paris very early that morning. I was super-excited about this

The staff (old mama) serving the breakfast was not friendly at all. She had a harsh face and responded to our common demand for drinking water with aggression (cos water wasn't served in the breakfast). Breakfast wasn't a buffet (was basically coffee/tea/croissant/ bread/raw egg: which you had to cook yourself/ and a small glass of orange juice only). Shower cubicle was too small. I couldn't bend over to scrub my legs/ feet: took my bath standing only with my body intermittently rubbing against the shower cubicle. An averagely fat or huge person CANNOT bath in the cubicle at all cos I am of just an average body frame. The overall toilet is small too (my head was practically touching the wall as I sat on the WC to ease myself, so I had to sit sideways on the WC to get some space). The room was as well!

Hotel hallways and rooms are dirty and smell. Staff is rude. Our room was not ready on arrival. Worst place I have ever stayed. Could not go elsewhere at last minute as needed three beds arriving late on a Sunday night.
