Hotel Elixir Paris

I liked the location of the hotel. We did not use hotel facilities for breakfast but we never do, preferring to use local Cafes in whatever city we are visiting.

Got twin room instead of double, daily cleaning was just ok. Fire alarm caused by toaster yesterday morning but lack of staff at reception to explain whether this was a real emergency evacuation.

Breakfast not worth the money. Much better choices nearby that had better food for about the same cost. Location was good. Walking distance to shopping, nightlife and Museums. Personnel tried, a few were cheerful and welcoming.

No TV in room, we had a remote, but no TV set. Called desk, but no answer. Bed too low & uncomfortable. Our room was smaller than a College dorm room. One chair. No USB outlets. Shower stall (actually, a lack of stall) was interesting. No door, no curb to trap water, water just splashed out the back onto the bathroom floor which became very slippery. We used more towels drying the floor. No bathroom fan to clear air, window did not have screen. No privacy lock on glass bathroom door, just a curtain. Minimal staff, we were locked out of hotel one night because night clerk was away from desk working on an issue in a guest room. Inconsistent room service, sometimes we got extra towels, sometimes not enough. Some bath towels were like sandpaper. Lights in stairwell did not always work.

The location near louvre Rivoli is ideal to explore Paris on foot- the reason why we chose to try this hotel.

We had a room with a sleeping room and a small living (third bed) . The rooms are not well maintained with stained walls, shower ceiling mold, torn curtains and dirty floors, glass elements, bed frames etc The street is small, but also close to nightlife spots of St denis and chatelet, so very loud throughout the night and morning with partying, quarreling or shouting folks. Also cars with loud music parked there and motorcycles. Unfortunately, the windows are not isolated to reduce the noise impact. Paris is expensive, but usually one will find better for 350 Euro per night.
