Hôtel de la Terrasse

This is one of few hotels in Paris not too far from the center for a resonable price, but for a run-down room.

The key card did not work. First having to run up and down to have it tried without and with the staff, while my children had to wait outside in the hallway. The man at the reception said they were gonna fix it till the evening, but no it still did not work. So instead I had to run down to borrow the key, over and over, and hand it back. During the night we got to keep it. It felt like the situation, where I as customer having to run up and down the stairs, wasn't that big of a deal for the staff. It felt like this key card had been non-functioning for a long time! The room was simple but should have been ok, if not for the broken toilet seat slipping away, the rusted shower curtain holder hanging down so the curtain was glued to the body when showering in the small shower. Pretty run-down room. When I wanted to bring up the problems in the room the receptionist told me to send an e-mail to the owner! (why having a receptionist at all then)

The location was good, close to metro station and plenty of restaurants in the area

The room was small. Wifi was bad from the room
