Paris Hôtel Le Mediterraneen

The early evening, female receptionist was lovely, informative and friendly. The room was spotless even though no frills. Bathroom great. Easy access to Gare de Lyon.

The later evening, male receptionist was unfriendly when I indicated that I wasn't impressed with waiting more than 5 minutes for his response to my ringing the bell, knocking, calling at the "24 hour manned"reception desk. while he wasn't thereneither street door nor access door to the rooms were licked and the computer screen in full sight. Not good security. Also, the smell of cigarette smoke was seeping into my bedroom from somewhere. These things spoiled otherwise good things. Worth noting in description, the staircase is stone and spiral, which isn't easy with bags and would be hard for some guests. No lift.

Clean.

Narrow staircase, no elevator, only one towel in bathroom, cold titled floor. OK to sleep a night but very uncomfortable room.

Nothing

Facilities

It's close to Gare the Lyon (even though there are some other hotel even closer and even cheaper)

No Lift, Not all the bedrooms have the bathroom en-suite, one small soap for 5 people, one roll of toilet paper, bath towels dirty and stinky, only one guy at the reception was nice and he spoke a bit of english. I am not going to tell you about an old man left alone to mind the reception et night. I am still not sure if he was just drunk or has some health problems... in my (and my friends opininion) this hotel should be categorised as a Luxury HoStel... not even close to the "hotel" definition
