Studio in Rue Elzevir, 75003 Paris, France, paris

We checked in around 19:30 and when we finally got to our room, we discovered it hadn’t been cleaned at all. The beds had clearly been slept in, the bathroom was dirty, and the towels had already been used by previous guests. When we called the service desk, we were told we would have to wait until the next day for cleaning. Meaning they expected us to sleep in used beds, shower in an uncleaned bathroom, and use someone else’s towels. After insisting this was unacceptable, their “solution” was to let us take linens from a cabinet and make the beds ourselves. This fixed absolutely nothing, as we still did not feel comfortable staying in a room that had not been cleaned. By this point it was already 20:30, so we had no choice but to leave and find another hotel. What made the experience even worse was what followed. For a month after our stay, we contacted the hotel repeatedly and received nothing but the same empty response each week: “We’ll get back to you as soon as we know more.” It has now been almost five months, and we still have not received any follow-up, apology, explanation, or compensation. This was by far the worst hotel experience we have ever had. Completely unprofessional, unhygienic, and unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs.

Liked · It was in a good location, very good security. Own kitchen, and bathroom which is always a plus. The room is an okay size big enough for two, but I wouldn't want to stay in there long, best just for sleeping and a quick breakfast. They need to provide a draining board for washing up. The area has lots of restaurants, bistros and shops. There are lots of metro's in walking distance and buses. So always easy to go to different parts of the city. Helpful with baggage they put me in touch with a company to put our bags when we checked out. Disliked · The bed was super hard got pin and needles it was that hard, so really wasn't happy about that. The place was clean however the skirting boards were filthy and the shower needed a curtain as the floor got soaked. I would advise the owners to get a new curtain and a better shower mat as the bathroom got wet and dirty very quickly. Because there were no windows and the extraction fan did nothing, you had to open the 'balcony' doors (which were closed off), not sure what people do in the winter after showering. I also requested our card to be changed, which they refused to do, which was frustrating because I could have easily paid the tourist tax on a different card if it had been in person staff. The last thing is this is not a soundproof room as they claim, it is quiet because you are in the back however the walls are very thin we could hear a neighbor snoring.

Overal good, however the drains made horrible noises throughout the night, probably as they hadn't been used for a while and equally started smelling horribly after the second day. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment which is small (as in not a place you want to stay in for a long time) but this is compensated by a good location.

I left this review on Booking.com where I made the booking, they then proceded to call me and offer me money in return of the removal of my bad review! Shocking! Location is the only thing that is good about these apartments. The apartment themselves has an old motel feel about it. Could definitely do with a proper clean. I would not recommend.

This place is a disaster - we stayed here in May 2025 and upon check in and here were a couple of the appalling service standards we encountered: (1) Extremely unhygienic place: 2 out of 4 of our pillows were outright smelly as if they haven't been washed in months and 2 of us in the group had to sleep without pillows the first night because it was already late when we checked in (we were a group of 4) (2) Things straight up don't work!: The day before we were checking out, the already ageing safe had broken down and our important documents (passports etc) were stuck inside! I'm here typing waiting for a response from them to come fix it but it has been an hour and no response yet so I'm not hopeful (3) Absent customer service: see point 2 above - no service desk and they are purely contactable by message or text only Avoid here unless you want a disaster of a holiday. You're better off anywhere else (maybe even the street is preferable)
