Pariisi Hotels with Parvekkeita

A great hotel in a great location and service. The one thing that kind of annoyed us, was the size of the room and the bathroom. Although we booked the bigger room but it was so mini. I can't imagine how the real mini room looks like. Also the cups for coffee were too big and didn't even fit in the machine. Everything else was perfect.

Huone ihan ok, palvelu kaipaa parannusta. Sijainti on hyvä ja huone itsessään kelvollinen. Makuuhuone on hieman pieni, mutta kylpyhuone on melko tilava, joten kokonaiskoko saattaa olla suurempi kuin monissa muissa Pariisin huoneissa. Vedenpaine oli kuitenkin epätasainen, ja lämmin ja kylmä vesi vaihtuivat arvaamattomasti, mikä oli turhauttavaa. Palvelu oli vaihtelevaa. Kun kirjauduimme sisään noin klo 22, yöhenkilökunta oli erinomaista – kohteliasta, huomaavaista ja avuliasta, vaikka hotelli oli täynnä seuraavana päivänä. Päivävastaanottovirkailija oli kuitenkin aivan päinvastainen. Kysyin huonevarauskäytännöistä, ja hänen asenteensa vaikutti kärsimättömältä ja välinpitämättömältä, melkein kuin olisin häirinnyt häntä. Vaikka ymmärrän kulttuurierot ja sen, että englanninkielinen kommunikointi voi joskus tuntua tylyltä, hänen käytöksensä oli tarpeettoman töykeää ja epäammattimaista. Tilanne paheni, kun he ilmoittivat minulle, että huone oli saatavilla, mutta korkeampaan hintaan. Sen sijaan, että he olisivat kohteliaasti selittäneet, vastaanottovirkailija huusi minulle kovaan ääneen (istuin hissin lähellä) äänensävyllä, joka tuntui tylyltä ja kylmältä. Tässä vaiheessa päätin, ettei se ollut sen arvoista. Vaihdoin toiseen lähellä olevaan hotelliin samalla huonehinnalla. Ero oli kuin yö ja päivä: parempi sijainti, mukavampi huone ja moitteeton palvelu. Vaikka jouduin maksamaan tuntuvan sakon peruakseni jäljellä olevat varaukseni tässä hotellissa, se oli sen arvoista, jotta vältyin niin huonolta palvelulta. Kun menin takaisin noutamaan matkatavaroitani hotellin vaihdon jälkeen, he eivät edes kuitanneet minua tai yrittäneet kommunikoida kanssani. Tästä huolimatta sanoin silti ”kiitos”, mutta he jättivät minut täysin huomiotta. Tässä vaiheessa olin helpottunut, että olin tehnyt päätöksen muuttaa. Heidän veloittamaansa hintaan nähden palvelu ja kokemus täällä eivät yksinkertaisesti ole vertailukelpoisia. En suosittele sitä.

We loved our stay here. Location was superb for seeing all the main sites. The hotel was clean, quiet and refined. Staff were friendly and more than happy to assist. We chose not to pre-book breakfast here as there were many beautiful cafes nearby to walk to each morning. Loved our small suite. It was very small but we were only really sleeping there so it didn’t matter. Would 100% stay here again,

Bardzo dobrze położony hotel, bezpieczna okolica. Obsługa przyjazna, a pokoje czyste i zadbane. Polecam w 100%

Everything was amazing - from the service, to the location and even the room. It’s definitely perfect if you’re visiting Paris and I’d love to stay here again next time!

Se oli pieni ja ihan kelpo huone, mutta se on Pariisi... suihkukaappi on aika pieni. Töppäsin lasiin kyynärpäällä pari kertaa suihkussa käydessäni, joten kuvittelin, että isokokoisemmat ihmiset eivät ehkä pitäisi sen kompaktista koosta. Äänieristys tuntui lähes olemattomalta, kuulin ihmisten kävelevän ympäriinsä, katsovan televisiota ja jopa herätyskelloja, joten en saanut nukuttua kovin hyvin. Vihasin myös sitä, että jouduin kantamaan ja raahaamaan raskasta matkalaukkuani portaita ylös. Hotellin sijainti on kuitenkin aivan loistava. Se on vain parin minuutin päässä asemalta ja noin 20 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä Eiffel-tornista. Luulen, että yövyin silti Splendid-hotellissa seuraavan kerran, kun olen Pariisissa, mutta yritän ehdottomasti varata huoneen aikaisemmin, jotta saan huoneen Eiffel-tornille päin.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Artus Hotel and I was lucky to chance upon this hotel during my search. There are so many options and recommendations out there. I'm glad I chose this hotel for my maiden trip to Paris. First, the location. I can walk to the major landmarks like River Seine, Louvre, 'Dorsay museum, Notre Dame, etc. It is located close to St Germaine, so there are many charming streets to roam about and many options for food and supplies. I feel safe wandering around on my own as a solo female traveller. Second, the place is tastefully decorated. I like my room which has windows that overlook the streets as well as the decor. The bed is so comfortable that I slept very well during the three nights I was there. The housekeeping staff also kept the room clean and I like that the hotel embraces environmental practices. The only thing is that the yellow lights in the room can be a bit dim, but the white light used in the bathroom is bright. Third, the staff. I was greeted by a lady when I checked in and she is so understanding, patient and nice with me. I would like to commend her for her great personality and attitude, but I missed getting her name. The other staff I met are equally friendly and nice (two young ladies, one named Li/Yang; and another gentleman). Even if they don't know something, they will look up the information for me. They will also provide me with recommendations. I also must compliment the driver who picked me up from the airport and drove me to the airport (hotel transfers). He is very polite and considerate and he makes me feel at ease when i was travelling in his car. Even the gentleman who helped me with my luggage wore a big smile on his face. Thank you to everyone I've met during my stay and which made my experience a pleasant one. I learned only on my last day that they have another sister hotel a few steps away. One of the staff recognized me and invited me to take a look inside. Again, the place is tastefully done. If I have a chance to be back in Paris, I will check out both Artus Hotel as well as this hotel. I would also like to take this opportunity to make a request to the guests who are going to stay in the hotel - let's make an effort to treat the room as if it is our own. That way, the hotel will stay in a good condition for a longer time and future guests will get to enjoy the stay as much as I did. Thank you :)

The hotel is quite good, have water machine outside the room, complimentary sparkling water, and offers a stunning view of Eiffel Tower from the rooftop.

This so-called five-star hotel may enjoy a prime location next to the Eiffel Tower, but the reality is deeply disappointing for the price they charge. The central issue, and one that ruins the entire stay, is the ancient air-conditioning system. It can only produce either heating or cooling—not both—and the creaky controls offer no real control at all. We stayed in late September when the afternoons were still hot and sunny, and the room became unbearable. Opening the window wasn’t an option either, since it just brought in street noise and light, making rest impossible. When I complained, the staff first tried to mislead me by saying they would send a technician to “fix” it, as if this were a problem isolated to my room. Of course, they knew full well this is a general, long-standing issue built into the system. Instead of any actual solution, they then attempted to placate me with complimentary coffee and champagne—which I pointedly returned. Reading other reviews confirmed I was not alone. Many guests describe the exact same problem, and management appears content to ignore it. For a hotel that charges luxury rates and claims five-star status, the lack of a modern climate system is unacceptable and feels like outright negligence. My advice: avoid this hotel entirely in spring or autumn when temperatures fluctuate. If comfort matters at all to you, spend your money elsewhere—this place is only trading on its view of the Eiffel Tower, nothing more.

Pros 1. Excellent location just across 3 major metro lines (and a bus line). Made it super convenient to commute around the city. It’s also Around 15 min walking distance to Tour Eiffel 2. Rooms are comfortable size for Paris standards. Beds were comfy! 3. Studio room comes with a kitchenette, microwave, dish washer, toaster and cutleries making it easy for us to whip up a simple meal for breakfast. 4. Free coffee/tea/hot chocolate and water dispenser at the lobby. Just bring your cup from the room or reusable water bottle to fill up. 5.We were greeted warmly by Ndeye who helped us get settled in for our stay. 6. There was a local market on Sundays and Wednesdays right under the train track. Cons 1. The lifts are small and only one was functioning during our stay so be prepared to wait or walk down the stairs. 2. There is no daily housekeeping but there is a comfort room where we could replace supplies e.g towels, toilet paper etc. Since we stayed 6 nights, we were given 1 free housekeeping. Overall wasn’t an issue for us, but may be an expectation for some. 3. You can hear the trains zoom by, but the disruption was minimal as the windows came with decent sound proofing. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Citadines!
