Libertel Gare de l Est Francais

"A really lovely hotel that we enjoyed a lot. It's super close to the stations and the service was genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The only downside was a sewage smell that lingered around the place. We stayed on the 6th floor and it was worst out in the corridor, though our room did smell a bit musty too. That said, I can't fault the cleanliness at all because the room was absolutely spotless and the view was amazing. Like other guests have mentioned, there was a sporadic rumble from the nearby metro that you could hear now and then. Honestly it's very good value for money and the location can't be beaten, just a real shame about that smell because otherwise it would have been a completly perfect trip. We'd still happily come back and would recommend it to anyone visiting Paris on a budget."

"A good hotel. Close to the stations with good service. Unfortunately the only downside was the sewage smell that lingered. We were on the 6th floor, and it was worst outside in the corridor but our room smelled musty. Can't fault the cleanliness as the room was spotless and the view was amazing. As others have noted there was a sporadic rumble caused by the nearby metro. Good value just a shame about the smell!"

"Upon arrival(having been travelling since 3am) we had to wait a further hour and a half for our rooms to be ready even though check in is 2pm. The privilege double room was a lot smaller than expected. The room was quite dark and some lights were not working. The hair dryer was not working and the shower head left a lot to be desired(standing in a shower of rain would have had better results) The area for the hotel is VERY noisy so bring earplugs if you want to actually sleep. The pillows are uncomfortable and lumpy. The breakfast was minimal to say the least, we ventured down for a look one morning with the hopes of having a nice buffet. We were told the pancakes/crepes were finished and the rest of the buffet could fit easily on a kitchen sideboard( for €14pp there were very few options,we went elsewhere) Simple things like toilet paper is also an issue as we were expected to use less than half a roll between two adults from one room refresh to the other(they didn’t leave any if there was half a roll left in the room) and we had to keep asking for it when we arrived back from sight seeing each day. Also the room manager walked in on my daughter while she was in the room, he was doing room checks but rather than wait for a reply he simply opened the door and stuck his head in to see was the room cleaned! My daughter was very distraught as she could have been changing or showering when he opened the door! Having the train station across the road is good for sight seeing."
