Belambra City Magendie

"Last minute booking for a trip to Paris with my daughter. Positives include quiet location, proximity to Glacière metro station and breakfast being included. However, our issue was with the heat in the room. Opening the window (which was in fact a door) provided no relief in the very small room. I have just read reviews which mention complimentary fans in each room - we didn't have one and at no point was it suggested. Given the heat in summer, these should be standard. We had to make do with cold flannels and our own mini portable fans. As a result, we dreaded returning to the hotel in the evenings and stayed out as long as it was safe."

"I had a decent stay here and the price was definitely right (4 nights for $600 all in). For some reason, I thought they had air conditioning but it was pretty uncomfortable esp. after walking with my suitcase from the metro station. Out of the three hotels during my time in France, their fan was the least effective. The shower head wasn't staying in place and they were quick to send someone up to fix it. The area isn't the most exciting but there are a few decent bars and eateries and it's a short walk to other parts of town and a couple metro stops are close by. La Marijan down the street had nice employees and the Irish bar just across the main drag was good. Breakfast was okay, high marks for baked goods, cooked items only ok and a very bad layout when it gets crowded. Fine overall."

"Great place to stay in Paris. Quiet neighborhood. Reasonable price. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Close to three metro stations."
