Au Royal Mad Hotel

"If you have been to Paris many times before, then most likely there is nothing waiting for you in this typical Parisian hotel that you have not seen before. A typical 5-6-storey house with a blue pitched roof, a spiral staircase to the top, a shared toilet for several rooms and a small modest room with minimal furniture and a sink in the room. Really, it's like you've been here before? Surprisingly, there was a microwave on the mini fridge. It doesn't happen very often in such hotels... 56 euros per night for a double is humane at current prices. The Wi-Fi was stable.."

"Pleasant budget hotel, however they have a SEVERE bed bug problem which is not being handled properly, nor disclosed to guests. I told the check-in clerk about my bug allergy when I arrived. He swore up and down that I had nothing to fear, then put me in a room on a lower floor, directly below a group of 3 rooms that were being actively treated for bed bugs! He didn't tell me this, of course, but I got attacked overnight, and all the bites swelled up painfully, then erupted into weeping blisters. I even managed to catch a live bedbug and showed it to a night staffer, whose solution was to take it away from me and wash it down the sink! Royal Mad later moved me to a new room on a high floor, assuring me this one was definitely safe, but I got bitten again in the second room, and decided to check out early. By this time I was miserable and disfigured (the bugs even bit my face!), I could barely function due to exhaustion (jetlag + lost sleep + massive doses of antihistamines) and I had to change all my plans, because I was stuck waiting around for managers and customer service agents, disinfecting my clothes and luggage, cleaning and ziploc-bagging everything at my own expense, and hauling it all across town to a newer and more expensive hotel. I did eventually get a partial refund from Booking.com, but I still wish I'd never set foot in Au Royal Mad:-("

"terrible hotel Before we made a payment, no one tell us there is a strict rule in hotel, if we miss the check in time, we can’t get any refund and the room. They give my room to others and I noticed them that I will check in late."
