"‼️‼️‼️‼️ I would seriously consider before staying at Hotel Le Clement.
I left my purse with all my bank cards in my room every day I stayed here, as I figured it’d be safer than taking it out (with pick pocketing in Paris near to attractions).
They were left inside the wardrobe, inside a handbag, inside a storage bag, inside my purse.
I noticed the morning after the room had been cleaned, I had strange transactions on my Chase debit card. I knew this was strange as I hadn’t used that card this trip. My Chase debit card was also missing from my purse. I hadn’t taken these out of the room once during the trip, so I asked reception if their cleaners were in house or hired in. They said in house, and have worked there over 20 years. I then went on to explain that since the room clean, my bank card had gone missing and there were strange transactions at a nearby tobacconist around 7am. Firstly, I was asleep at that time, and secondly, I don’t smoke or drink. The hotel did absolutely nothing to help, and said I needed to file a report with the police, and ask the tobacconist for CCTV footage. The point is it made me feel completely violated and totally unsafe in the hotel. They should NOT have been going through my things. I am extremely lucky my passport and other valuables etc weren’t taken. The hotel asked why I didn’t use the safe, however 1. we were given 0 information that the safe was in the room (it was tucked away behind a blanket in a wardrobe), and 2. THE LONG-TERM CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH GUESTS PRIVATE POSSESSIONS AND STEALING THEIR BELONGINGS.
To make matters worse, I have come home, and I noticed some strange transactions on my Barclays credit card, only to then realise that it was also no longer in my wallet. The money was spent TODAY in France, even though I got home YESTERDAY.
Don’t stay here if you want to feel completely unsafe and violated. Staff will refuse to do anything to help anyway. I will be reporting them to French authorities."
