Hotel De l'Alma - Paris

8.0

We stay for just one night, we didn't need any more, but if you are planning to stay a few days the room is a bit small. The location is excelent, really close to the Metro and 5 blocks from the Eiffel Tower.

3.4

Very dirty room. Unfortunatly the location is perfect.

8.0

Everything was really good but there's a lot to improve for the staff of the reception. No attention to the customer-zero emotion. This was really disappointing as I work in a hotel myself and know how it is supposed to be. Thanks

It's really closed to Eiffel Tower. Wonderfull district/place and really it's quiet. The employees were pleasant and attentive. By other hand, the rooms are really small, and our room the floor was little bit dirty, finally the bathtub was stall. But Price/Quality it's really fine, think about "center Paris and cheap"...

We were 5 days in Paris and we found very nice to stay at this hotel, I really recommend it. A good relation price-facilities.

5.4

we were only there for one night the man at the desk when we checked in was very abrupt and did not explain were the room was and that there were doors blocking off the rooms with light switches on timers so you are left in the dark. the person who took over for him for the night shift was very pleasant and helpful. very close to many attractions i personly love that area of paris

3.4

Very poor service of the staff at the reception. Impossible to have a glasses to drink in the room (only plastic) althought there is a minibar (not well equiped).

9.0

Great staff and terrific area, with a slightly different, "real" feel when compared to the more tourist-centered places to stay. Rooms were tight, but that's par for the course, and the walls were a bit thin, but good restaurants and cafes nearby, a British pub was close, and a terrific shopping street a few blocks away. The subway was close, but you had to make a change to get to any of the more popular areas.

I am confident that there are thousands of better hotels to stay at in Paris that this one! I have been to Paris three times and stayed at a variety of hotels in Paris varying from hostels to one and two star hotels. THIS HOTEL IS BY FAR THE WORST HOTEL I have had to stay at, no question. I was afraid for my life in the elevator and the doors opened to absolute darkness where I had to feel around for doors and light switches while my eyes adjusted to the low light. Thankfully I did not stumble to close to the open staircase right next to the elevator... In true Parisian style I was not warned of this or I would have taken the stairs. The entire hotel including the room had a very strong cigarette smell mixed with what I can only hope to be a cheap cleaner. The bed was uncomfortable. I felt dirtier coming out of the shower than going in. There was no clock in the room and the so called automated alarm system you are supposed to program with the phone did not work so I had to argue with the fellow at the front desk for a wake up call in the morning so I could make it to work on time. The two night guys were absolutly the rudest people I have met in Paris and the manager only worked from 9:00 to 15:00 so there was no option for money back or canceling my reservation for the second night since I had to work. This place is not even a half star hotel but advertises 3 stars. The St. Christopher's Paris hostel N.E. of Gare du Nord station which I stayed at later in the week was a luxery palace in comparison to Hotel De l'Alma!

3.6

The place requires air conditioning and replacement of equipment and furniture with new ones. The quality of the wireless internet connection is low.

4.4

There is little correspondence between photographs and reality. The hotel is old and shabby. The rooms (single, double and common areas) are really small up to the extent that you cannot comfortably seat on the toilet and three people cannot have breakfast together in the breakfast room. The breakfast is too simple and disorganised. The bedroom was extremely noisy the first night. Although the problem was fortunately solved (otherwise we would have seriously considered looking for another hotel)still some noise remained. Thus, never again.

1.6

Great location, but the rooms were awful. Rubber ceilings, no space to swing a cat, and the safe would not work. When I asked reception to either show me how to use the safe or get it fixed i was told that he wasn;t allowed to take his bum off the comfy seat behind reception! 3 star??? You're havin a laugh

6.1

It is a nice hotel near to Eiffel Tower. The price is very high! 90 Euros for one night in winter. The bathroom was old in our room, but OK! The heating is very good!

5.6

Tiny room with thin walls but good little bathroom and clean, fine for the price in a beautiful part of central Paris.

8.3

Central to all of the main sights within Paris - Eiffel Tower, Lourve, Musee de Orsy etc.

8.0

everything was nealy perfect but i was somewhat afraid to use the elevator because it seemed very old.So we used allways the stair ( (4 stoires.) Here the light was not sufficient in one etage.

8.9

Clean, friendly and helpful. Small space, but adequate since we were not there to lounge in the room. We were able to walk to all of the areas we most wanted to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Paris. There is a great little bakery at the end of the block. We did not eat breakfast in the hotel.

8.6

Nulla da dire. Perfetto per staff, posizione (a due passi dalla Torre Eiffell e dalla fermata metrò Echole Militare) e pulizia. Non potevo trovare di meglio.

8.4

The location is perfect! The breakfast is very good!

6.3

A clean and nice hotel and very competent employees, but our room was a bit small and the beds could be better. Also there was a smell of cigarettes in our room that was not so nice, but that´s France we guess. The location is very good with walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and the nearest Metro at Ecole Militaire is not far away.

7.8

difficult to find the muslim food, coz i bring the muslim customer there.

6.8

quite expensive.you can reach easily the tour but the rest of the city is quite far.you need to take the metro or RER but you have to walk for5-10 minutes. It is also far away from the Paris Expo. The stuff was quite friendly.

5.5

The only thing I would recommend is the location. I stayed for one night for a business trip stopover to Barcelona. Since my intention was to do a quick sightseeing, the location was excellent. The room is extremely small and very poorly illuminated. It was quiet though... Overall cleaness was so-so. Check-in and out were OK, if you can speak French.

6.3

Con mia moglie abbiamo passato 4 giorni a Parigi. L'albergo è carino senza pretese. Le camere non erano pulitissime e davvero piccole. La prima colazione non era compresa nel prezzo. Per il resto il personale è gentile e abbastanza disponibile.

9.7

What a great hotel! Locationwise, we couldn't have asked for better. Fairly close to Ecole Militaire metro, and only a couple of blocks from the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. There were some great little restaurants nearby (and reasonably priced if you don't go to the ones on the tourist trail). At the end of the street is a great patisierie (sp?) where we breakfasted each morning. The room was comfortable and was well maintained. Only challenge was there was only one English channel on the television (CNN), but as we didn't spend much time in the room that was a minor problem. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all a great experience for us.

2.7

Rate Q/P very bad, we change to another hotel (in the same street) at the 2nd day and we paid 25 less euros (for the same quallity). The hotel is little, the only difference with a 2 star hotel (this is a 3 star hotel) besides the price is the "frigo bar"....

7.7

the hotel had not recieved the resevation i booked thru this website, but when we showed up the night before new years eve, they moved people and got us our rooms. i would stay there again, but not use the website again.

6.0

The room was absolutely tiny (which was what I was expecting, I guess.) It was really difficult to open or lock our door, as the handle of our door was in horrible condition; I couldn't get the key out and had to get someone to help me! Hotel staff gave us incorrect and unhelpful information. (For anyone's future reference, there is no longer a consigne (left luggage) at Gare de L'est!) The location, however, was brilliant. I loved the neighbourhood we were in, even if the beds were exceptionally uncomfortable. Next time I would try another hotel in the same area, I think.

9.0

This is a small and cute hotel in the heart of Paris. It is situated on a very quiet street close to different shops and bakery stores. It is 5 minutes away from the Eiffel and depending on the angle of the room, you may even have a view of the tower from your room. It is a few minutes walking from the Eiffel, the river and a metro station. All other main attractions in Paris are only 2-3 station away on the metro. The hotel staff is very nice and friendly. I recommend this hotel, and I will stay there again upon my return to Paris.

4.0

Very, very disappointed in this hotel - for Three Stars - it was awful - Hotel Caladrez Cambronne for two stars was far superior. We had room 34 - walls dirty, rug dirty, looks like an amateur renovated bathroom - very poor quality renovation - never recommend to anyone

5.9

The rooms were small but comfortable - we booked twin rooms but were allocated doubles, but the helpful desk clerk (Krimo) managed to find some twins. Good location near Eiffel Tower, a few late night bistros nearby.

8.5

I went to this hotel expecting just a cheap dirty room, but i was pleasently surprised. the rooms were clean and tidy, and quite pretty. the location was excellent, close to the train station and very easy to find. the staff were helpful and spoke reasonable english. the surrounding areas were good, with great places to eat all around. the price was reasonable considering the quality of the rooms. Overall i was very pleased with this hotel, and if i am im paris again, then i'll make sure to return.

3.3

Terrible! For starters, be careful of the elevator. It sinks when you step into it with your baggage. This place was terrible! No A/C but be careful of opening the windows because the bats might fly in from the courtyard. Safe doesn't work. Shower nozzle and base broken. Gaudy color scheme of bright orange and red for the room colors. No space to move around in the room. Saggy bed. Housekeeping likes to walk in on you without knocking. Toilet difficult to use because of its orientation with the wall. Bring your own toilet paper; unless you'd like to use little pieces of pink kleenex provided. The only thing this place has going for it would be the close location to Eiffel Tower and cafe. Great room if you just need to crash, and don't care about comfort.

7.9

The hotel has a quiet but central location in the 7th and we found the staff very nice and helpful and the price reasonable for the room which was small but I have seen much smaller. We would stay here again if we were looking to be in this end of Paris.

6.2

We booked 2 rooms...one for my wife and I and one for my parents. We stayed 4 nights. The location is excellent...easy walking distance to the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, Rue Cler shopping, and many resturants. We had two complaints. Firstly we felt that the rooms, particulary the bathrooms, were not cleaned as thoroughly as they should have been. Secondly, we had a fairly bizzare incident that proved, without a doubt, that someone was going thru our belongings while we were out. Let me describe what happened: One of my parent's suitcases had a small lock on it to which they haven't had a key for years. It is attached to one side of a zipper and when the zipper is closed it appears, at first glance, to be locked. One day when they returned to their room the suitcase was actually locked!! Someone had opened the lock, assuming that the suitcase itself was locked, presumably examined the contents of the suitcase, then relocked the suitcase!! My father took the suitcase down to the front desk and explained what happened. They simply shrugged their shoulders and offered to cut the lock off for him. Nothing was taken, as all of our valuables were in the room safe, but there's obviously a security problem and that makes us reluctant to recommend this hotel to others.

9.0

This is a quaint hotel in a wonderful Parisian neighborhood within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, shopping, banks all within walking distance.

9.4

Wonderful Hotel especially for the price and location!!!

9.5

Elevator in the hotel was broken so we did need to climb 5 flights of steps. However, generally it was a perfectly good hotel, great location and excellent value.
