The rooms are fair compared to the price, the location is easily accessable by the metro but what really made our stay something special was the great and kindest service we received - which is something one might find oneself missing in Paris ! We really felt alpha to be our home away from home. If on a budget; you... More

I would rate this place average, at best. It provided a room, but that is about it. The staff wasn't exactly friendly, but we weren't going to have a conversation in French anyway. Every time we took a shower the water would explode everywhere - I am guessing the shower head was busted. However, we never could communicate the problem... More

The Recepcionits didn't speak any english just like any french people. We didn't have WiFi in our room just in the "looby" using very old PC with french keyboard. At least it has an elevator and very small bathroom. The room was ok. The color was awful and also the light but it is good if you use it just... More

The bad - most unconfortable beds ever! - heating system always on (probably set to... More

It is not a luxury hotel, but is really clean and the staff was really useful and helpful. Always smiling (not very easy to find in Paris, by the way!). The room was very small, but there was enough space if you just want to sleep in the hotel, and you will be running around the rest of the day.... More

Stayed there last year with my wife. As other reviewers have written, you don't come to Paris to stay in a hotel room, so what we where looking for was a modest budget accomodation just to sleep in between exploring the city. And everything would have been just fine, had it not been for the bedbugs. At first, since apparently... More

My husband and I just returned from a 7 night stay at the Alfa Hotel for our honeymoon. This hotel is a gem. It's in a fantastic location, the 20th arrondissement has a very "neighborhood" feel to it - very few tourists, which is great, and it's only a short walk to a major metro stop. For 7 nights it...

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hotel just before christmas and had a lovely stay. After reading a variety of reviews we were worried about what to expect but it turned out that we needn't have worried. The first thing that we noted about the hotel was its fantastic location. The hotel is about a 5 minute work from... More

Alfa Nation has about the cheapest doubles with bathroom you can find in Paris and is a perfect place for budget travellers. The rooms are not very comfortable - quite small, with extremely small bathrooms - and you can hear noise from the corridors and neighbouring rooms. However, the rooms are impeccably clean, daily cleaned and provided with fresh towels,... More
