I have just come back from staying 1 night in the Hotel Francais (Libertel). The building is currently having some major building work and the disruption was awful. I was in room 407 right next to the renovations but I think most rooms and floors were affected. As soon at is passed 8am the noise of the banging and drilling... More

We stayed in this hotel in early January after reading other reviews on trip advisor. It is not in the centre of Paris but conveniently located near one of the main train stations that can connect you to all he main attractions. We used the metro to get all over Paris and found it more efficient than London (not sure... More

We stayed at this hotel over the expensive Christmas, New year period. The hotel was reasonably priced. The rooms were adequate, clean and light filled. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The location of this hotel, next to a supermarket and two minutes walk to the train station was convinent. I felt safe in the area as I was... More

Sure, the personal happiness index is strongly related to the actual room rate you get. In my case, this was EUR80 for a double room w/o breakfast through booking.com. What I got for that was far beyond of what I expected: quiet, clean and spacious room with a very comfortable double bed, spotless (though outdated) bathroom, very kind front staff.... More

It was the first time I was afraid to book a hotel after having read some of the recent reviews of Hotel Francais. Yet for my needs, everything fit. So I took a chance and booked. It was lovely! And Eric, at the front desk in the mornings, should be working at the best hotel in the world for his... More

on check-in, I was followed up to my room by a women and i felt had to lie about who i was and why i was there. . When sitting on the loo, both shoulders touched the walls either side. the room was less than twice as wide as the single bed the wifi - the only reason I was... More

Upon arrival, everything seemed pleasant, including the close proximity to the train stations. When we got to our room, the room was tiny, loud from the people in the bad neighborhood, and the air conditioning did not work (important for summer in Paris). When we let the front desk know, they didn't believe us and simply told us we were... More

PROS: Convenient location: a few steps from the Gare de L'est, metro, boulangerie, McDonalds & restaurants, supermarket. 10min from the Gare du Nord. Very clean rooms. Sheets and towels are white and new. Airconditioning is really helpful with summer in Paris. Free wifi. Rooms facing the street have small typical French balconies which was fun to get the "Parisian" experience.... More
