Paris 14th arrondissement-Observatoire 2-star Hotels

My flight got delayed, so I arrived late to the hostel around 2 AM on the night of March the 10th ”My reservation was from the 9th, so no problem” I seemed to wake up the receptionist who suddenly got busy on phone but had done the check in procedures, I reconfirmed it's a bottom bunk bed ”due to a medical condition, I can't climb” he said Yes Yes.. My room is on the 5th floor, I was fine and asked if there's a lift, he said Yes Yes ”basically was busy on phone and didn't even listen to what I was saying” I went up ”no lift btw but it was okay” to find the bed assigned is on top, and there was only one person in the room! I went down again asking if I can take the vacant bottom bed, then he got mad!! No you can't, wait for my colleague in the morning to see if he can move you. I asked if I can stay at the reception till then, but no it's closed... So I will just stay here in front of the Reception desk I replied. I affirmed I had my request delivered for a bottom bed, there was only one person in the room, so why can't I just get any?! He got very mad; started to call me crazy, and then shifted to the ”I don't speak English” and saying Me NO ME NO ME NO... He then approached very very close waiving threatening with his finger ”saying we are not discriminating you”!!! What? Who said discrimination?!! Then, I started to film his attitude with my cell phone right away as it was that close it gets physical.. He panicked when I started to film and called the police on me and asked me to go spend the night in the kitchen!!! Unluckily for him, I can understand French pretty well but I only speak English... He asked the police to come because I was making a fuss and a scandal. The police arrived like 30 mins later, while me shaking and waiting in front of the desk as he vanished when I started to film. Very Unluckily for him, the police was very supportive to me and they spoke English... When I told them the whole story; they asked him to return my money as long as they didn't adhere to my request for bottom bed, it's a medical condition but he was so rude to them as well saying, It's not his problem! He refused to refund saying tomorrow in the afternoon I come back to his colleagues be refunded. The police stayed with me till I booked another hotel for the night and THEY SAID IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY RECEIVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PERSON but they can't file a case against him since it didn't get physical. While booking an alternative accommodation at 3 AM outside in the street, he called me in to give my money back!! This is a story I wanted to share, a story of lying, aggressive, and rude receptionist. Ah, and to the police; he stated that there's someone taking the bottom bed... While the key of the bottom bed was actually left on the check out tray!!! If you want ur days ruined and both yours physical and psychological health abused and tortured go to this place and deal with this man in particular. I dare their management

We stayed at GW for two nights. Montparnasse station and Danfer Rochelow station are about 13 minutes walk. Since the airport bus departing and arriving at Montparnasse station is gone, it is very convenient to be able to go to the airport without changing by RER from Danfer Rochelow station. The subway is about 8 minutes from Gete Station. Since it is a hotel on a big street, the surroundings are bright and you are not afraid to walk at night. Moreover, it is quiet at night. It is convenient because the monoprix grocery store near Montparnasse station is open until 23:40. One of the male staff at the front desk was surprised that he was good at Japanese. In addition, he was very kind. Breakfast is served with baguettes and petit size croissants, pan o chocolate, pan orezan in a basket. The baguette was delicious. Drinks can be served in a pot with coffee, tea or chocolate. Orange juice is also available. Then there are a few kinds of shelves of Financier, yogurt, jam and cheese. I thought I would go out to eat if breakfast was too much, but it was enough. Due to the depreciation of the yen, the hotel in Paris for the first time in 4 years was very expensive, and I was worried about where to stay, but I chose this place and it was the correct answer. There is a classic elevator and the rooms are large enough. There is no refrigerator in the room, but it was a very good hotel considering the price.

About 500 meters from the subway station, the second last station on the 4th line, belonging to the subway line 1 area, buy the cheapest 1.9 subway ticket to the major attractions in the city of Paris (recommended to buy 10 a book at a time, an average of one Zhang 1.49), triple room, the room is quite small, only one box can be opened, the shower room and the bathroom are separated, the bathing room is not wrong, the bath room is too small, and the water leaks out, but the price is also in Paris. Can't ask too much. Breakfast 6 euros a person, croissants are delicious, there is a tram next to the subway station, a few stops to the Chinese area, there are many Chinese restaurants, but the Chinese area is more chaotic, more black people, more drunks, after eating black It’s better to go back to the hotel.

The hotel has an amazing location. There is a metro stop right outside of the hotel and there are numerous restaurants/cafes right outside. We absolutely loved our stay here. This is an older hotel and has a lot of unique characteristics (small elevator, varying room configurations, etc). We found these things charming as were evidence of the age/history of the building. This is a two star hotel (meaning no restaurant, gym, etc.), but it is five stars when it comes to charm and location. The bathrooms were modern and well functioning. There was a heat wave when we were the and the air conditioning worked great. We had friends staying in another room and they booked a larger room. I would definitely spend the extra money for the larger room. The front desk staff were all so friendly and helpful. A special acknowledgment of Nicolas (The Receptionist) who is an artist.

An excellent hotel for my weekend in Paris. Situated in a bustling area with plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés and with all modes of transport on the doorstep for when you want to explore the city. The room was modern, clean and quiet with a super-comfortable bed. Toilet and shower room were squeaky clean and fully equipped with everything you'd need. Continental breakfast at €10 was fresh, plentiful and delicious, as good as any of the nearby patisseries. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly and made me feel very welcome as a solo female traveller. I would highly recommend this lovely hotel as an ideal base to stay when visiting and exploring Paris. It's far better than the 2 Stars it's rated at. (Coffee making facilities in the room would have made my stay 5 🌟)

The location is very good, right next to the Denver Rose station on the RER B line, 2 minutes walk, the room is small, the family room for three is fine, the price is a little higher, the service is good, the bathroom is not big, single is enough, opposite the MONOPRIX supermarket there are McDonald's, chinese restaurants, subway lines 4/6, near the monuments of the tombs of paris, it is recommended.

2 stars : the rooms are small accordingly, but very clean for it. The staff was very friendly. There is no lift and no air conditioning. As a result, it was very hot now in August at 35 degrees in Paris. There are large windows but no outdoor rollo and the rooms inside have only one window to a 1m large sheet. We could have easily changed the rooms, The location is good, since the metro and bus are within 10 minutes. The distance and the evening is very much good restaurants and beautiful cafes and bars.

Breakfast was very French, yogurt oatmeal coffee white cheese apple puree bacon, I ate with the old French lady next to me. What she eats what I eat haha. It is a small room of 9 square meters, but it also has a separate toilet and bathroom, which is good. Living alone is really suitable. The staff is also very nice and speaks English. But there was no inspection when checking out. So I dropped my earphones ...
