Café Hôtel de l'Avenir

Stepping out of the hotel, you'll immediately see the bus stop, and the M13 subway station is also nearby (though I wouldn't recommend it if you have luggage as there's no elevator). It's convenient for getting anywhere. Directly across from the hotel, there's a McDonald's and a fantastic bakery that became my daily breakfast spot. Downstairs, there's a romantic restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The hotel owner is very welcoming. However, be aware that after booking on Trip.com, the owner will collect an additional tax upon arrival. The hotel corridors are narrow, but the rooms are spacious and feature charming small balconies with views of a small church. It's quiet at night, no disturbing noises, though you might be startled by the sound of neighboring guests opening their doors. The blankets and sheets were not very clean. Also, there's no elevator in the hotel, and the stairs are small, making it quite a struggle with luggage. Aside from the excellent location and the delicious bakery, I probably wouldn't stay here again.

This was my second stay here. I had a spacious room with a balcony. The room had a kettle, plenty of towels, and a nice bathroom. The view from the window was pleasant. Downstairs, there's a wonderful cafe that serves delicious and quite affordable food. The metro and bus stops are literally just a stone's throw away. I really like that everything operates with codes; there's no need to carry hotel keys or cards. It also feels very secure. Housekeeping is daily.

I can only give it 5 stars for the location. It's right across the street from the metro, and you can get to the Eiffel Tower in 40-50 minutes. There's also a McDonald's and a large supermarket across the street where you can buy groceries. There's no cleaning service in this hotel, and it feels like it hasn't been cleaned in years. In reality, they just change the towels, and that's it. The entire room is covered in centuries-old dirt (hair, stains, a filthy floor, and bathroom). Plus, the cherry on top is if your neighbor smokes next door, all the stench will seep into your room. And there's absolutely no soundproofing. In all my years of traveling the world, this was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. You should only consider it if you're in a truly desperate situation. I'll add, for your reference, that this review is from someone who doesn't stay in fancy 5-star hotels. I always choose simple hotels when I travel.

I highly recommend this hotel. The reception was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the location was superb. Good service for a good price. Wishing everyone good luck!

The room was very clean, but the shower door didn't open very wide. Otherwise, no complaints.

This is a suitable accommodation option for those with low expectations.
