Hotel Ferney République

Service is good. Front desk is nice. Wi-Fi is poor and no Tv signal. During the 2024 Olympic Games, the hotel rate was higher and it should be good WI-Fi and TV. No air condition is in the room, around August 8-13, temperature was higher than 30 Celsius degree. Anyway, I am okay. Nothing is really bothered me. My trip is going to run the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon Pour Tous. I’m excited and enjoying it. The prices were higher according to the hotel conditions.

The hotel is in a great location and the staff are very helpful and kind. However, the furnishings are tired and the hotel is in need of a refurbishment. Our room had no AC and the blackout curtains did not cover the window (not hung properly and dull of holes). Sleeping in the room was nearly impossible as we had to open all windows and the street is quite noisy. It was also very hot and not dark enough because of the terrible curtains.

Pillow was dirty. Showering wets the floor easily with no proper barrier. Toilet bowl cover cannot be kept upright. Door doesn’t lock smoothly. Furnitures are cheap and weirdly colored for a hotel. You’ll get the cheapest Walkways are dark. Weird practice of asking guests to leave keys at the counter when you leave the hotel (even just for a while). And when you reenter, they don’t even check if you’re the right guest before passing you the key, the staff even passed us the wrong key (to another room number), think about that Hotel has no ventilation system other than the window (next to noisy main road). Hotel gave us the option to pick a quieter room which was very gloomy and dimly lighted. If you’re expecting a hotel please go elsewhere. I would if I could provide zero star rating.

We were looking for a cheap hotel with a good location and we were positively surprised. It is in the Marais neighborhood. The staff is very nice and the room had everything we needed.
