Hôtel de la Gaîté Reviews

The hotel location was good, but the room was not soundproof, so if you are a light sleeper I would not recommend.

The value for price is terrible. The posted (official price) is 249€ per night, the charge when booking the room was 375 per night: But the actual value is merely 150€ per night, being fair and factual!

Its very good sensible price’s nice and quiet for hotel area

perfect everything and clean the perfect service 100/100

The room was clean and tidy, pet-friendly, and the front desk was helpful

It is an old house with a small elevator, but the service is very good and the transportation is very convenient

A slightly cool reception, let’s call it efficient and professional. The lift is tiny (2 people 1small suitcase and it’s full). The room was small and the bathroom bijou (polite for minuscule) but speak and comfortable. This is a modern French hotel with French rooms in a city with space limitations.

We were very disappointed with the conditions of the hotel. The place itself wasn’t clean, we got new towels that were folded dumped. The tiles on the toilet were falling literally with us standing on it. Found a big bit of hair on the toilet after our second day that weren’t ours. Breakfast wasn’t the best and the staff were doing laundry and services around the breakfast area at the time of breakfast. So we could hear and see and be around the staff doing their daily job while we were trying to eat our breakfast, which was very uncomfortable. WiFi never worked properly ( so we couldn’t rely on it at all) , both networks (guest and client).

We checked in late with our two young kids, and from the minute we walked through the door the alarm bells started ringing. Let’s start by saying that whoever took the photos for the advertisement would be better described as a magician rather than a photographer. If we hadn’t arrived late we would not have stayed here at all and made alternate arrangements. My partner took the kids up to the room while I arranged the bags and pram and struggled up to the 5th (top) floor in the tiny lift (I’ve no idea how I would have got them down the tight, steep staircase in an emergency). When I arrived in the smell in the room (a mixture of smoke and damp) was overpowering. The tiles were coming off the wall in the shower, there was mould around the windows, the room hadn’t been cleaned properly (sticky glass marks on bedside table) and the temperature was either freezing cold or hotter than hell. I explained to the night manager that this wasn’t acceptable and was unsafe for children and I’d like to change our stay to one night only he said there was nothing he could do until the morning when the manager arrived. It was late and at this hour we had no option but to sleep here (I never slept a wink on a disgusting sofa bed which was meant for me children, absolutely no chance) that night. As it turns out the day manager spun us the same story, that this would have to be referred to another manager who wasn’t available. In short, don’t stay here. We left ASAP!

No fridge. No comforter. Pretty entrance. Great location to stores, train stations and metro stations. Hot water. Cute roo.

Horrible property. Pictures on the website are very deceiving; bathroom is disgusting. Broken faucet left on the floor. Carpet is at least 30 years old. Sliding door broken, wouldn’t slide. sink broken& stained and water did not go down; no shower door. Water spilled everywhere. Hallways are disgusting. SHAME on you ******* for allowing such a horrible hotel advertise on your website!

Wifi didn’t connect to internet. Shower was loosely fixed to the wall. Two power points in the room didn’t work. Light in the corridor outside the room didn’t work. Room was small but OK. Shower was minuscule and uncomfortable with not enough room to avoid the plastic shower curtain. Bed was reasonably comfortable!

Very good value for money for this hotel very close to Montparnasse railway station

The Personnel are really good and friendly
