Grand Hôtel de l'Europe Reviews

The soundproofing of the room is okay. It faces the street and it's not too noisy. The location is very convenient. It's especially convenient to buy a one- and two-day subway card. You can get to the subway in one minute after leaving home.

The room is close to the train station but very small

The hotel is really dilapidated and the hygiene is very poor. After lying down all night, there are traces of two small insect bites on my body. The bathroom is also very small, but the staff is very nice.

Hotel très bruyant. Ne recommande pas

It’s an affordable hotel that is clean and very central. Most metro stations are very close, one is right next to the hotel. The main train stations are very close by (including Eurostar). We stayed on the sixth floor, which has a fantastic view (you can even see the Eiffel Tower). The room was cleaned on a daily basis. There is a 24 hour reception, which is great if you want to check in late/ leave the keys. We had options to leave our luggage before and after arrival (check-in). Additionally, there is an elevator that takes you all the way up to your room. The private bathroom has a shower and fresh towels were provided every day. We walked to all of the main attractions as Paris isn’t that big. The hotel has a great public transport connection to Disneyland as well. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and will give you advice if you need it. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend the hotel! Info: I read that some reviews mentioned that the area doesn’t seem safe. It is a train station area and almost every big city can be quite busy close to train stations, so yeah, you will see lots of homeless people that might ask you for money, however, there’s nothing wrong with that. The area is probably one of the more affordable location for Parisian, which we as Londoners can relate to. We had no bad encounter, and no one tried to steal our money, you will be absolutely fine! If you come from a big city like we do, you won’t have any issues. Again, most attractions are close by and the main roads take you directly to your destination.

Terrible cleanliness. Lot of bugs. Very expensive. Small room and tiny bathroom. No AC for hot summer. Value for money is one of the lowest I've spent in UK & Europe. Never thought I would see anything like this after spending €200 per night. Only positive is the location.

I am very sad to say that we chose this hotel on the basis of average European prices and location. The quality of this place does not correspond to its price at all! We paid 129 EU per night for a double room that was barely usable. It had a damp smell, a soft spongy bed that left us with a couple of red spots that look like bedbug bites, and a small dark shower that had a constant smell of wee. The sliding door to the shower would not close all the way, and there was no air vent or light in the shower area itself. We had to do with the light over the sink and air the room to get the moisture out. This part of Boulevard de Strasbourg is very loud! There are a lot of late-night spots and public transport stops - so it is very loud at night! Now... we had stayed in 2 star hotels before, but we had never paid so much for being uncomfortable. This hotel takes the prize for the most unrefurbished, dingy and overpriced hotel we have stayed in so far. The only good thing about it is location - it's right outside Gare de l'Est, which has fantastic Metro connections.

We stayed for 2 nights in this hotel. Location wise it is very close to train station and surrounded by restaurants. We had a terrible experience with room cleanliness, it was impossible to sleep due to the amount of bed bugs and other sort of insects as baby cockroaches in the beds, from the outside all look good but when actually sleeping in the sheets it was a nightmare. Completely unsanitary conditions. I got so many bites. I would not recommend anyone else to stay here to avoid living our same situation.

My famiie and now quite a few in our circle of friends, have used this cozy old and extremely well located hotel for over 35 years. The hotel contains small very simple rooms with private bathroom as well as sensible beds and closet, desk, chair and TV. The staff have been here for many years and are super helpful. In the basement there is a cozy and nice place for the typical simple Parisian breakfast with completely fresh barguette and croisant, which is picked up completely fresh from the baker who is next door. For this coffee / tea and juice. The Gare d'el Est Metro is located right next to the hotel. Just behind the hotel you will find the very cozy Canal saint Martin with locks and canal speed. Since you live super centrally - the traffic is heard of course. Therefore, rooms on the upper floors are preferable. Here the city skyline can be seen with both the Eifel Tower and Sarcre Ceur from the top floor.

This hotel is not any luxurious or any beautiful or cozy or attractive, but you are near Gare de l'Est for little money! It's good enough, clean, room service, good heating the whole day and night, comfy bed. Breakfast is very bad, to be avoided. Can be noisy because of the transport outside. Still - its cheap and it's Paris!

The hotel is very dirty... Check in was at 2pm, and despite having arrived after 3pm the room was not ready!!! The dirty blankets... 2 windows which however could not be opened since there was furniture and a bed... The bathroom was very old and dilapidated...

L'attitude du personnel c'était vraiment à vomir, d'une mauvaise foi comme jamais vu. Il ne voulait pas accepter la réservation faite sur Booking et il voulait nous facturer une chambre 30€ plus chère que ce qu'on avait payé sur Booking. Il voulait profiter du fait que ma copine est nouvelle sur Paris pour lui facturer plus cher. Heureusement j'ai insisté, mais ça aurait pu très bien finir en appel à la police dû à son essai d'arnaque. Il a mis plusieurs excuses pour ne pas vouloir accepter la réservation sur Booking: plus de disponibilité alors que 2 minutes avant il nous avait dit qu'il avait 3 chambres libres. Ça n'a pas fonctionné car il s'était découvert tout seul. Après il nous a dit que dès qu'on rentre par la porte de l'hôtel, il faut payer le prix affiché et qu'une résa sur Booking ça marche pas. Encore un mensonge.... Réservez sur Booking, jamais sur place. Sur son ordinateur était bien marqué que les chambres doubles sont à 74€, mais sur place il va vous dire que c'est 105€.

J'ai séjourné dans cet hôtel du 16 au 21/05/23. Nous avons passé un bon séjour. Hôtel propre, personnel à l'écoute. Hôtel bien situé pour les transports. Hôtel qui propose un petit déjeuner continental. Hôtel ayant un ascenseur, wifi. Hôtel qui propose un service bagage qui est payant.

A localização é perfeita! A 5 passos da estação de metrô. Em frente ao burger king e mercadinhos próximos. Os funcionários foram bem gentis e atenciosos. A cama era bem confortável. O quarto era limpo todos os dias. Ficamos no 7º andar(último) com uma vista maravilhosa da Torre Eiffel e basílica sacre coer. O elevador é bem pequeno e cabe apenas 1 pessoa com mala ou 2 pessoas sem mala (no máximo mais uma criança)… mas é uma graça… toca musiquinha enquanto sobe. O hotel oferece café da manhã a parte por 6,50 euros porém não cheguei a tomar no hotel. Visitamos todos os pontos turísticos a pe desde o hotel e pegamos metro apenas pra voltar pro hotel no fim do dia. Voltarei a me hospedar aí com certeza!
