Residhome Saint Ouen

HOTEL PROPRE, CALME ET SPACIEUX. JE RECOMMANDE

Terrible response from manager...hes always away and not once did he call back. Still no refund for my deposit. Not as close to Arc de Triomphe than they suggest. There's a huge factory across the road. heavy machinery all night unless its a holiday.

We needed a place for 3 nights over the Rugby World Cup semi-finals. This apart-hotel was perfect- a short taxi-ride to Stadium in St Dennis. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean, newish, and reasonably well equipped. You won't cook a dinner for 8, but a small hob, a kettle, a fridge and a microwave will deal with plenty of things that you can buy from a nearby supermarket. There are also bars, restaurants, boulangeries etc. within easy walking distance. It's located in a part of Paris undergoing renewal in expectation of the Olympic games in 2024 and thus well away from the tourist traps, bag-snatchers and pickpockets which have made this once-proud city a place to avoid, for the most part. It's also close enough to Metro and bus routes, so if you really do want to visit the traditional attractions, you can do so and return to a lodging which is clean, comfortable and well-priced. There is a strong Middle Eastern/North African influence in the area and Da Djerba, a block away, is an excellent Tunisian restaurant. I don't know if there is off-street parking but if you arrive by car and park on the street, leave nothing of value visible. Patches of splintered side-window glass told their own story.
