8/10 Good

A hotel very close to the metro to gain access to all of Paris but without staying in the middle of the city. Shame evening restaurant is no longer using the breakfast room to allow the current room to return to being a bar/bar snacks room for sitting and chatting. The lobby area is impersonal.
Martin, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nothing specific to mention, both good or bad.
Jestine Jose, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We liked the convenience of Hotel across road from Metro station, M1 direct into Paris, Hotel was clean and good selection for Breakfast with plenty staff clearing tables so no waiting, The room was good we had good view of Eiffel tower from bedroom window, Reception staff excellent giving advise on how to get to attractions easily,
Jerry, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Extremely tiny rooms, rude staff especially the restaurant staff. As such nothing is there in the restaurant but on top of that the staff is mostly unfriendly unavailable snd rude. The frontdesk is unwelcoming too and makes you suffer for anything & everything!

Good stay

Generally good but would have been nice to have bottled water, iron and ironing board in the room rather than having to ask for one.

Osaren, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

We liked the location which was close to the metro and a short walk across the bridge to Neuilly which we really like. However, we thought this was a poor 4 star hotel. - air conditioning in the room was poor which was not ideal when it was so hot over our stay - the safe in the room was broken - the hotel and room generally seemed in need of update - we stayed in this hotel many years ago and it does not appear to have changed since - reception staff seemed not interested, and certainly not welcoming. On arrival, 2 reception staff were sitting talking in a separate room - certainly not business from body language, after some time waiting they came out, no bonjour, no welcome, just a look as we had disturbed their conversation. I may be wrong but it seems this hotel is so full of large group tours, they forget the individual. - On leaving, reception again - wanted to charge a second time for city taxes which I had already paid on arrival. However, it was for me to prove I had paid so had to open my bank app to prove it - it seems they had problems with their IT systems which had not updated the payment - a minor but indicative point, 2 small paper cups in the room for tea / coffee.
Clive, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great views from the room looking at the river and the Eiffel tower. That was the highlight for us. Commute to central Paris on ligne 1 was straightforward and convenient.
Salem, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Poor value for money

Stay was not good for the price paid. On the first night I could not sleep as room was too warm. I was told no air con do not start till April. Next day morning I could not get hot water in the shower. When complained I was told many people staking shower in the morning causes nonhot water. What a terrible system which can not manage it's capacity.
Vishal, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

100 meters from the metro line 1 so straight to paris center in 10 minutes, and lots of great restaurants in Levalois or Courbevoie and La Defense within walking distance. On the river so great views of Monmatre and eifel tower
Paul, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel was reasonable clean and in a nice area, but very dated. Rooms need renovation, looks like it hasn't been done since the 80s with wood chip wall paper. Definitely not a 4 star hotel.

Ciprian, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Poor Restaurant

the restaurant took around 30 mins just to bring the menu, and when I ordered a bottle of water they never brought it. they took my order after 45 mins, and due to all tables around me complaining about the service I decided to leave and cancelled my order. The gym has limited space.
Simon, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We didn't like the hotel at all. I don't know how it was considered 4 stars!! Our room floor looks disgusting and full of stains. We didn't have a mini fridge in our room to keep our water cool in the hot days we were there.
2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not 4 star.

This is not a 4 star hotel, its 3 or 2. The windows could not be opened, and there was no minibar. They did not clean the room during 2 days stay.
2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not worth the money
Petr, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The bedsheets were made out plastic, and the mini fridge was removed from the room. No complementary water was in the room although it was stated when the room was ordered. Furthermore we had a tv but no remote control. It would have been better if they kept the fridge and removed the tv
2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good value for the money

Pro: close to metro line 1, which is a good line to be on (direct access to major tourist sites, if a bit far; this is metro Zone 3). Good location for the money. Con: location-wise, this is a business district, nothing is open over the weekend; awkwardly located between traintracks and highways/bridges, so not walkable at all. I didn't book the breakfast thinking that I would eat around the hotel, but there was no good options. The breakfast was 19.50 Euros, which I thought was a bit pricey. The staff was very unprofessional, seemed very inexperienced. I complained about dirty grouts in the shower and instead of cleaning it, they offered me a free bottle of beer. They also didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the area. All in all, a solid 8/10, given the location and the value.
3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Extremely opposite of what has been shown in images on the website. Starting with access roads to hotel, then it’s parking (self-drive) was nightmare. Accessing parking gave extremely unsafe feeling as one has to navigate through multiple twists and turns to find spots that are for Novotel. The receptionist is very terrible and appeared biased. Several issues: 1. No dinner or Lunch or willingness to accommodate when we have prepaid half board, 2. Rooms are extremely tiny! Don’t go by any photos on websites. Too tight, 3. Extremely poor quality condiments in the room….4. Air conditioner is actually an oven with its fan ON! Nothing works!! Terrible experience with Novotel, and will never use this one again ever!
Manoj Bhagwan, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I’ve stayed in many Paris hotels, and if you’re expecting a 4-star, avoid this one. It should lose a star, and management needs to address the poor state. Clearly, guest experience is not a priority. I paid £500 for 2 nights in a “superior” room with a view, but it felt more like a dated 3-star motel. Check-in was bland—no interaction, no explanation of services, not even a confirmation of my booking. Staff seemed untrained. The 10th-floor corridor was dark and outdated, and the room wasn’t any better—cramped, gloomy, and unclean. The only positive was the view of the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. The depressing color scheme of browns and grays made the room feel even worse. Nothing about the room was "superior." A few Rituals products don't compensate for the lack of basics like robes, slippers, or water. £250 per night for this? The bathroom was tiny, with a faulty showerhead, and the loose socket was dangerous. The towels were so thin they were practically see-through. Clearly, the room wasn’t maintained. Breakfast was chaotic. The food was poor, and the hot dishes weren’t even warm. The dining area was unclean. This hotel isn’t any better than the IBIS next door. I’m just relieved I only stayed for 2 nights.
