Hotel Paris Bruxelles - Paris

Neighborhood was great, but hotel should be 0 star (listed 2*). Tiny room, dirty....everything was under expectation! Will be ok for young guy or student visiting Paris but not for couples or families.

BED BUGS!Absolutely unacceptable! The worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. Even worse than the bedbugs that woke us up at 3 am, was the staff. Most of all the supposed supervisor that treated us terribly. Disappointment and a sleepless night force me to dis-sway anyone from choosing this hotel if they appreciate sound sleep, cleanliness and being treated kindly as a requisite for hospitality.

Location is the best, close to Marais, metro stations and service shops. We asked for 2 separate beds and we got a single bed. The receptionist was rude and did not make an effort to solve the problem. When asked basic questions on the bed and room he pretended not to understand simple English. then he got angry and threw us in the street and threat to cancel our reservation, picked up the telephone and called hotels.com so we look for another hotel, and threat to throw us on the street. This made us nervous, scared and we ended accepting all his condition in order to start our stay. needless to say, this made our arrival to Paris awful. I would ask the managers to instruct their personnel on how to work in the hospitality sector. I felt attacked, ashamed and offended in from of my friends. The other days the receptionists were friendly and even spoke Spanish. But I would never recommend this hotel to non French speakers and would strongly ask management to investigate who the receptionist was, and take measures (worked on July 29th morning shift). I even felt unsafe during my whole stay. The person was violent and extremely unfriendly. I would spend the same money in renting an apartment since the rooms, and infrastructure and breakfast are not good either.

This was a great location with a very warm friendly staff. Closeness to Republic made getting around easy. Room was comfortable, bathroom adequate but very small. Would highly recommend for a value for money stay in Paris and convenient location.

My only complaint is: why do the french NOT invest in a few fans. The rooms are always hot hot hot. I don't mind no air conditioning but how much does a simple fan cost!! The parking was reasonably priced and once we figured it out, very good. The only bad part was it is a bit of a hike from the hotel but easy to find. The people at the desk were very helpful. They were able to answer our questions and helpful with solving our little problems.
