LE RELAIS MADELEINE ^{* * * *}

This hotel is overall very disappointing. It's easy to be fooled by the photos which seem charming enough, but actually you'll meet several annoyances during your stay here: poor service, poorly regulated temperature, and very poorly soundproofed rooms. For this purpose I have attached my own photos of the hotel. The reception area is pleasant enough. However in the rooms, the walls are thin and the windows are not soundproofed at all. We had many sleepless nights here (loud mopeds in the street, shouting, loud relations in the other rooms, crashing and banging next door, and general noise all night). I would go so far as to say most nights we got very poor sleep. Beds were ok. Mornings were disturbed with machinery and pneumatic drilling. Inside the hotel, our "do not disturb" sign was routinely ignored and reception would make a point of calling the room if we said no thank you to the maid (due to total lack of sleep). More disturbances! We decided upon consideration that this hotel must falsely inflate their reviews. Many of the poor reviews receive a sassy, discrediting reply, with little professional sincerity, much like the attitude of staff during a stay here. Extremely hot temperature in the room too through the night, and the night reception told us they are "not allowed" to change the aircon setting to cool, JUST in case other guests might get cold. We were sweltering. No complimentary normal hotel items, such as cotton buds, cotton pads, shower caps or even a nail file - I asked specifically and was told "not really". A totally empty "Rituals" branded toiletries tray, they instead use generic shampoo and handwash glued to the wall in a plastic container, and very stingy offering of teabags. To our relief, we booked Hotel Maison Nabis for the latter part of our Paris stay and it was by far superior and far more stylish.

Lovely hotel

Hotel is exactly what you expect it to be from the website, very friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed here for four nights. Nice staff, reasonable buffet breakfast (€20) and nice interior. Would love to stay again :-)
