Hotel Edgar Quinet

I thought it would be old and quaint but it was just old. It’s not a place that you really want to spend time in. It was relatively clean and a decent area close to transport. I don’t like the fact that I had to leave the key at the front desk when I went out. I would spend more and stay somewhere nicer next time.

These clowns do short term luggage storage as a side gig through stasher dot com, which charges reservations up front, but they don't honor their contract, and are major a**holes about it (the hotel owner/manager acts as though giving them 50euro for a couple of hours of bag storage - pre paid/prereserved - is some kind of imposition and you're wrong to even think that such a thing would be an acceptable ("we can't possibly fit that many... They're too big" - 7 bags, again-pre- reserved 7 of 19 available spaces, and all are medium rolling suitcases, none oversized) . Avoid them (and stasher too, who gives you a hard time about refunds and refuse an email confirmation that they processed a refund at all while they sit on your money.) Can't even imagine how bad an experience actually staying here would be if that's how they treat a prepaid piece of luggage for a few hour stay

Avoid this hotel at all costs! I found two cockroaches in my room and left the first night. The hotel manager did not apologize and refused to give me a refund and gave me his Whatsapp number to process my cancellation because he was too “busy”. When I told him I did not feel safe in this hotel, he was extremely dismissive and offered a “better room”. If I found two cockroaches in my room, there are certainly more around the building because it is filthy. I made the mistake of cheapening out but it is not worth it. Booking was able to help but I didn’t get a full refund. Worst experience. Book a hostel instead, and if you have a bit more cash book a room at Hotel Elysa. Better rooms and better staff and great location. Hotel Edgar Quinet is worst than trash and it should lose its license as a hotel.
