Good: The room cleaners are all elderly people, and it can be seen that they work hard and responsibly. The front desk and the doorman are enthusiastic and professional. In short: the quality of the staff is high.
Disadvantages: This old house, with its size and area, is not suitable for the Melia hotel if it is not thoroughly renovated, and it will definitely ruin the brand. Looking at the surrounding buildings, the landlord is likely to take back the house from Melia and rent it to luxury brands. From the floor plan and satellite map, it can be seen that the second floor of the hotel borrowed several houses from the single-family house in the north as guest rooms. And our family was arranged in a strange corner of the house, and we couldn't unfold the sofa bed, so we could only lay a spring bed with a width of about 800mm. Isn't it a bit strange that the indoor courtyard in the north is quieter than the main building? Upside down. The air-conditioning fan in the indoor courtyard of the main building blows 24 hours a day, and the rooms facing the inside of the main building can't open the windows at all, and the noise is very loud. Because the room is too old, some odors are in the dead corner of the decoration, and the room height is also very low. It's okay to visit the former residence of Sherlock Holmes, but not to live in it.
In short: you can see from the floor plan that if this hotel has rooms facing the street, it is still livable, but it is obviously very small and only big enough for a large bed. And those rooms facing the inside are definitely not suitable for hotels! Not recommended. Because there are huge air-conditioning fans working 24 hours a day.
Complaints and disputes: The goods are not the same as the pictures. The room type pictures booked are completely different from the actual stay. Ctrip or Booking or Meliá official website, it's the same. So: if you book this hotel, you have to call to confirm whether there is a room you want to stay in! Otherwise you will be frustrated. After a severe complaint, the follow-up of the hotel's front desk manager Marina Garcia was very timely. She tried her best to change to an available room, but unfortunately the room still faces the inside. But at least you don't have to sleep on an infantry spring bed, you can sleep on a sofa bed. Finally, there is a separate shower area and a bathtub that is so old that it will never be used. There are also 3 bottles of drinking water, which shows that the work has been done seriously.
The only advantage of this hotel: location. The center of the center. Within 200 meters, all major attractions and luxury shopping are covered. So, if you want to go shopping, visit the Louvre, or the Eiffel Tower, you can take an Uber directly to get there. It is convenient, safe, and not too tiring. It is suitable for one or two people, but not suitable for children.
Summary: Considering the cheap Uber fare in Paris, it is strongly recommended to choose a new hotel in a new building in the La Defense business district. Or Pullman. Go to Paris during the off-peak tourist season.
