Platine Hotel

Location was convenient. Less than 5min from Charles Michel Metro. There's a supermarket right across the road as well. It was a small boutique hotel so don't expect too many amenities, although there was still space for a small gym and sauna.

Pleasant stay and the location is very good. Near to eateries and groceries. The only downside is the shower which is at a weird position. Other than that love this place so much!

Let’s start with the positives. I go to Roland Garros every year and this is an excellent location. You can walk to the grounds in 40 minutes and the hotel is accessible to metro and the rest of Paris. I’m a big fan of this area. I had high hopes for this hotel but was sadly disappointed. First, let’s talk about the size of the room (see the picture). It’s perfectly fine for a single traveler but I cannot imagine sharing this room. There would literally be no way to walk around the room if you have luggage. And also notice the glass door to the bathroom. Unless you and your traveling companion are so intimate that you need no privacy you’re ok, but if this makes you as squeamish as me, look elsewhere. The hotel is very very crowded all of the time. There were massive crowds in the lobby at all hours. Waiting for an elevator at any time took at least five minutes. I didn’t mind hiking up five levels using stairs but you may not want to do this. The hotel encouraged guests not to use housekeeping and even gave you a little sign to put on the door saying that a tree would be planted for each time you declined the service. Lovely idea, but may I suggest an upgrade on the towels. They are so thin that they are not even fit for a hostel, which required more housekeeping than I would normally request so I didn’t have to use a wet towel. The housekeeping is not great either. The toilet broke during my stay. I went downstairs late at night to tell the front desk, but nobody was there to help. I just had to go down to the basement each time I wanted to use the bathroom which is was easier than getting the attention of the front desk. Housekeeping didn’t fix the issue either. Housekeeping also didn’t refill the soap and shampoo bottles in the room. After proceeding to the front desk late at night to ask for more shampoo and body wash (and again not getting any help) I went across the street to monoprix to buy my own. A few more tidbits: - The one piece of exercise equipment in the very small gym (a treadmill) didn’t work. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you want a working gym. - My key card stopped working twice during my visit (necessitating more visits to the front desk to get it fixed). - After six nights at this hotel, the night manager stopped me as I came back my final night, grilling me about the details of my reservation. Although I appreciate the extra security measures, perhaps focusing on defective toilets, broken key cards, and lack of cleaning supplies in the rooms would be a better use of time 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, this place was certainly interesting but for the same price I recommend the Novotel or Mercure in the same area.

Extremely small rooms

Booked this for a long weekend break with my fiance, we were not sure what the area would be like as had not heard much about this part of Paris but we could not have been happier at this find. Its next to several key metro stations and as you depart the hotel and turn left onto the street you are treated to a view of the Eifel Tower which is a mere 15 min walk away. The hotel staff were super friendly and welcoming and the hotel is spotless. The rooms are not massive but that wasnt the main reason for us vising Paris, the room and bathroom were spotless and one of best showers in terms of pressure we have experienced. The hotel has a sauna and steamroom which we used twice and were excellent. We also used the game room late one evening with a couple of drinks from the honesty bar - and given we maybe drank a wee bit too much that night we took 3 items from the mini bar in our room but for 2 redbull's, a water and a full bottle of red wine we were 28 euros to pay which I thought was really reasonable. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby that we visited for drinks in the evening once our sightseeing was done. We didnt have breakfast here as wanted to enjoy as many boulangeries as we could out and about during our time but it did smell incredible! Taxi to and from was set price from CDG at 65 euros - hotel had our taxi booked for us at 3pm on our last day and kept the luggage for us no problem after check out so we could do more sight seeing. The price for our stay was very reasonable and we will def be staying here again - quality of sleep was excellent as no noise from the street at all and bed was super comfy - I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Paris for a long weekend and fancy trying a new area thats not in the more well known ones.

Easy checkin , beautiful room, easy breakfast, easy access to shops, walking distance to metro….liked Disliked….rooms are small, no ventilation in bathroom, Carpet everywhere so dusty and elevator noisy. I would still recommend this hotel, had a good time.

Great little hotel. Nice Parisian atmosphere

Nice little 4 star boutique hotel. Pretty quirky. Wonderful friendly staff and room and bathroom and communal areas immaculate. Nice continental breakfast too. About a 25 minute walk to Eiffel Tower. Very reasonably priced. Shame not to have a kettle and coffee making facilities in the room which is expected in a 4 star hotel but other than that great little reasonably priced place for a business trip!
