Paris 13th arrondissement-Gobelins Hotels

Hotel che fa il suo lavoro, molto comodo con i mezzi, sia bus che metro; abbiamo scoperto che in settimana e fortunatamente non nella settimana in cui siamo stati noi, spesso la metro è chiusa in alcuni giorni e orari (per via dei lavori) ma in ogni caso anche i bus sono molto comodi. Purtroppo ci è capitata una piccola disavventura finita bene, ”ci sono entrati in camera” mentre eravamo dentro alla camera; una receptionist non aveva fatto correttamente il check-in e la nostra camera, prenotata e saldata all'arrivo, risultava comunque vuota; fortunatamente eravamo già dentro alla camera; ci eravamo infatti chiesti come mai ci avessero buttato gli spazzolini ed il sapone lo stesso giorno ed abbiamo capito poi il motivo! Fortunatamente, la roba nell'armadio e le valigie, non sono però state toccate; tutto è bene, ciò che finisce bene! Abbiamo ricevuto le scuse e non è successo nulla di rilevante. La colazione era basica con angolo baguette, pain au chocolat e croissant e pancake; yogurt, salumi-formaggi e marmellate varie, acqua, latte e caffè. Ci è stata data la possibilità di lasciare le valigie in una stanza nel guardaroba, e consiglierei più controllo nel momento del ritiro.

The averages Trip advisor reports for Location, Cleanliness, Service, and Value are about right, as is the 7.8 on booking com. The room I was given (on the first floor) was well appointed (separate toilet and shower, good bed, small but workable writing desk, large safe, etc.) The tv had only French-language channels with the exception of channel 100 which features BBC programming. The view was nothing to write about which was fine with me. The wifi was stable throughout. It stopped working on the morning of the second day for reasons I then did not understood. When I called the frontdesk I was told that it worked for them and that I just should wait it out. What? Turns out the problem is that you have to sign in every day anew. I figured it finally out. Alas, one would hope that the front-desk knows this problem which I am sure other guests have also encountered. Overall, the service is ok though. The brekkie was .. modest. The coffee was of variable quality, the scrambled eggs were ... pitiful, ... and there was not much selection. I guess, you get what you pay for (12 Euros). You can work there though since he wifi is stable there, too. The location of the hotel is very good; the place is a 10 - 15 Euro taxi ride away from Gare de Lyon and the Bercy bus station. Importantly, within 100 meter radius there is about half a dozen (mostly) Vietnamese eating places which are all quite good (e.g., the friendly and inexpensive banh place to the left of the hotel and the outstanding and very inexpensive Chinese ”crazy noodles” place to the right. Try both.) There is another hotel not far away that I prefer and typically stay in which is better along all dimensions (ask me), and offers better value, but the Paris-Italie is a creditable fall-back option.

Most amenities in this hotel show commitment to better our planet. There are no more plastic water bottles in the hotel, rather cold still water and sparkling water on tap in the lobby, where you can refill your container or grab a glass, for free. Access to floors and rooms is with bamboo-made magnetic cards 💳, very stylish. There are also 4 automatic coffee machines ☕️ where one can help oneself to cappuccinos, mochas, single and double espressos, americanos, etc. Free breakfast included croissants 🥐 , chocolate croissants, cold meats, yogurt, fruits 🍎 , cheeses 🧀, cereal 🥣, eggs 🥚 you can boil at your own taste and more. From 6:30am to 8:00am is the best time to get it, after that, it gets busier until 10:00 am when it’s removed. ROOM AMENITIES There were eight European type-C 200V outlets across the room and 2 USB outlets by one side of the main bed. When we arrived, the sofa beds 🛋 were already converted to beds and made; we thought of this as a very nice and smart gesture, considering that many hotels we’ve stayed at have sofa-beds with missing linens and we have to do the work. The bathroom is a minimalist expression of a bathroom: Curtains or sliding door is missing from the shower so after showering 🚿 you’ll notice a bit of water that needs to be wiped off, just for your own safety. Toilet, shower and sink are all in the bathroom and there was no lock in the room we got. Blame the jet-lag or not, the IKEA-type simple beds 🛏 were very comfy! It just would have been nice to have light sheets during one warm night, instead of just the thick covers. There was no safe in the room and only one safe for the whole hotel, operated by the manager. Apparently they haven’t had an incident “ever” and we didn’t experience anything either, leaving valuables such as passports, electronics, home keys 🔑, etc. AROUND THE HOTEL Excellent location: 🚶🏻 Walking distance from about 20 different restaurants as well as the Port D’Italie Metro 🚇 and Bus 🚌 station, where you can easily and inexpensively find transport.Oh, and very close to Paris’ interior circuit Boulevard Périphérique Intérieur, in case of driving around. Considering the €125 nightly rate for a room that can host 6 people that can be fed breakfast everyday, I’d say it’s a great deal. #ruizmedina⭐️

The hotel is neat and clean and rooms are very well-maintained. The breakfast service was also really good. While the location is extremely convenient, there is a bit of noise from the traffic so maybe there is some way to insulate the rooms from this. On one night there was quite some noise from someone talking loudly till about 1 am. So, aside from getting the room slightly better insulated, I think the hotel is very good value for money

The room is still the size of a European room, but the hotel is very new and the view is great overlooking the whole of Paris and the Seine. Breakfast was eaten on the rooftop on the 25th floor, which has many artists' works.

Located at Station along the RER C & Metro line: Bibliothèque François Mitterand. If you are in the station look out for Sortie 4, its is where the lift is and the closest to the hotel. If you are on street level, walk down the street between H&M and Decathalon to get to the hotel. When we reached the venue, we are surrounded by lanes that lead us to diff restaurants. The best thing we discovered is that Rue de Tobliac takes us all the way to the Quarter Chinos!! (metro Olympiads) To add: supermarket, pharmacy etc were all within reach The hotel staff was extremely helpful at check-in. Over the course of our stay we Noticed that they take took pride in their work from the breakfast service to advising us whats best with a child and large luggage. Bring your toothbrush. Fresh towels are provided

The environment is good, clean and safe. Staying in the hotel is simple and not good at English. Our Ctrip customer service is very helpful. 24-hour customer service can help you solve the problem. Hotel wifi is free. The 13th district is the Chinese district. The hotel is four-star. It's worth staying at this hotel for this price

I have stayed at this apartment hotel several times. This time, we were assigned to the 8th floor by the hotel. The room felt very large. It is estimated that the overall area could exceed 26 square meters. Of course, the room facilities are also very good, and simple meals can be prepared. There is a Carrefour supermarket in the commercial center downstairs with sufficient goods. There is a farmer's market nearby on weekends, Tuesdays and Thursdays, making life convenient. Take a stroll along Avenue Gobelin into the center of Paris.

Very basic equipment (3 beds, 3 bedside tables, 1 chair, 1 TV - hung under the ceiling (French TV channels), 1 built-in wardrobe with broken veneer) in a very small room. Bathroom no more than 1.5 square meters: plastic sink from the 1990s with stains, drain defective, shower suspension defective, toilet seat for 5 EUR), joints yellowed. The free toiletries were soap and shampoo. Everything so far clean, but extremely simple. Beds shorter than 2m. Underground garage very narrow (26 EUR per day was fine). Breakfast room without ventilation (corona concept?). Baguette was counted, only added on request. Location good, much was accessible by foot or bus / metro. Overall, clearly too expensive.

Very special hotel! Recommended by friends in Paris, just on the banks of the Seine, many locals do not know, the hotel rooms are not many, the service staff are very enthusiastic, the hotel does not have elevators but the waiters will take the initiative to help carry luggage! It feels like a boat or a ship is modified. When the waves are big, sometimes the room will swing with it but it won't be fierce! In addition to enjoying the view of the Seine River in the room, I often see the train on the Iron Bridge but it is not noisy, and there are cruise ships in the river! The only downside is that the room is too small and it is very crowded to open a suitcase! So the physical examination took two nights and moved away!
