Hotels Near Institut français in Paris

I approached the receptionist on my way back from my activities and inform him there was no fan in my room as I had really suffered the night before, no fans in the room ,just one window , even when left opened no air/ breeze came in at all. Anyways I approached the receptionist and informed him there was no fan in my room: Firstly his response was : there aren’t fans in the rooms and asked me to correct myself by requesting for a fan instead( this is a lie to start with , I have 2 rooms booked (my friend & I) and the second room has a fan ) . I immediately corrected myself and requested for a fan instead, he kept on going about how I said it like the fans were readily in the room but I needed to requested them instead. He made me request for a fan 3 times all along I was patient with him and I obliged, but he kept talking so I banged the key on the desk as I was out of patience after requesting 3 whole times already!! For the 4th time!!! Anyways the man called “Yanis”refused to give me a fan because i banged the key on the desk, asking me to speak to him with respect, I reminded him that I have asked 3 times already but he won’t stop yapping on how I should have phrased or worded my English.. At this point my sister had to intervene, she insisted that I had been polite all along , I mean how do you make a guest request for an item 3 times whilst you sit on your high horse / chair demanding respect and telling me how to phrase my words.. I asked if I could speak to a manager ( clearly there wasn’t one) which he confirmed there wasn’t one . He then told us to leave the reception area as he was done talking to us.. I suppose he was able to get away with this because we were both females, I doubt he would do this if it was a male customer.

E’ stata una piacevole esperienza la nostra visita a Parigi. L’Hotel BLC è carino, comodo, molto vicino alla Gare de Lyone, la Signora presente al mattino molto disponibile e gentile, così come la ragazza che ci ha accolti, anche se parlava troppo velocemente e facevamo fatica a comprendere bene tutto. Ma alla fine è risultato tutto chiaro!! Letti molto comodi con cuscini morbidi e stanze sufficientemente silenziose. Molto buona la Colazione del mattino!!! Ho comunque 2 punti, negativi, da segnalare, sperando che possa far migliorare il servizio offerto da questo carino Hotel: 1) La pulizia delle camere interne (n.504 e n. 505) è stata fatta bene, ma non così il piccolo terrazzino esterno, dove abbiamo trovato un pezzo di focaccia che era li da parecchio tempo, mezzo rosicchiato dagli uccelli del circondario: oltre alle stanze interne penso che sia doveroso dare una pulita anche all’esterno!! 2) Nella mattinata del secondo giorno in Hotel non riuscivo a trovare il telecomando della televisione, lo ritrovai sotto la coperta del letto rifatto: è normale lasciare un telecomando sotto la coperta di un letto rifatto? Sono piccoli inconvenienti che non hanno influito più di tanto nella nostra più che gradevole gita a Parigi!

Very small but well organized, cozy and clean room, with everything you need. Special furniture and lighting. Recently renovated building. Breakfast self service but plentiful and of good quality. Friendly and helpful service. Quiet area and not too far from some places of historical interest.

The hotel is located in a beautiful place in Paris, near shopping and dining facilities. If you sleep on the street side of the hotel, don't forget to make ears, because it is quite noisy at night, especially in the weekend. The staff were correct for the rest and the hotel room was clean.

The hotel is extremely clean, the staff are very friendly and I’ve got nothing but good things to say about it. They were brilliant with my kids. The room is cleaned every day and the facilities nearby are excellent including a supermarket restaurants and public transport routes. I can’t thank him enough for such a fantastic experience.

Rooms are smaller than small. Carpet on the floor is disgusting. Bathroom needs renovation. Air in rooms is very, very dry! ”Clean” is a word, noone knows in this building. Breakfast is ok, dont eat the scrambled ”eggs”. Check in was fast. They don´t speak English, except the Check-In-Lady.

Cold, dark and quiet with a bathtub and a balcony! These items are very high on my list! So as much as the room was small, we expected that. However, there were some very odd design issues. The room seems to be designed with the idea that only one person will be sleeping in the room for a couple of nights. I say this, because the closet had room to hang about four items, there was no storage next to the beds and basically one shelf in the closet to put some clothing. The sink also didn’t have storage. My husband got everything wet most morning, because the sink wasn’t deep enough. However, the biggest design flaw was, if person 1 was in the bathroom and closed the sliding door and person 2 opened up the closet door and god forbid left the room, person 1 is now stuck in the bathroom. No phone in there either. I would stay here again, because the metro was right there and the area has many non tourist places to grab a quick bit. Front desk staff was very good. We did have an issue with the maid taking a working room key that was left in the room to keep the electric on. We had keys redone. The next day, we came back to our balcony door being open. Some security issues, in my opinion with this, but nothing was missing.

The hotel is a bit old around the corridors and walkways! its working on renovating but once inside the room it is nice and clean so wasnt too fussy on it! Great location, safe and easy accessible to tourist sights and shopping. Front desk was also very helpful so overall would recommend it just the hotel needs to work on finishing its renovation so it looks newer!

Stopped for 1 night, chose as the nearest hotel to the airport to catch the flight in the morning. Depressed grey design, dirty carpets at the entrance, staff not wearing badge. The respiratory rooms were confused, our friends gave the key to the busy room, well that the guests we woke up (we settled at 1 hour of the night) closed the door to the chain. Our room was e-chaiter, stove, refrigerator. The designer was probably with a good sense of humor because between the sandwich and the head of the bed instead of the wall a big transparent window! It can be closed with a curtain, but! The curtain is located on the side of the room, that is, only the person in the room decides to close them or open))) is not much if you sleep a little bit, when the light is on in the toilet, the feeling that the light is on in the room above your head. The interior is scratched, scratched on the floor, table, windows go out to the parking and they are very dirty. No soap and shower hat, e. the soots are uncomfortable and they are few, part is located in the floor itself, there is over the e. the stove, but there is no bed. Breakfast is scarce, cruissant, toasts, jam, cheese, sausage, surprised plastic devices! In general, the hotel creates the impression of uncomfortable and unpleasant, one night can be stayed, but there is no desire to return here.
