Jeff Hotel

Paris|0.04km from Mark Hudson
I was due to stay here for 2 nights, having arrived by overnight coach from Geneva. Upon arrival in Paris, I headed straight to the hotel, where the guy on reception agreed to store my bag in the cupboard until I could check-in. So off I went for a wander around Paris, during a heatwave, racking up thousands of steps! After lunch, headed to the hotel via the nearby franpix shop, stocking up on water and a couple of snacks. Having booked through Booking.com, their profile stated I could pay by 'Visa or Mastercard' and that the property already had my card details. I was expecting a straightforward check-in, however... When trying to check-in, the receptionist - who I'd not seen wearing a face mask at all - checked my passport and then told me that I had to pay, but that the card machine was broken. He demonstrated this by holding up an unplugged card machine... He pointed me in the direction of a nearby ATM. This immediately sent alarm bells ringing, as I knew that they had my card details already, and what are the odds that the card machine has just broke? I have since found reviews going back months stating that they were also advised that the card machine wasn't working. Unsure what to do next, I asked if I was free to leave. He said that they wouldn't charge me, but had no control over booking.com. I found this odd, but he was already ”dealing” with a couple of other complaints from guests (no hot water and no fan working), although his attitude seemed very dismissive. Now stranded in Paris, I rang booking.com to query if they would be charging me. They advised that they had no control over this, and that it would infact be up to the hotel! So the booking.com customer service agent rang the hotel, and this time he said that it was not up to him, but the ”manager”... A story he reiterated when I rang the hotel directly (by this point I was an hours walk away, in scorching heat). Booking.com said they'd email asking the manager to waive any charges owed (wording used was I was cancelling!!!). Strangely, within 15-20 minutes the reply came in that they would not be!! So I rang booking.com up again and they again spoke to the hotel, emailed the manager and told me to wait 24 hours. That's all I'll say on booking.com in this review, as that's a story for another day... With nowhere else to go, I decided to head home 2 nights earlier than expected, forking out an extra £85 in travel expenses. By the time I'd arrived back in the UK the following morning, I found that 'Jeff Hotel.VPC' had charged my credit card! How very odd that they could charge me within less than 24 hours after leaving, with apparently no working card machine!! I am waiting for the transaction to clear and will then be raising a chargeback. This hotel ruined the last couple of days of my holiday to France. The whole situation is very suspicious. This hotel is definitely one to be AVOIDED at all costs.

Hotel Panache
4.3/554 Reviews
The breakfast was ok, affordable, good quality. The room has a sense of design, but I really want the hotel staff to be very enthusiastic. When I change hotels, they also help me send my luggage to another hotel.
Maxim Opéra
4.5/557 Reviews
I spent 2 nights here for a business trip and had a very nice stay. The room was a bit small but the bed is comfortable and large. I am close to 2 meters tall and fit nicely, which is unfortunately something I don’t see in many other hotels. I appreciated the small details of the room. For example, the curtain is super long and close enough to the window in order to prevent any sunlight from coming in. The temperature is nicely regulated and I never found the room to be too hot or too cold. The staff as well were very welcoming and helpful. I dropped my credit card from my wallet by accident when taking out my room key and the staff were kind enough to inform me that they found it and leave it in my room. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its location, comfort, and staff.
Résidence Nell Paris
4.4/549 Reviews
In addition to the old facilities, health, the other is not bad. It is convenient to have a kitchen in the room. The front desk staff had a good attitude, surrounded by supermarket shops, and it was convenient to go shopping at Lafayette in the spring.
Monsieur Cadet Hotel & Spa
4.4/556 Reviews
The service is amazing. All the staff are very friendly! The breakfast is too good to miss out! Location wise, it’s in the middle of the down town area, only few minutes walk to the station which can take you anywhere. Even in the heart of Paris, the hotel room offers you a very quiet experience during your rest.

Ibis Paris Grands Boulevards Opéra 9e
4.2/580 Reviews
The location of this Hotel is what immediately attracted us to stay here - there's no denying it's in a great spot. Walking distance from the louvre and montmartre. The majority of the photos of the hotel seem to be advertising the foyer, reception and dining area which are all relatively modern and nicely decorated. However our room really wasn't great and I would have expected much more for the price of around £200 per night. We went on NYE so this may have increased the price we paid, however the 4 star trip advisor rating also was not reflected in the room. Our en suite was a wet room with a blocked shower drain that flooded the entire bathroom every time one of us took a shower. It also smelt really quite bad in the bathroom and generally didn't really feel very clean. My last gripe would be that they took £200 out of my account 7 days before I arrived at the hotel and still hasn't been returned 5 days after checking out (this is out-with the cost of the room which was paid in full on arrival). I don't believe I was told this would happen when I booked the room and this has never happened to me before so I am quite annoyed about it. I've never had any kind of 'deposit' taken from my account days before arriving at a hotel and not been given it back for further days after. Despite this the staff were very friendly and helpful and our stay wasn't impacted by the quality of room.
