I arrived early in the day and was allowed an early check-in and given a complementary room upgrade. To get to my room I was led up a private staircase off the lobby. Room 101 was unique and whimsical with a private lanai. The location of the hotel was perfect just a short 15 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame. The staff was helpful and offered wonderful restaurant recommendations during my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Paris.

I called to ask for 2 additional half pillows and they said I could not get extra pillows. So I asked if I could pay for 2 additional half pillows. They said no. But then a manager was called and allowed me to borrow one half pillow. The lobby smelled like poo when we got there. Fortunately, I became nose blind after a little while. Also the thermostat in the room was locked at 24°C. I did call to ask for it to be unlocked. The nearby town is lovely and quiet. It is 1hr 30min to get to Paris by public transportation. Housekeeping did try to come into my room several times, but in their defense I could not find the do not disturb sign to hang on the door and I should have asked for one. If you like pillows, stay somewhere else!

The fish tank in the lobby and the swimming pool made up for the horrendous day at the airport according to my 3-year-old.

They did mess up our room service order and after an hour we discovered they delivered it to an empty and open room next door and it had been eaten?? Bizarre, but it was the only thing that went wrong here after a day where literally everything else had gone wrong. This is a good place to stay for a night if you're defining with airline things.

In fact, Charles de Gaulle airport is only a 45 minute train ride away by RER. The hotel is located on a quiet street. We didn't hear any noise at night which is partly due to a wonderfully insulated window. After a long day of touring, it's so nice to come back to our hotel and walk a block to the magnificent Jardin de Luxembourg to rest our weary feet. All of the staff was very welcoming and ready to answer any questions you might have. A special thank you goes out to Sandy, who helped us negotiate a ticklish situation with an angry taxi cab driver. The Elysa shas a very high standard of cleanliness, and the rooms are cleaned every day. Cleanliness is probably most important to us. We loved the design of the room, which, by American standards is small, but that is to be expected. The bathroom was modern and clean and the shower had great water pressure.. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Two twin beds were pushed together to create a queen and it worked very well. Students from the Sorbonne and other schools add a nice energy to the area make it an ideal location. There are brasseries,cafés, and restaurants in the immediate area. I know this will be our "go to" place the next time we visit Paris.

The neighborhood is safe and has many wonderful shops and charming French restaurants. Front desk is manned 24 hours. The building itself is iconic Paris about 7 stories tall. Rooms are and clean but plainly furnished. Beds and pillows are super comfortable and shower is great. Breakfast in the morning is fantastic. Our room, 504, had wrap around balconies and I have posted three pics from the balconies, including a view of the Eiffel Tower which was gorgeous lit up at night. Price was very good. Front desk staff is very helpful and are glad to help with advance tickets to museums, car services, reservations, anything. Here are the drawbacks. The hotel is going through extensive reservations expected to be completed by summer 2019. So, there is work being done during standard work hours. That also means paper on the floor to protect carpets in the hall and bare newly plastered walls in the hallway while they wait to redecorate. The elevator is tiny so plan on waiting patiently if you are on an upper floor. Some items in the room needed fixing (personal safe and a window handle) but once we told the front staff, they were taken care of. Front entrance and lobby are a little plain but I assume they will get a facelift after the room renovations are completed.

We know the gate du Nord neighborhood can be crowded and a bit sketchy. We chose this hotel because it is behind the station.

The room is small with one bed and a desk. The bathroom is modern. The water very hot with good pressure. The windows actually open. For $98 it's a deal.

This came as part of a Great Value Vacations package deal and we stayed for 3 nights. We decided to do the cheesy hop on/hop off tour bus, and the stop was just in front of the train station, down the street. So we got to see all of the Paris attractions we wanted without having to taxi or Uber. The room was on the smaller side, but fine. Very modern and clean décor. I liked turning on the French cartoons for background noise! Most of the staff spoke English, they gave me an American hair dryer when I didn't understand how to use the one in my room. The bar is also open 24/7, and they had room service available. Complimentary breakfast buffet was included in the room rate, and had a wonderful variety of croissants (don't miss the chocolate croissant!) freshly squeezed juices, including carrot and tomato, cheese and charcuterie, blinis, eggs you can boil yourself, and the cutest little oatmeal topping bar, including dried fruits and crushed Speculoos. My only complaint was that every day, the cleaning lady knocked on our door ass early in the morning, waking us up (we always had the Privacy sign out) and insisted on cleaning the room. There was a bit of a language barrier, but was very pushy and didn't want to take "no" for an answer. Maybe she was required to make sure the rooms were clean, but I just wanted to be left alone. The second day, she walked in and said something along the lines of "just the bathroom." We had a full day plan and had to wait for her to finish, as we never like leaving with someone else in the room. We were also still getting dressed and had to open the bathroom door to block off the rest of the room for privacy. It was a little invasive and the "Privacy" sign wasn't really good for anything.

From the moment we checked in, Eric, who happened to be running the front desk every day while we were there, was very kind, patient, and helpful. The rooms were updated a couple years ago and we found them comfortable with adequate space by Paris standards. Breakfast was included with our stay and, although the offerings were fairly limited, we enjoyed the croissants, cappuccinos, cheeses, cereals, juices, yoghurts, and more. We also liked that they had a water filling station. It would have nice to have some more fresh fruit options but it was fine. The gentleman running the breakfast was hardworking, friendly, and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

Rooms were clean enough, but not much in the way of space. Showers have a glass wall but not a full door so be careful when you shower otherwise the floor will get very wet. There is a hair dryer but it sounds more like a vacuum. Walls are thin so be mindful of how much noise you make and maybe bring some earplugs for the noise you can't control. Closest metro is about a 10 minute walk, but Uber will pick up and drop off at the front door. Make sure you bring your own power outlet adapter because if you're not from Europe you're going to need it. Staff is friendly and helpful with answering questions or getting you what you need. If you need something put in a safe they can do that for a fee.
