Chose Le Kleber for its central location…read more
First, the good. Right on Place Kleber and at an intersection of the major tram lines, so easy to get to from the train station. Indeed the location was fantastic. Staff was very nice and spoke English and French.
The bad: Everthing else. Since the hotel is right next to the tram lines, you can hear (and feel) the trams rumble by all day and night. The room was very small with no room to put our suitcases, small tables, and only 6" from the bed to the wall. I had to put suitcase on the bed then store it behind the door. Our room was painted a hideous bordello red. My room looked nothing like the hotel photos which were probably professionally done.
The bathroom was oddly shaped, with the toilet at an 45' angle making it difficult to use. For men, you had to hold the toilet seat up to go #1. No late check out and you had to pay to store bags.
Of the 6 places we stayed on this trip, Le Kleber was by far the worst. Talked to another couple after checkout and they had the same experience. On top of being expensive, they wanted another $55 for breakfast. No thanks. Felt nickel-and-dimed for everything. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Would never stay here again. 1* hotel experience at 4* prices.
