We absolutely loved our stay a Le Grey.
The hotel is situated near the Place de Clichy metro station and very close (about 5 mins walk) from Moulin Rouge. My impression of this neighborhood - not extremely touristy, a little off the beaten path, but close to everything. Very easy to find shops and restaurants. Fantastic place to stroll the city -- which is the best way to experience Paris!
Prior to our arrival, the hotel communicated with us via email to confirm all the details of our reservation, which was made online. They knew from my online booking that I preferred a room with a balcony and so they offered me two options and guaranteed my selection for me. All before my arrival - fantastic!
Upon arrival, we checked in to the hotel with no issues. The hotel was about a 15-20 min taxi ride from Gare du Nord (rainy night) - I think we waited longer in the taxi line at the train station than it took us to drive to the hotel.
The lobby of the hotel decorated with lots of modern touches in a fabulous grey color and accent pieces throughout. They offer complimentary afternoon coffee and pastries (typically left over from the morning breakfast).
Our room/chambre was 52 - with the balcony - and it was absolutely charming. Incredibly comfortable bed (queen size) with a sofa and nice size bathroom. I absolutely fell in love with the shower and towel warmer!
The WiFi in the room was absolutely sufficient for what we needed. You receive a unique passcode per device when you arrive --- we needed 4 total and they had no issue with it -- and no extra charge.
We did not pay extra for breakfast to be included in our room. Instead, we opted to venture out for coffee each morning and begin our stroll around.
This was our first stay at Le Grey, but will not be our last. read more
