Hotels near Place Sainte-Catherine, Paris

Avoid this hotel at any cost! Made a reservation for my 4 nights trip via **********, a double standard room via bookings and whilst upon arriving the front desk staff hade a not so welcoming attitude. Got my room key, paid the taxes and went upstairs. It was the worst I’ve ever seen. The room they provided me with should not be called a room, it was their single standard room. Tiniest you can imagine and a modular wc/shower/basin module in 3 parts located in the hallway. A 140 bed which was the biggest area in the room and that area only fitted the bed. A window with a wall just infront of half the window, and not a view of anything more than the that part of the wall and the building infront. No air ventilation and they could not provide a fan. Went downstairs to inform them about the reservation and the rude staff said that i’ve booked the room they gave me the single standard, show. Despite the confirmation he insisted that i had the right room and that the images was only for marketing. Which is misleading. They said i could pay extra for an upgrade. Went down to ask bout the upgrade and to see the other room, which was the room ive booked. Went down to confirm that ill take that room for 13 euros extra per night, then the other night shift agent tried to make a deal by saying; i like you and give you the room for 20 dollars instead of 30euros per night! So they tried to get more money out for me for a room id already paid for. Had it there, called ********** who didnt help me what so ever despite they could see my reservation, and told them to check pics and videos of the room i got, and could prove the mistake. No actions from ********** The bed was done, but not dont think the sheets had been changed. Several medium/long blackhairs all over the places in bed and under pillows.. the pillows and sheets also smelled like someone had threw up in bed. Informed bout this and took pictures, yet with their ignorance and rudeness they said that the sheets had been changed. Some prob. Had good experience but I didnt and i do not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you dont care about hospitality and what you get for what you paid for. Fyi, i did change the hotel the day after. Did not spend more than a night, total 6 hours at the hotel..my experience was that bad! And the staff the day after could not even take my feedback regarding his attitude the day i checked in. Yet this i did not let this ruin my image of Paris, cause that hotel is not Paris.

Very Good service, nice breakfast,, but small rooms and baths that should be renovated

We stayed 4 nights in this quiet,lovely hotel. Excellent location for Gare de Lyon station, and close proximity to variety of restaurants. Our room was small, but clean, with very comfortable bed. We walked miles each day, so we appreciated the fitful sleep we had each night.(fyi- we used this hotel also as our home base to attend the Paris Saint Germain vs Olympic M****ille game while we were in Paris. It was an easy walk to Gare Austerlitz station to catch train to Parcs des Princes Stadium. Lots of restaurants within walking distance of the Parcs des Princes Stadium, approximately 10-15 min stroll depending upon how fast you walk. You'll notice lots of PSG fans in the neighbourhood of the Stadium prior to kick-off having a quick meal). The only minor criticism we had of Hotel Aurore was that we had asked that our safety deposit box in our room #403 be fixed (as the safety deposit box door was locked shut upon our arrival, and needed a technician to reopen it for our personal use) however, no one fixed the problem after we asked politely each morning of our 4 night stay. Therefore, we never had use of the safety deposit box. Disappointing, but otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

We had great time in this hotel thanks for the super convenient location, discounts for the restaurant next door, coupon for Lafayette, and many nice people here. Also wanna thank the friendly and patient receptionist Jonah who did a very great for our trip, helping us to look for any recommendations restaurants in Paris and translate for us. Although the toilet leaking at last day but it was a good experience. Merci beaucoop

Hotel very well located very close to the metro. We took a room with 2 double beds for 2 adults and 2 children. The room was extremely quiet as it overlooked an interior courtyard. Small flaw because you have to find one, the bathroom shower toilet is very small and you can't fit two people there. The welcome is very warm and everything is very clean.

I don't expect luxury from a hostel, but I do expect cleanliness. On the surface the hostel appears clean. Most importantly, the bed sheets and mattress are clean. However, look beyond that and you'll see it's filthy and obviously never given a deep clean. Down the side of the lower bunk there is what must be months and months of rotten food, old socks, dirt and dust that has been allowed to collect. No wonder the room smells so musty and stuffy. My bunk had blood streaks from a squashed bug (and live mosquitoes flying about), as well as sticky finger prints all over the bed panels and window. Furthermore, the noise level is crazy. I understand on a Friday people want to party so the bar was blasting out music and the 1st floor rooms are not sound proof - I actually didn't mind that. What annoyed me was the fact that they were blasting music through the speakers in the 1st floor toilet/shower rooms. WHY?! This made the room and hallways even noisier. Its only saving grace is the location (and free wi-fi). It can feel a bit dodgy walking through there alone as a single woman at night, but so can any big city... The hostel is close to some great bars, restaurants, and tourist attractions (Père Lachaise Cemetery, for example). I'd recommend hiring a bike to get around - there's quite a few Vélib' bike stations a short walk away.

First things first, there effectively is no Lennon Hotel. There is no reception there and no breakfast room. Everything from the administration on is done through the Avalon Hotel next door so, make the assumption that you are going to the Avalon and you will not get lost or confused. The decor is both dated and modern at the same time. I would say, typically French so I am glad they didn't go all chain hotel and boring. The Bedroom - The choice of furniture I would question. In some pictures you can see what looks like a coat rack. This is the 'wardrobe' in the room. There are 6 hooks which may or may not have 6 hangers. Beneath that could well be a full size laptop safe (free to use) and under that, what I would have used as the shoe shelf. There really isn't anywhere for smaller items at all, they likely will stay in your luggage. With the lighting it's either bright or very bright so, there wasn't really an option to have it dimly lit though there are a selection of ceiling light, wall lamps and table lamps, they are all bright. Our room (100) was not a king size bed, I feel 4' 6” as it was certainly smaller than we are used to. In many pictures it shows the white bed pillows supplemented by small blue (green) ones. This is certainly not the case with every room. The Bathroom - I can but speak for our room as I understand other rooms have different configurations. We had a walk in shower with a rain shower head and a hand held spray adjusted using ornate handles. The toilet was on the wall. I personally don't like those, I feel incredibly unsafe especially when they creak like this one did when sat on. To make it worse, we're only 5' 3” and it's just too high, we felt like 5 year olds in need of a step stall. I wondered if this might not be aimed at wheelchair users as I am disabled but I do not use a chair but a mobility scooter (which there was plenty of room for). Then I consider the sink which is high up, too high for a wheelchair user. Of course, there is no chair in the shower either so, if it is meant to be an accessible room, it kind of isn't. The walls are done in tiles. Very mismatched tiles, not sure whether that was intentional or just years of different repairs and replacements. I feel that the light blue small square tiles were original but that when the shower, toilet and sink were last done they were not replicable so got replaced with blue rectangle tiles. The floor tiles are probably original but very worn and though they may have been, I never felt they were clean. Being a walk in shower the water got everywhere and the floor remained wet all night so we kept a towel on the floor by the door. Us British might find it weird to see a hairdryer in the bathroom right next to the sink, I think a plug socket too! The large round mirror was supposed to light up with a touch switch but, we never got it to work. The water pressure was though very good and combined shower gel/shampoo is provided as are ample towels which are s

The hotel is in a really nice position very close to the metro station of Jaurès that can get you basically everywhere. The place was clean and there is the chance to leave there your luggage if you come to early for check in or if you need to leave it after check out. That earns the 2 stars in my review. Unfortunately this was probably my worst experience in a hotel. Checking in I was told that we got an upgrade and, instead of our view on the city we got what is supposedly a better room facing an internal wall. I must say that I am not sure if that was really an upgrade because it didn't feel like it - and this makes me wonder what would have been a regular room. Rooms are poorly insulated and I could hear perfectly what was going on in the rooms next to our. The cleaning was good, but unfortunately the cleaning lady forgot to close our door and, when we came back to the hotel in the late afternoon, we found the door open. The only answer we got when we reported the issue was ”oh, that's not good” - indeed it isn't. Growing up in a similar business I have been taught to do what it take to make happy your guests and I found odd that I couldn't get a couple of spoons when I asked for them (”breakfast is closed now so we don't have spoons”). All in all, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The price doesn't match the service.

Absolutely perfect- beyond perfect! I cried when we left. We’ve been to Paris a few times and stayed in the area, and love it, but this was our first time with kids. We had ‘The Room’ that is used on the photos and it really really is like that. That view! The place had a great vibe, with staff and other guests being warm and welcoming. We loved the shared fridge and kitchen- perfect for our kids who will only eat cereal for breakfast! The location is perfect. Right next to a lovely play area for kids, Anvers metro station is outside and the Sunday street market that filled then boulevard was great! The room was lovely- very nicely decorated and the kids loved the bunbeds. Loved sitting on our little balcony and enjoying that view. I can’t even write how perfect our stay was. I’ve never seen Paris look so beautiful and we can’t wait to return.
