Hotel berhampiran Fresque ＂portrait Sépia＂, Paris

Great hotel experience. All front desk staff were very helpful. The room is specious. Acoustic’s quiet and bedding most comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near metro stations and restaurants. The breakfast offerings were terrific. Will come back for sure if in Paris.

A genuine French and retro fusion hotel. Most clientelle seemed to be French, a couple of American accents heard too. Staff spoke good English and helped coach me with my clumsy French! Felt a bit dizzy walking down black and white chequered hallway to the room. Room itself was small but no surprise given pics and room dimensions on their website. A few loose bits e.g. wall panelling and a plug socket. Nice pipework art around the TV too! Not a lot of storage, but small seating area very versatile. Good size bathroom and shower, toilet surprisingly high off the ground! Comfortable beds, even though we asked for double but was just two singles pushed together and not made up as a double (shhets/duvet), hence only 4 stars. Fair selection of restaurants across the road, but well worth heading across the science park to the rear and wandering down the canal towards more bars and eateries. Some reviews suggest this is a rough area but people out and about seemed decent enough and we felt pretty safe. Just far out of the city to feel less tourist-y. Breakfast was good, selection of cold meats, cheeses, cereal, pastries.. although fruit salad kept running low and slow to replace (my partner's favourite) We mostly walked into the city, pretty sore feet by end of our short break, but transport links are good too and metro station is close by. Would certainly consider this hotel again if coming back to Paris.

The hotel is located a bit far from the center, about 50 minutes by public transport. I chose the hotel based on reviews and photos on booking. I was expecting a beautiful view from the window, but what I got was this. I attached a photo from the site and mine. I was very disappointed.

Clean room. Heater was working, so no problems with cold. Good services. Well connected by metro with the center of the city.

I booked for a 4-beds dorm and finally I slept in the 3rd night in a 5 persons dorm and the reception made very unprofessional excuses about this issue. Moreover, I did a *********** complaint and BOOKING Customer Service apologized for this inconvenient and this establishment did not at all apologize for the rudeness and insults I received for the same receptionist that made a big mistake to put an extra person in the dorm when he wasn't allow to do that. He has written me through *********** telling me to come back to the reception when I confirmed that I was leaving in the morning and still not apologize. He assured me to cancel the next reservation with no fees and 13 hours later I am still waiting for my cancellation confirmation and some apologies for the rudeness and insult I received because I was making my right to complain for the dirt and noise in that hostel. Instead he told me via *********** to come back to the reception in order to change room and pay the prolongation. ***? I was talking with another guests in that hostel and they coincide not to have received good customer service. This place was horrible and staff is very dishonest!

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

Great value hotel, room was basic but clean and beds were comfortable, room suited me and my son ideally. Booking was easy, check in was smooth and staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Surrounding area was a bit rough around flea Market but we didn't have any hassle

Me and my friend booked three nights here over the weekend. The hotel staff were lovely and helpful during our stay. Breakfast was as described (a simple continental). Good wifi was available, room was a decent size, bed was comfy, good shower water pressure although it was slightly too short for anyone over 5’6 but we coped. Cleaner came every day but did leave the window wide open and we were on the first floor facing the front so not quite safe. Area itself is nice in the day but at night we felt unsafe as two young women so opted to stay at the hotel as it got dark. During most of our stay, electricity was fine but twice it did go out in the plug sockets for a few minutes so we couldn’t charge or use any appliances. Overall, we got what we paid for and it was a good budget holiday and would recommend if you’re not looking to spend loads.
