Tonic Hotel Saint Germain des Prés

Small room, friendly staff, bath tub made it worth it

If you wish to ruin your Paris vacation, stay in this hotel. The only good think about the property is its location (close to most monuments). Drawbacks: 1. Dirty, stained carpets everywhere. 2. Sink at the other side of bathroom (to wash hands after visiting bathroom one has to navigate around the bed - not an easy task). 3. The "shower" is a large basin in the corner with a curtain that drops from the ceiling - in full view of the entire room. 4. Fire trap - in case of fire there is no way to get out of rooms in floors 2,3 and 4. 5. Unfriendly and unhelpful (almost hostile) staff. 6. The elevator stops only in mid level of all floors. To go to floor 4, you press the number 3/4 and it stops in the middle of 3 and 4, from where you have to climb up or down in a tiny and unsafe staircase. ******* should drop this property, it is only a dump. For the money we paid, we could have stayed in a good 4-star hotel nearby...

This is a nice and superbly located hotel. If you just need a base to spend as little time as possible in then this is a good option. However, it was extremely noisy at night and the room was very dark and very small - but many hotels are like that in Paris so I understood that. The staff were not very friendly and although the room was clean, there was about one sheet of toilet roll with no additional rolls. There was no water offered, and no toiletries other than shampoo. I'd recommend for the location and I am fully aware you can do a LOT worse in Paris.
