Hotels near Square Henri Karcher, Paris

We stayed here with family (Cooper family, 16-18 September) in September. We prepaid. The hotel wrongly charged us again on departure. I’ve been writing several times and have been completely ignored. We were served by Nawal. We have written to Miriam Arpinon, Zohra Atek, and the manager - as Nawal suggested. We have still not received the correct refund - as explained in our emails and even though we have sent evidence we are being ignored. We request a reply and some compensation please.

I stayed here for two nights. Close to the tram, with a metro station in front of the door, and shops within a radius of 100m. The room was spacious, bright and clean, as was the bathroom (bathroom with a big window, luxury!). The staff are welcoming and ready to help. There is an iron luggage locker. I will come back during the next stay! Thank you!

good breakfast, the location is not so safe. i live there three night as solo male traveller. the neighbourhood does not feel safe.

Considering the price, I did not expect much, but the hotel proved to be not to bad at all. The staff at the reception was absolutely friendly and the hotel was clean. Also, the rooms were clean. I thought that I had to bring my own toweld and take care of my own bedding, but this was not the case (I might have been given an upgraded room?). What was especially convenient was the possability to use one of the microwaves and to use the drinking water which saved me from buying bottles. With the microwave I made my evening tea. I was initially concerned with the absence of airconditioning, but this was not a problem at all. It was about 25 degree during the day, and it was possible to leave open the window at night. Public transport is nearby (but is not accessable for wheelchairs, strollers etc).

It was so good experiance for us, Actualy we have stayed one year ago on this hotel and we found all is well again even employes! Conguratilation to hotel managment. I am strongly advising this hotel.

Rooms are smaller than small. Carpet on the floor is disgusting. Bathroom needs renovation. Air in rooms is very, very dry! ”Clean” is a word, noone knows in this building. Breakfast is ok, dont eat the scrambled ”eggs”. Check in was fast. They don´t speak English, except the Check-In-Lady.

I was just there and tried to make a booking for tomorrow night. I’m staying nearby and have to extend, but my hotel is booked. When I first walked in, the young woman at the desk barely acknowledged me. She glanced up and barely said “yes? Then looked back down. Meanwhile both she and the older man working with her were super warm and friendly to the older white man who was in line right in front of me. I waited after he left and again, the woman went “yeah.” I waited. She finally stopped what she was doing, and mumbled “good evening,” I politely greeted her back, then asked about pricing. Long story short both employees were just rude and dismissive the whole interaction. The old guy told me to book online when I was standing right there. I said I’d like to just book there and he told me “well you’ll need an ID and bank card,” but he said it like he was saying I’d need a million dollars. It was weird. I almost went next door to get my stuff, but I changed my mind. Not sure if it was racism or what, but I’ve never seen hotel staff behave that way when a person is trying to give them business. They didn’t seem like they wanted me to stay there. I need a room for tomorrow night, but I will find another place to stay. Even if I have to pay much more, I’m not going back there. Employees like those ones make hotels lose money. They’re a liability. How can someone be working the night shift at a budget hotel in Bagnolet and snubbing potential guests? The audacity… Just be nice. It’s not that hard. On top of all that, the hotel is not in a good area at all. I’ve attached photos.

The hotel is a bit old around the corridors and walkways! its working on renovating but once inside the room it is nice and clean so wasnt too fussy on it! Great location, safe and easy accessible to tourist sights and shopping. Front desk was also very helpful so overall would recommend it just the hotel needs to work on finishing its renovation so it looks newer!

We stayed at GW for two nights. Montparnasse station and Danfer Rochelow station are about 13 minutes walk. Since the airport bus departing and arriving at Montparnasse station is gone, it is very convenient to be able to go to the airport without changing by RER from Danfer Rochelow station. The subway is about 8 minutes from Gete Station. Since it is a hotel on a big street, the surroundings are bright and you are not afraid to walk at night. Moreover, it is quiet at night. It is convenient because the monoprix grocery store near Montparnasse station is open until 23:40. One of the male staff at the front desk was surprised that he was good at Japanese. In addition, he was very kind. Breakfast is served with baguettes and petit size croissants, pan o chocolate, pan orezan in a basket. The baguette was delicious. Drinks can be served in a pot with coffee, tea or chocolate. Orange juice is also available. Then there are a few kinds of shelves of Financier, yogurt, jam and cheese. I thought I would go out to eat if breakfast was too much, but it was enough. Due to the depreciation of the yen, the hotel in Paris for the first time in 4 years was very expensive, and I was worried about where to stay, but I chose this place and it was the correct answer. There is a classic elevator and the rooms are large enough. There is no refrigerator in the room, but it was a very good hotel considering the price.

I stayed at this hotel for four weeks in June and July. My experience here was disappointing, starting from the moment that I checked in. My reservation stated that fees and taxes were included and the final amount to be paid at the hotel was shown. I reserved “connecting studios for 4 people” and I was charged an extra 210 Euros at check-in without being told. When I questioned this later, I was told that there is a tax of $2.50 per person per night and the reservation amount only included this tax for one person, so I was charged for the other 3 people at check-in. However, I was still overcharged. One person was under 18 and should not have been charged at all. Another person was leaving early. I was able to eventually get a partial refund because of this. When I chose this hotel, I was looking for one that had air conditioning, and this feature is stated on the website for the hotel. When we arrived, it was very hot in both rooms and the temperature cannot be adjusted in the room. When I tried to get the air conditioning fixed, I was told that the temperature cannot be decreased under 26 degrees Celsius (78.8 Fahrenheit). The temperature cannot be controlled from the room. Most of the time, it seemed that the A/C wasn’t even on, and I was so hot that I was sweating. I did notice that the temperature in the lobby was always much cooler than in our rooms though. If you are looking for a hotel with air conditioning, you won’t be comfortable here. The customer service varied greatly depending on who was at the front desk. Some people were great and some definitely were not. The rooms are only cleaned once per week, but I didn’t mind that. The hotel uses thin, papery mattress covers that seem to be disposable and continually slip off of the mattress. I found myself constantly trying to put the mattress covers and sheets back in place to avoid sleeping on the bare mattress. The covers tear very easily, which made it difficult. This was very annoying. Overall, our stay wasn’t horrible, but we didn’t enjoy this hotel and were happy to check out. I won’t stay here the next time that I am in Paris for an extended stay.
