Hotels near Vla Santos-Dumont, Paris

I have just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel and I can honestly say the staff couldn’t do anymore to help you out flight home was delayed by a day and the lady on reception was quick to help us sort another night in the hotel, the bed was extremely comfy and the room was clean. Although the rooms are basic it was exactly what I would expect for the cost per night it was perfect for our stay in Paris as you spend so little time in the room it was a great base for us with easy routes to public transport I would definitely stay here again

The first time in Paris to #laragazza with the wallet is to give you a card and I have to say super recommended hotel. Super breakfast provided and very gentle staff. We don't talk about the location, in just 5 minutes you are at the tram stop, bus and not least the Metro you know in Paris, is the fastest means 😉 if I return to Paris would certainly be a reference point.

The hotel was mostly clean, the furniture was ok, the bathroom was clean. The receptionist was very rude. Me and my friend were standing in front of the closed door with our suitcases. He saw us, unlocked the door and immediately returned to his desk. He did not even open the door for us and our very heavy suitcases. The extremely small and outdated lift did not reach all the way to our floor, so we had to carry our heavy suitcases the rest of the stairs. When we came into the room, it was so tiny that we could not open our suitcases fully or walk around the bed next to each other. One person always had to wait in one corner of the room while the other person moved around. The tap in the bathroom was constantly dropping, when we entered the room the sink in the bathroom was filled with water and there was no way to empty it because the drain was firmly closed. We called the receptionist, he said he would have someone over to fix it in the morning and until then we could use the sink without any problems as it would not overflow because of the other drain (a bit higher in the sink). We said that would not be acceptable (especially as we only stayed one night) and asked if he had another room. He said the hotel was fully booked. He then came with a screwdriver and tried to fix the sink himself. He finally removed the drain plug and the water could flow out of the sink again. He left it like that. We asked about some small compensation, he said no. Furthermore, the area was very shady with a military police operation happening next door as we arrived around 21:30 in the evening. The door of the bathroom was partially cracked and unfortunately the room door could not be locked from the inside. I will never stay in this hotel again.

I thoroughly recommend this hotel. Is it a great location? Extremely safe. The hotel staff went out of their way. They were totally awesome. I can’t say enough good things about all of it. It was quiet. Close to the Eiffel Tower and the seine river cruises. I enjoyed my stay there very much and so if you’re in Paris and you would like a really great hotel, this would be the one to go to.

The apartment rented by a family studying in France is close to the hotel. The room is very small. The bathroom is not isolated from the bedroom. If two people live, they will get up in the middle of the night and the other will be affected. There is no water heater, but the capsule coffee machine is good. The room No. 11 has a separate small balcony, which is very comfortable. I originally planned to come back from South France to book this place, but I felt uncomfortable after staying for one night. I decided to cancel the original order and change the hotel.

I have tried to base my review on the factors which the hotel (hostel) does have control of and ignore the views of other guests. The staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful speaking fluent English. We got some free towels (normally chargeable) and a room to store our luggage on our last day. The public areas are clean and tidy with a classy uniform wallpaper design throughout. We didn’t take any food instead opting to use the nearby Lidl for croissants and baggets although I think it was an option. The rooms were small with a sink, blackout blind, opening window, functional bed and an uncontrollable vent. There were four showers and three toilets per floor for communal use. The flat roof outside the window was strewn with rubbish (condom packet one of the more unpleasant), the bed was comfortable without being anything more there was no mattress protector (so I can understand the basis for other reviews) and the vent was continuously noisy - good job we were tired! The showers were clean and powerful if not a little too hot, the toilets however were often reduced to one as they were blocked and unsanitary. The area outside is the bottom end of pooville (I can’t use other language) arriving my heart sank although I was aware the outskirts of Paris are often questionable for tourists, it isn’t an area I’d want to be alone in at night. The reason for us booking here was the availability of a car park. The parking is two basement levels immediately below the hostel (not clear on booking) accessible by foot through a number of (broken) QR code security doors with nobody answering the intercom. The car exit had a metal gate and the entry a barrier so overall I guess very secure! but it is disgusting which doesn’t give you a feeling of security. Leaking pipes and a stench of urine in the stairwell complemented with walls covered in I don’t want to know what! It’s not luxury, it’s functional. You are in an (expensive) capital city and you pretty much get what you pay for, you’ve got to adjust your expectations. It was a good base for our two day trip in the city via a twenty minute metro ride.

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.

My husband and I stayed in a Superior Double Room for two days at the beginning of March. We had a wonderful view of the park and the Eiffel Tower. The room is beautiful to look at, but a little damaged in some parts (for example the shower). The biggest problem of the room was the ventilation system, as it smelled of the drain several times. The cleaner does her job, as she cleans the room daily, but the problem is exclusively ventilation. I might also point out that you can hear the chairs being moved in the bar in the room. I would also suggest that a different choice of breakfast be made every day, as it was the same breakfast twice. However, I would like to conclude by praising the staff, who were friendly at all times.

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.
