Hôtel Elixir

Where to begin. Normally I do not even take the time to leave reviews but this time I felt I needed to. First, there were protests all surrounding the hotel that have been going on for quite some time.While this is really not that big of a deal it would have been nice to at least been notified by the hotel that these were taking place so that we were aware. We were unable to have our taxi drop us off so had to walk over 5 blocks dragging all of our luggage. Additionally, while the protests were peaceful, and as someone who travels often and has encountered this type of thing understood this, had I been someone encountering this type of thing for the first time it could have been a very unsettling situation. The hotel should definitely notify guests of the situation Now, lets talk about the check in and stay. When we checked in, after our unexpected walk pulling luggage through the city, we arrived to our room which was NOT what we had reserved. It was a tiny, tiny, tiny, double with one bed. I had booked a large double, with two beds, and even pre paid to gaurantee this. The solution was to move us to a triple, then have us repack and move again in the morning. When we moved to the room for the first night there was already someones luggage there. The hotel just moved it out to another room but this left us unsettled wondering if someone now had a key to this room they thought was theirs and would be coming in. With only 50 characters left all I can say is look elsewhere.

Most pleasant, quality experience. Central to Paris tourism.

The room and hotel was comfortable. The location is it’s strong point. The issue we had was that there is only one person on duty during the day and evening. We returned to the hotel one evening at 10:30 pm, to be joined by other guests, and we were unable to get into the hotel. The front door was locked. The attendant was no where to be found. There was a button to push on the outside but it did nothing. A guest of the hotel that appeared in the lobby found a way to open the door. The following morning we brought this to the attention of the day attendant. She became indignant saying she had told us when we checked in that there was only one evening attendant and if he was called away from the front desk that we would have to be patient until he returned. She never did mention this. Let it be said that we and the other guests were waiting twenty minutes before we were able to gain entry. This also seemed to be a situation if there was an emergency how would we get out?

What a perfectly located hotel with everything we needed. Amazing and helpful staff. Thank you.

Excellent

This was a reasonably priced hotel in the middle of everything. Centrally located within walking distance to shops and cafes. One of the few hotels in Paris that is air conditioned.

This hotel was in a nice location with easy access to the Metro. Our room had a big tub with a hand shower, but not a stand up shower, which was fine but not exactly what I expected. We only stayed one night so it was no big deal. Nice wood floors and modern decor.

Excellent value for money. Great central location with easy access to Metro. Andrei(sp?) was particularly friendly and helpful. Only strange thing was that there wasn’t anywhere to hang your towels in the bathroom. I used the knobs on the door.

Amazing location with plenty of restaurants to choose from really close by. Metro station just a few moments up the road. Room really comfortable and clean, and the staff very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Would certainly stay here again!!

Great location. Stay was okay not great. Housekeeping could use improvement. However, because of location would stay here again. Try Roba Siera just down the rue for lunch and dinner - great pastries on the corner.
