Hôtel D'angleterre Étoile

Location was good, and staff was friendly. The staff got us fans for the rooms that were unbearably hot due to unexpected heat in Paris.

Important for US patrons to know that 1st floor does not mean ground floor. The steps were very narrow and steep, and there is no elevator. There were not enough towels. There were no screens on the windows, and there is no privacy. You can see into others' rooms, and you can hear others through the windows. The bathrooms are so tiny you can't even change in them. There is no room to walk around the beds and also have open suitcases on the floor. There was a hotel right next door with air conditioning, elevators, breakfast, and more luxuries for the exact price. They led us to believe we didn't have steps, and wouldn't allow us to cancel once we realized there were steps. My mother has difficulty walking them, and that was inconsequential to them. Way overpriced.

Good location

The rooms are not air conditioned, and the hotel is on a busy road, so you had to choose between roasting or being unable to sleep. Our fan was broken and there was no replacement available. Rooms are small. Bathroom poorly lit and the bath was too small to relax in. Carpet was not clean, and our door had to be forced open each day because the the lock stuck.

Bed was comfortable

Very small and very cramped for 2 people. No facilities except for electricity and a small bathroom....no aircon and no fixed ceiling fan...if you’re hot you will need to beg a portable fan off reception! If you’re travelling with two or more medium sized suitcases don’t stay here...there is no room to put them unless you move the rooms two small stools to the top of the open clothes locker like we did, and even then we barked our ankles on the bags every time we moved to the bathroom! This venue boasts the smallest capacity lift I’ve ever seen and there is no landing at any of the floors...you access and leave the lift half way up the tight, semi circular stairs between each floor straight onto the stairs....Like I said...No Landing! And damn dangerous! Note...Beware the hot water coming from the shower and the bathroom tap!! My wife scalded herself n the shower when she inadvertently moved the water mix tap.....the hot water is in fact boiling hot to the point we used it straight from the tap to make a cup of tea (in our own cups...none are provided) As no fridge is provided you will not get a cold drink in the room, nor any ice if you’re looking to make a cold drink. Oh, by the way, the road noise outside the building is very loud until the very early hours of the morning, so you will probably want to keep them closed so you can sleep....that’s where the fan comes in!! Over all, when you look at the absolutely exorbitant room rate this venue charges for just a bed, a bathroom and lights you will be much better off finding some place more accomodating that offers some measure of facilities.
