Comfort Hotel Gare De L'Est - Paris  

nice building

cold, cold and cold. The blankets were smelly.

Stuffs are so rude.They always try to make a problem for taking extra money.In the rooms there is no hair dryer,internet and tv don't work properly.

Staff at reception were friendly and helpful

Housekeeping was very poor. The housekeeper intruded privacy and insisted on cleaning the room at that particular moment or never. Our room was not made up or cleaned during our 2 days stay (despite our request when we went out). The toilet seat is poorly positioned (on the wall - parallel). We had to sit sideways on the seat

It was cheap for a city hotel and the young man on breakfast duty was very pleasant

The immediate area is rundown and a little threatening. The room was small and there was mold in the bathrom The quality of the breakfast was poor I.E. tinned ruit salad no decent fresh bread often shortages

The location was great, very near the metro station - Strasbourg which is just around the corner that you can take all around Paris. Very convenient! Another thing we liked was that there were a lot of different cultures in one neighborhood and the restaurants looked great, you could choose from a wide variety of cuisines - Turkish, Indian, Pakistani, Italian, Greek, French, among others. The room was relatively clean. The staff was mostly friendly and were ready to help out if you had a question involving location. There was free internet connection, we thought it was relatively fast.

The location is a bit scary at night especially if you're alone. The room was a bit small too and could be noisy depending on who your neighbors were coz the walls were not very thick and you can sometimes hear people going up the stairs from the window. It was also a bit dark coz one of the lights was broken and the phone was there but there was no plug on it... Just for display I guess even if it said you could make free international credit card calls. The shower was waaaaaay to small and you wouldn't wanna take a shower barefoot.

It's good for me because it's very close to the Metro line 4.

The price is still high for me.

There is bad smell from the toilet in my room and noise from the road coming to the room causing bad sleep.

The staff and the location

There was only one soccet and the window of the room was in front of the elevator so when the cleaning lady in the morning was loading the trolley with the sheets etc the noise that it was doing was very loud

Location was fabulous, walking distance to most things but also very close to the metros and Gare du Nord

Only that there was no internet to use if you didnt have a computer with you. The pay for internet computer was broken....

The two gentleman at the reception were very helpful and friendly. The reception is open 24/7 which is convenient for me. The room is comfortable and the elevator is interesting, with a lovely view.

The lady receptionist and the manager were rude and unhelpful. The receptionist called me a cab that was 20minutes away without explaining to me that I would have to pay for that. She was very rude in her handling of this matter as well. Breakfast is not included but there is great food near the hotel.

Though not in the pleasantist spot in Paris, the hotel is very coveniently located, close to a Métro station (Chateau d'Eau) on Line 4, the main North - South line. The hotel is unterestingly designed, in Art Deco style, & the common parts have attractive decorations. The desk staff are friendly & helpful; & the room service efficient.

We've stayed at this hotel before & had reasonable rooms on upper floors. But on this occasion we were in a ground floor room, which not only was very small & cramped, but had hardly any natural light. Also, the bathroom washbasin tap was very hard to regulate; & there was no English language channel on the TV (though there were German, Spanish & Portguese channels).

Real close to Metro station....we used once. Purpose was to stay close to Gare De :'Est so we could drop off our luggage and go.....and depart the same way. Much nicer than friends; hotel that was just across the street from the train station for the same price.....so worth the walk. [However, breakfast is an extra charge....so it does cost a little more.....but worth it.]

Small room.
