Pointe Rivoli  

I have certain significant comments:1. Facility - very poor. Just several facts: 1) We selected the hotel mainly for the location and air conditioner as it was hot in Paris at the time. We paid 200 eur per night for a suit with air conditioner which was actaully not working and when we investigated, we received answer that it is always not working. 2) water runs from the washbowl in our room from the first second of our staying and seems nobody from the hotel tried to repair it. The floor of the bathroom was always wet with a lot of water. 3) The shower cap was not fixed and always fall down to our heads 4) there is only one very small and dangerous spiral stairs in the hotel, and the light on the stairs is controlled by the staff manually and sometimes thus not working during the night. 2. Staff - very rough and unpolite. Just several examples: 1) When we (both girls of 40 kg weight) reached the hotel and found the dangerous stairs, we asked the receptionist (a man of 30 - 35 years) to help us to move our bagage up to the 3rd floor, the answer was: you are quite strong to do it by yourselfs and thus we had to move the bagage from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor (on the booking web site there was no any information about the absence of lift and existence of the so dangerous stairs. 2) When we checked-out, the receptionist turned off the light (by my mind specially) on the stairs so that we had almost falled down with the bagage from the stairs and broken our legs, and did not receive any "sorry or help" for this. 3) We had some problems with the invoice, as our bank informed us previousely that the fee for the first day staying was already withdrawn from our bank account, and when we showed the sms about it to the hotel, we received the answer that we need to ask our funking "russian" bank (he said the word "funking") - Raiffeisen bank.

It was a total disaster.. It is a very unsuitable place to be considered as a hotel. It was not clean, it dose not look like the pictures, it is too small, the stairs are more like clamping on it.. They are even broken and very dangerous to use. Someone has to do something about publishing this hotel in BOOKING.com

Location was perfect. .

The hotel is so-so, specially if you have to go up 4 flight of stairs, with luggage, to get to your room. The picture on the website is the suite, don't even think it may be your room unless you specifically request it. Hotel staff is helpful

The only good thing about this hotel is it's location.

We were 4 friends travelling together ,booked 2 rooms ,4 monthes in advance!as soon as we arrived in the hotel the manager said our rooms are sold out and let us stay on the top floor!!!(after we have paid the full price for the better rooms on the second floor).This hotel has no lift and very narrow steps.It is a nightmare!No one suggested help carring our luggage+ the manager said the hotel and the city are very busy and he has no time to look for a better hotel for us! I own a hotel in Tel aviv and never ever treat my guests like that.He only took 10Euros down of the price,which stil was expensivel

Disappointing experience. Very noisy from subway. The stairs in the hotel are steep....better suited to a goat than people.

The only recommendation I can give, is look for another hotel.

When we were booking a hotel for our short stay in Paris we focused on the location and the price. Pointe Rivoli, for us was perfect as for a very reasonable price; teamed with a superb location we got our ideal accommodation. When we arrived we were greeted with lovely staff that were more than happy to assist. We stayed in a lovely bright and clean room on the 3rd floor which had beautiful French windows/doors which opened out onto a stunning view of the Rue de Rivoli. The bed was honestly one of the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in and the shower was hot and powerful. The shower cubical itself is quite small but did the job. The bathroom was clean and we had a set of fresh towels every day. We will defiantly come back to this hotel again as the location was amazing (Saint Paul's metro was a stone’s throw from the hotel) and the Marais district was breath takingly beautiful. The hotel was situated with a bar and cafe either side and there was a supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants a few doors down. We found the supermarket very handy for bottled water, chocolate, cheese, bread and wine that we enjoyed in bed after a long day of sightseeing :) .We had a perfect stay here at the Pointe Rivoli.

The Pointe Rivoli is a very old building and has only one very narrow spiral stair case that led up to each floor. We recommend that if you do stay here, you pack lightly (perhaps just hand luggage). We took a huge suitcase and did struggle a bit to climb the stairs. You do need to have a good set of legs and lungs to manoeuvre these stairs as it is tiring but, on the other hand, a very good way of burning off all the beautiful cakes and cheese that you have eaten that day! If you are sensitive to noise but are lucky enough to have a room facing the Rue de Rivoli then you may find the street slightly noisy, however, we found that we enjoyed the “hustle and bustle" of the early evening crowds and found it rather comforting.

The room was beautifully decorated and the people were really nice, aside from being at walking distance of almost every Paris landmark! If you dont mind climbing steep narrow staricases, this place is the one.

It does not have an elevator.

it was near the metro station and to many shopping centre .

first there was no elevator so if you have a lot of luggages it will be very difficult to go upstairs as the stairs are very tiny , and also if your room is a the 4th floor it will be a lot of exercises.

Affordable and well located

Very difficult winding stairs that were even worse with luggage

horrible noise from the strits. it is above the exit from metro: teribble noise from the automatic stairs. dirty bedclothes

No wi-fi all the time, too noisy,difficult to sleep, conditioner doesn't work..

The restaurant was outstanding.

Only benefit was location.

Air Conditioning unit blowing right above you provided an extremely uncomforable experience. Wi-Fi did not work well at all.
