We did a lot of research on the hotels in Paris. The ones that are close to the Eiffel Tower are very expensive and vintage (aka: old). There are a lot of negative reviews on many hotels from trip advisor.ca, people complained about huge spiders, bed bugs and dirty rooms, etc. After careful considerations, we picked Le citizen hotel.
Le Citizen hotel:
- near the Canal St. Martin (very quiet and peaceful, yet it was very hard for taxi drivers to find)
- one of the top ranking hotels from Tripadvisor
- super clean from traveller's photos (I love looking at traveller's photos as the hotel's photos are usually deceiving
- breakfast and minibar are included: freshly made scramble eggs, freshly made special coffee drink..yummy pastry..etc etc
- the staff were the nicest and most helpful people I had met in Paris
- excellent services - Excellent website to provide all the info you need
- I booked their private car to pick us up from train station. only 15 Euro
- They answered their emails promptly
- 10 minutes walk to the metro
- Window faces the Canal St. Martin
- Offered iPad at no cost for us to use in every room
- They sold their own (Le citizen) stamps! So I could mail out the postcards!
- There's always a person at the front desk to open door for you even you go back to the hotel late. None of them would frown at you when you get back to the hotel late (apparently some other hotels' staff do)
- On our last day, we booked a private car & driver to airport, the front desk kindly found another couple that would split the taxi bill with us.....60 Euro -> 30 Euro! Awesome
- Staff spoke perfect English (sounded like American English to me)
- Comfortable bed.....
- We love this hotel....but Price was a little $$. Compared to other hotels, the price was quite reasonable for the quality :) Very satisfied.
