Hôtel Belloy Saint-Germain

Lovely place to stay in Paris, easy to go round everywhere.

While my stay here was completely fine, I was slightly surprised that it's so highly rated on Hotels.com. My room was, as expected, minuscule; but it had a small balcony, a lovely view and the aircon worked extremely well (important in August!). However, it was also quite shabby - lots of chipped paintwork, chipped furniture etc, and all looking much more tired than online photos suggested. The carpet also looked extremely dusty, as if in need of a good vacuum. Service was unfailingly warm and pleasant, the mobile wifi device was brilliant, and the lobby coffee machine a godsend in the morning, so I don't want to be overly negative, but I would recommend you manage your expectations about how plush the overall experience is. It feels like an adequate, well-equipped three-star hotel, but nothing like a four-star (indeed, there are many three-star hotels in Paris that are much more up-to-date and luxurious than the four-star Belloy). It's an expensive part of the city to stay in, but this seemed a bit overpriced and overrated for what it was. Certainly not a disaster or somewhere to be avoided - just a bit tired.

Was in room 304 and the bathroom is a bit small. Sister was in 610 and it was a good sized room. Also, make sure you ask for a double bed vs two singles pushed together. Lots to do within easy walking distance. Breakfast is good.

It was an okay to not okay stay. The halls smelled like a toilet; the rooms were unbearably hot and when we called to ask if the AC unit could blow out cold air instead of heat - we had a disgruntled front desk person say they would and it worked through the night then the next day it went back to heat we called again to ask about the cold air and we were told it was “impossible (even though they did it last night) and to turn off the unit and open a window.” It’s fine to open the window during the day however, at night it would be too loud to sleep with it open due to noise and to have it closed itd be too hot. So needless to say it was a rough sleep. The halls are very narrow and you can hear people slamming doors. The bathrooms are nice and updated, some mold in the shower. The rooms are incredibly small unless you get a suite. The 4 stars is laughable, this is 3 at best.
