HÔTEL LES THÉÂTRES ^{* * * *}

Very bad experience. I don't understand how this place got a 4 stars rating.

Both the room and the overall place were clearly lacking maintenance. In the room, the bathroom cabinet was literally falling apart (the wooden front was not fixed to the cabinet, just laid there, you could see the piping behind and it was falling off to the floor very easily and frequently). For two days (out of 4 we stayed there), water pressure was extremely low, and for almost one entire day there was no hot water at all.

The room was.. claustrophobic at best (the entire hotel is, for a fact), but I understand this is something expected for a hotel in central Paris. Still, to me it was not comfortable at all, and I'm not even that big or tall. Ventilation was pretty bad, and given that the shower was in the same ambient as the bed (no physical separation), after taking a quick shower you also end up enjoying a sauna. The room plan was also either not updated, or fake (it was not matching the actual layout of the room, at all). One evening we got some takeaway, and asked the receptionist if we could eat it in the dining room. He said "sure, but you can also use the bedroom for that", to which we answered, "in the bedroom, where?" (he didn't reply). There was a single window with very limited light coming in, we never managed to keep the lights turned off even during bright sunny days. To get to the balcony (which felt somewhat abusive), you had to use the window (like, an actual window, not a French door). Also you could easily hear people in the nearby rooms, one night we enjoyed someone on the other side of the wall throwing up (really, we heard him coming inside, "singing" some very guttural sounds for a good 5/10 minutes while on the toilet (at least I hope he was the toilet), flushing the water and then leaving the room).

Breakfast was meh. There was little choice, and most food was not that good.

On the plus side, it is located in a pretty central location, if you like to walk you can easily get to the most famous landmarks in Paris in anything between 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Overall, not recommended at all. I expect MUCH better from a 4-stars hotel.

Positive: Excellent service from the staff, very quiet room, exceptionally comfortable bed. Not far from the Metro. Negative: Room was too hot; thermometer didn?t control the heating properly. We opened the window.?.

Très bien placé
Chambre de taille standard
Mais trop bruyant aucune isolation entre le couloir et les chambres réveillés par le réveil des voisins.
Chambre pas très propre poussière un peu partout
Petit déjeuner convenable dirons nous mais les pancakes et brioche sont archi sèche pas fraîches du tout
Pas de chocolat ou lait chaud ..
Coin sauna sympas.
Carte de chambre qui fonctionne une fois sur 2
Bien placé

Bel endroit, bien situé, belle surprise l'espace détente simple mais agréable
Chambre confortable bien que pas très grande
Par contre, manque de discrétion du personnel, raté pour le petit déjeuner au calme

Hotel très sympa, idéalement placé. Chambre propre, accueil chaleureux H24. Le petit-dejeuner et le spa sont un gros plus.
