Hotel Le Clos d'Alésia, Paris

Our stay was great, the hotel is clean, the staff is nice, and the location is perfect to go walk all over the city!

The hotel rooms were generally larger than the typical Parisian hotel. The desk clerks were extremely friendly and management was very helpful in accommodating an error in our booking (we meant to book an additional day, but the room we were already in was already booked for that extra night). It was clean, and generally well maintained. The location was not near tourist areas, but it was a quick taxi or metro ride, or perhaps a 20 minute walk, to get to the places we wanted to go. The fact that it is not near tourist areas was nice (for us, anyway), in that the shops and restaurants nearby were not "touristy" and generally less expensive. Wi-Fi was good, but open. Make sure you use a VPN or some other encryption if you are entering passwords. The only downside was that Paris was experiencing a heat wave during our stay, and the hotel is not air-conditioned. Electric fans were available on request though. Our room was directly over the entrance, and occasionally, the clerks would step outside to smoke a cigarette, and the odor would waft into our room (which were open due to the heat wave). So, if they read this review, perhaps they would consider stepping a few meters away from the front of the hotel in the future. We would definitely consider a stay in this hotel again. It was a near perfect fit for what we were looking for!

This is a small hotel and if you're game to walk, you can access the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian experiences, or be there in minutes by taxi. We preferred staying local, finding a local restaurant, and sitting with Parisians playing cards, chatting over beers, and generally enjoying each other's company. The service in the hotel was warm and friendly, the room intimate and charming, the breakfast delicious - all aesthetically pleasing. A nice memory.

Very friendly and affordable and decent place to stay. A bit strange to have to hand in your keycard every time you leave but oh well.

Excellent customer service. Older rooms.

Our check-in was not pleasant and we were forced to pay upon arrival although we had paid online already... thankfully the day manager was much more pleasant and issued a refund when we checked-out.

We have a lovely time hotel staff were very friendly very cheerful the hotel was very clean and is in a very nice area we would come again we came as a family of 5 of us and there was enough room for us all we were not all squashed in there is breakfast if you wished to have it and there's are plenty of places to eat near by wonderful area

Older hotel, but very clean and great service. There is a 24 hour front desk who held the key card when we entered and left, so there’s no chance of losing it. Convenient location. Lots of bakeries and cafes just down the block, and a subway station and bus stop are just two blocks away. Takes 30 minutes by public transit to reach the main attractions (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower). Beds aren’t the most comfortable, but was fine for one night. Note that there is NO elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up to four flights of stairs!

The staff was absolutely wonderful. Very pleasant and helpful. Worked hard to get us a cab when none were available following France's world cup win.
