Very nice hotel. At first, hotel and room was very clean, which is very important to us. Stuff is kind and friendly. Breakfast was average, nothing special, food that most of us eat every day. No fried eggs, no sausages, no bacon. Beds were very comfortable. Hotel has kitchen and washing machines for guests, which can be very useful. Usage of kitchen is free, which is good. But, I rate this hotel with 3/5 because of room temperature. Hotel has central heating system which is set to 19 Celsius degrees, so it is cold and unpleasant temperature for us. We sad that to the stuff and they sad that it is normal temperature. For us it was very cold, in our home temperature in the cold winter is 24-25 Celsius degrees with good heating. Good thing is that we were outside the whole day, and used room only for sleeping. Also, window in the room is blocked, so it can not open to ventilate the room, I don't know why. Bathroom was spacious and clean, with hot water. Location of the hotel is well connected to all major parts of the city and tourist attractions.

We already stayed in an excellent Meininger hotel in Germany, so we thought we can book this one in Paris we both eyes closed. But it was a very different experience: although the room was large enough and clean, it lacked the most amenities you just expect in a modern hotel. It looks and feels very industrial, and it has neither any charm, nor did anyone pay attention to the room outfit. There‘s for example no cabinet, no freaking fridge!, and the single beds are just 80 cm. wide, you can‘t open the window in your room (not even a gap), the room felt VERY overheated, and despite trying many times, there was no way to influence the temperature in the room. Many things in the room are sub-low price quality, like all of the lamps, the coat hooks on the wall (for the lack of a cabinet), and overall, iI couln‘t escape the feeling that I was staying in a gloryfied jail cell. Add the constant bad smell in the reception, probably from the guest kitchen, I don‘t know, but it permanently smelled somehow putrid in the ground floor. Location: it’s in a safe district of Paris, you can walk there at night without feeling threatened. At the reception I was told that the Metro-station (Porte de Vincennes) is 5 minutes away, however this is only valid for a hardend narathon-man. I‘m a fast walker, but it took me 15 minutes, each time. All in all, I‘m pretty sure it was a one-off experience for us.

Don’t book here!! You’re better off staying in a hostel. Absolutely hard beds, cramped rooms. The photos are very deceiving!! Stay away! We ended up leading our room after management wouldn’t honor any refund. It wasn’t worth losing valuable time in Paris for. It is very far from everything and looks run down!

Charged €12 to store luggage, absolutely ridiculous. Have used Meininger a few times in other countries and never been charged. When I contacted them I was told oh it’s normal… sorry I’ve been around the world and never had a hotel charged for luggage before and after check in! The room was like a prison cell. Mattress like cardboard. ZERO ventilation. Literally ran out at 9am to get air. Window could not be opened and NO air con. It was 25c while there - be wary if you stay in summer. Man checking us in was incredibly surly. The only upside to this awful stay was it was close to the park. Oh and also the pillows are tiny and you only get one
