HÔTEL ESTÉ

This is a nice hotel in a really good location. Gare Du Nord is about a ten minute walk away and Gare Du L’est is across the road. There’s also a train entrance directly outside the hotel. I walked to the Louvre Museum in half an hour and many other locations. There’s also many restaurants and fast food places and a supermarket across the road too. It’s a good place to stay but my only small criticism is the shower and bathroom which is quite small (perhaps because I was in a single room?). The bathroom also doesn’t have enough toiletries. I always bring my own but it would be nice if they provided things like a shower cap, bars of soap, cotton wool, cotton buds etc. The staff are nice - Ashley and Jay answered my many questions and Jay recommended a great Caribbean restaurant - thank you! Tay was also friendly when I checked out. I think it’s a bit too pricey for what it is but would recommend staying here.

We spent three days in the hotel and had a fabulous time. Our 5th floor room was compact but had everything we needed. The staff-especially the man who greeted us at 11pm on the Wednesday 3rd-were so helpful and kind. Nothing was a problem. Breakfast was great-good opening hours and had something for everyone. The staff there could have been a bit more friendly but were ok. The pool and spa area was small and compact but well run and very clean. The massage we had was very relaxing. Our only issue was with the pool and changing area. You have to book the pool and on one of the days we booked it, there were 4 ladies in there already so no room for a proper swim and since they’d taken the only beds, nowhere for us to relax. When we then went for our massage ( before getting the train to uk) there was nowhere to shower or get changed as the changing room was in use. We’d been told that we’d be able to shower and wash hair etc but then weren’t allowed in changing room. Since we’d paid over £200 for this, I feel that it should have been available to us. Overall the hotel itself was a great experience and in a great location and we look forward to returning soon!

Amazing location.

This hotel was a wonderful surprise. It was 8 steps from the metro exit at Gard de l'est making it super convenient for my train departure the next morning. Given the month of August and the many heat waves in France, the Air Conditioning was fantastic and made my sleep very comfortable. The exceptionally clean and updated room was in three parts making the toilet, shower, and sleeping area each unique and private should you be traveling with another person. I left my plug adaptor at the hotel by accident and a quick call to the front desk assured me that I could pick it up two weeks later when I returned to Paris. This is super helpful and I will see them and thank them on August 27th! I travel to Paris many times a year and will return to this hotel without doubt. I expect when the word gets out about this gem, it will be a very popular stay in Paris for many! (My train was very early. As such, I was unable to stay for breakfast but it smelled delicious as I walked by the preparation.
