Holiday Inn Paris Notre Dame, Paris

The air conditioner made a loud screeching noise for the first two nights of my 7 day stay. The front desk’s “solution” was for me to tape a towel over the air vents to try and mask the noise. That didn’t work so I resorted to ear plugs and pillows over my ears. They eventually were able to move me to a new room with a normal sounding air vent

Location was great, front desk staff were friendly, but unfortunately that was NOT enough to compensate for the horrible condition of the hotel itself. Upon check in, we found the hotel very rundown. Furnitures all dinged up, carpet were dirty with unknown stains, room smelled stuffy, bathroom did not seem very clean, the shower was very difficult to turn on. The staff were very nice to let us check out other rooms, but sadly all the rooms were about the same condition - old and falling apart. It rained the first night we were there. The window leaked water and soaked up my backpack nearby. We were forced to leave the hotel - they were gracious enough to let us check out earlier than planned. I really wish they could get some funding to upgrade the hotel - it is a pity that such a wonderful location and helpful staff were not fully utilized because the rooms sucked. Also this hotel is not up to 4 star standard for sure. I feel bad leaving a bad review because the staff were really trying to help yet they didn't really have much to work with. I really don't want fellow travelers to suffer through what we had experienced. We woke up depressed and wasted half a day recovering and fanatically looking for another hotel.

We stayed in a room with a balcony and a view to the Eiffle tower. It was perfect. Breakfast is very nice. Location is perfect.

Very nice hotel, clean ,convenient, close to everything.

Our room had a king size bed, very quiet room, with excellent air conditioning which are all hard to find in Paris. Location is perfect for walking around key sites, and the front door is 20m from the St Michel stop which has direct access to the RER C rail line straight to Versailles. Great restaurants and shopping around. The roof top terrace stole the show. it was a great night cap to view the buildings you have been visiting all day. and all of Paris. Perfect vantage point for viewing the Eiffel tower, which shimmers like diamonds for 5 minutes each hour, and the Sacre Coeur on the hill. A mini mart is 10 feet away to buy snacks and beverages at normal prices. ATM's are across the street. All in all the perfect logistical setup, magical views from the terrace, easy to find cheap but great quality eats. Notre Dame 3 minute walk, Louvre 15 minute walk, Luxembourg Gardens (And Angelinas best hot cocoa in Paris) 10 minute walk. A hotel worth the price. Breakfast was expensive and just okay quality, but it's convenient, I would suggest instead the many restaurants around the hotel to eat instead.
