Hotels near Anna and Jo＇s in Paris

First things first, there effectively is no Lennon Hotel. There is no reception there and no breakfast room. Everything from the administration on is done through the Avalon Hotel next door so, make the assumption that you are going to the Avalon and you will not get lost or confused. The decor is both dated and modern at the same time. I would say, typically French so I am glad they didn't go all chain hotel and boring. The Bedroom - The choice of furniture I would question. In some pictures you can see what looks like a coat rack. This is the 'wardrobe' in the room. There are 6 hooks which may or may not have 6 hangers. Beneath that could well be a full size laptop safe (free to use) and under that, what I would have used as the shoe shelf. There really isn't anywhere for smaller items at all, they likely will stay in your luggage. With the lighting it's either bright or very bright so, there wasn't really an option to have it dimly lit though there are a selection of ceiling light, wall lamps and table lamps, they are all bright. Our room (100) was not a king size bed, I feel 4' 6” as it was certainly smaller than we are used to. In many pictures it shows the white bed pillows supplemented by small blue (green) ones. This is certainly not the case with every room. The Bathroom - I can but speak for our room as I understand other rooms have different configurations. We had a walk in shower with a rain shower head and a hand held spray adjusted using ornate handles. The toilet was on the wall. I personally don't like those, I feel incredibly unsafe especially when they creak like this one did when sat on. To make it worse, we're only 5' 3” and it's just too high, we felt like 5 year olds in need of a step stall. I wondered if this might not be aimed at wheelchair users as I am disabled but I do not use a chair but a mobility scooter (which there was plenty of room for). Then I consider the sink which is high up, too high for a wheelchair user. Of course, there is no chair in the shower either so, if it is meant to be an accessible room, it kind of isn't. The walls are done in tiles. Very mismatched tiles, not sure whether that was intentional or just years of different repairs and replacements. I feel that the light blue small square tiles were original but that when the shower, toilet and sink were last done they were not replicable so got replaced with blue rectangle tiles. The floor tiles are probably original but very worn and though they may have been, I never felt they were clean. Being a walk in shower the water got everywhere and the floor remained wet all night so we kept a towel on the floor by the door. Us British might find it weird to see a hairdryer in the bathroom right next to the sink, I think a plug socket too! The large round mirror was supposed to light up with a touch switch but, we never got it to work. The water pressure was though very good and combined shower gel/shampoo is provided as are ample towels which are s

I was robbed here and the employees facilitated it. One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I was with a large tour group, and three hours before we were supposed to leave after a ten day long stay, a strange man forced entry (forced? was let in?) to 15 or so of my group’s rooms that we know of, possibly more, if not all. I was robbed. My laptop and iPad were stolen and so were my roommate’s headphones and portable charger, as well as a little bit of cash left on the desk. My suitcase had been rifled through and my belongings strewn about. The hotel desk worker actively made it as difficult as possible to report it. He would not call 112 for me, or translate for me since I do not speak French. He blamed our own tour group, he blamed me for not locking it even though I did, he said their locks could not be broken. Once I finally got ahold of the police, he still would not translate for me and actually lied to them about what happened, according to one of my friends who spoke some French. He would not let us see security footage of the man who broke into the rooms and told us that the manager “would review it in the morning”, conveniently after we would have already left the country. He watched over my shoulder as I was tracking my devices and made phone calls in a language that was not French any time he snuck an update from my phone. They still have not called me with any information, and I don’t believe they will. How else would a stranger have access to so many rooms of just our tour group right before we were supposed to leave if they had not been let in? I had locked my door and had the one and only key they gave my roommate and I with me when it happened. They even barged into rooms people were present inside of, and the employee did absolutely nothing about it. The manager never showed up. Before being robbed, I did not particularly like the hotel in the first place. The rooms themselves were tiny and our bathroom toilet seat had cigarette burn holes in them. All in all a very bad experience with terrible staff who organized for our rooms to be broken into and burgled. Disgusting. I know theft is commonplace in Europe but for it to be so blatantly obviously facilitated by the hotel was infuriating and I could do nothing as I watched them drive away with my devices. Do not stay here. They will arrange for your stuff to be stolen and try to blame it on you.

The hotel is in a really nice position very close to the metro station of Jaurès that can get you basically everywhere. The place was clean and there is the chance to leave there your luggage if you come to early for check in or if you need to leave it after check out. That earns the 2 stars in my review. Unfortunately this was probably my worst experience in a hotel. Checking in I was told that we got an upgrade and, instead of our view on the city we got what is supposedly a better room facing an internal wall. I must say that I am not sure if that was really an upgrade because it didn't feel like it - and this makes me wonder what would have been a regular room. Rooms are poorly insulated and I could hear perfectly what was going on in the rooms next to our. The cleaning was good, but unfortunately the cleaning lady forgot to close our door and, when we came back to the hotel in the late afternoon, we found the door open. The only answer we got when we reported the issue was ”oh, that's not good” - indeed it isn't. Growing up in a similar business I have been taught to do what it take to make happy your guests and I found odd that I couldn't get a couple of spoons when I asked for them (”breakfast is closed now so we don't have spoons”). All in all, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The price doesn't match the service.

what kind of hotel has ear plugs next to their beds??? we arrived late at night to the hotel we checked in and went to our room, the room was tiny, there is no room for 2 people and the luggage. the noise the subway makes is very loud and makes it impossible to sleep there to that you have to add the noise the elevator makes every time it moves. we had such a terrible first night we decided to leave the hotel. we asked booking.com to get us a refund for the remaining 5 nights we were going to stay. booking.com was unable to refund us and the hotel has only one person working at the front desk and this person isn't informed on how to their job and doesn't speak 1 word of english. they were unable to help us. we emailed a manager of the hotel and they told us they were not going to refund even though we left our hotel. so we lost about $1750 at this terrible noisy with mediocre staff and tiny rooms. I have stayed in at least 16 different hotels in Paris and have never had this experience. i am still waiting for an acceptable answer from booking.com or the hotel.

What a little gem of a hotel. Well situated for the beautiful attractions this gorgeous city has to offer. Rooms were spotless and the bed very comfortable. Room was air-conditioned and the aircon worked well. Coffee and tea making facilities were provided as was a small refrigerator complete with glasses, cups and saucers. Also an ironing board and a flat screen tv with some channels in English from the UK. Staff at checking were very friendly and greeted us with a smile and were attentive to our needs. There is a small swimming pool and sauna in the basement and again this is a bonus and very well presented and clean. The dining area for breakfast was attractive with nice decor and a pleasant place to be. I think this is a great hotel and im so pleased we stayed there. We do intend to return - as Paris was a blast with lovely people and a great vibe and we will choose this hotel again as i cant fault it. They were welcoming, friendly and the place was lovely and clean with stylish decor - and quiet..! I don't do many reviews on here and am new to this so i hope this helps others make a decision.

I stayed in a large single room on the 4th floor. Comfy bed, great bathroom, good layout with thoughtful touches like USB ports in the lights by the bed. The staff is incredibly helpful and all seem to speak English. The location is great as it's a true Parisian neighborhood with excellent restaurants, patisserie's, bars, etc., close to the metro making exploring the city easy. The one downside is that my floor had several small rooms which may have been carved up from larger ones as the walls were paper thin. I'd just come in off the redeye from NYC and for the two nights I stayed there, I could hear TV's, loud conversations and general noise way past midnight. I ran into four men in their 20s when I arrived at my room whom I suspect were the culprits. I may've just had bad luck and it's very likely that the larger rooms on other floors don't have this issue but if you're not a night owl or traveling on business, be aware.

In my room the A\C didn't work, the wc room was so small that i couldn't fit in (i'm184 and very slim), the aeration system didn't work inside the bathroom and one light was flickering, the room was dirty and you could hear every single words that my room neighbours were saying, you could hear also every drop of piss they had. I went to the concierge and he Immediately changed my room with a smile, he did the right thing with the right attitude. The new room was better but still dirty (the cleaning lady skipped twice in a week the cleaning) and kind of outdated. The position of hotel is perfect but from my point of view the pricing is out of this world for this kind of structure. Thank you again to all the hotel staff for their kindness.

I don't expect luxury from a hostel, but I do expect cleanliness. On the surface the hostel appears clean. Most importantly, the bed sheets and mattress are clean. However, look beyond that and you'll see it's filthy and obviously never given a deep clean. Down the side of the lower bunk there is what must be months and months of rotten food, old socks, dirt and dust that has been allowed to collect. No wonder the room smells so musty and stuffy. My bunk had blood streaks from a squashed bug (and live mosquitoes flying about), as well as sticky finger prints all over the bed panels and window. Furthermore, the noise level is crazy. I understand on a Friday people want to party so the bar was blasting out music and the 1st floor rooms are not sound proof - I actually didn't mind that. What annoyed me was the fact that they were blasting music through the speakers in the 1st floor toilet/shower rooms. WHY?! This made the room and hallways even noisier. Its only saving grace is the location (and free wi-fi). It can feel a bit dodgy walking through there alone as a single woman at night, but so can any big city... The hostel is close to some great bars, restaurants, and tourist attractions (Père Lachaise Cemetery, for example). I'd recommend hiring a bike to get around - there's quite a few Vélib' bike stations a short walk away.

J’ai séjourné 3 nuits dans cet hôtel durant les vacances de la Toussaint pour une visite de Paris. À cette période le centre de la capitale étant hors de prix j’ai opté pour cet établissement. L’accueil est correct, discret. Les chambres sont de taille suffisante pour deux et la literie très bien malgré l’absence de vrai sommier ( planche de bois). L’hôtel était très calme pas de bruit de prêts qui claquent ou de personnes parlant fort, et l’insonorisation est parfaite avec un double vitrage qui permet l’absorption des bruits du périphérique pourtant tout proche. Depuis l’hôtel les transports : ligne 7 du métro, tram 3a et T9 sont à environ 5 mn à pied ce qui permet de rejoindre rapidement le centre de Paris. Un très tes bon rapport qualité / prix. Nous reviendrons sûrement !

This comfortable and beautiful hostel is so near the Bercy Bus and Train station. You can go the city center and all tourists places via metro, buses in a very short time. There are several good restaurants and cafes near the hostel to eat or have a drink. The room stayed was so clean and comfortable. It also had a balcony. The staff are so kind, understanding,smiled-face and helpful people. I thank them all. If you want to visit Paris for a couple of days as a solo traveller like me, this beautiful, peaceful and safe hostel is a great place for you. I strongly recommend it.
