I booked the Porte de Montreuil Etap Hotel based on the reviews on this website. Everything in the reviews was true.
And here is why I'll never stay at any Etap Hotel again.
Some of the other reviews have pictures of the bed, which features a double bed on the bottom, and a single bunk bed placed crosswise over the head of the double below. What the pictures don't show is that the double bed consists of a thin mattress on a raised platform. IT IS ROCK HARD! My back was sore the entire time I stayed there. It became obvious to me that the people who run this company have never actually slept in these beds!
There were other problems too. Other reviews mentioned that the hotel was air conditioned.
Well, I was there in October and the room was an oven for my entire stay, even with the thermostat at the minimum setting. Even so, the problem could have been easily rectified by opening a window, but they were fixed in place. Also, how can a 20 story hotel not have an ice machine? I don't mean for each floor, but for the entire hotel!
I loved having the mall and the flea market downstairs, and the metro a block away, but the bed was a dealbreaker for me. If you think I'm being a crybaby, give this hotel a try.
Just don't forget the Tylenol!
