Nice hotel for solo travelers. The walls are paper thin and the doors are heavy so you hear everyone talking, doors slamming, and the police sirens the whole night. Heaters barely work in room.

Nice friendly staff This specific one person room was rather small and is to be accessed by a sequence of two doors very close to eachother. Quite a lot of traffic in the night outside.

The hotel has an ant infestation which the staff knew about but failed to report to people staying there. We got back one evening and found ants all over our room, our bed, all over our belongings, EVERYWHERE. My husband went to inform the front desk to which their response was to simply sweep them up, when we told him that wasn’t good enough because they were in our bed and on our stuff he said they weren’t and that we were wrong. We even showed him where they were to which he blatantly ignored and said we were being silly. We said we refused to stay in an ant infested room and he said the hotel was fully booked so he would go speak to the manager and be back in 5 minutes with his boss. 20 minutes later we went downstairs to find him laughing on the phone about the situation with his manager. He then proceeded to give us an ant bait and call it good as if that would solve the issue. We switched hotels that evening and had to pay an extra 500 euro for the inconvenience of switching hotels at such late notice. They were simply rude, did not help us in anyway whatsoever, not even to find us new accommodation as we don’t know the city, they were arrogant and seemed to remain oblivious to the fact that their hotel is INFESTED with ants, it’s disgusting. We went to a holiday inn to see if they have any rooms and they told us that 3 other couples had already left the residence because of the same issue. Do not go here, I’m amazed it hasn’t been shut down.

Dear Guest,Thank you for leaving a review regarding your stay at our hotel.About the ants in your room, we are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. First of all, our hotel is not infested with ants. As you can see in other reviews, our Guests don't mention any infestation. You spent 4 nights in the room but never told us there were any ants. On the 5th night, when you reported it, the receptionist indeed called the Manager. He was not laughing at all about this situation as he and the Manager had been talking on the phone for a long time when you came down and about other things that were not related at all. This is a huge misunderstanding probably because they were speaking in French and you couldn’t understand.The hotel was indeed full that night. That is why we couldn't give you another room right away. This matter was reported only two times to us. There were very few ants coming from the balcony on the 5th floor. We think they were coming from the trees which are just in front of the balconies. We did put some products and we called a company to get rid of that problem.Unfortunately, when it starts to get warm after a long winter, ants start to come out. It is not a plague and ants are not dirty as some other insects. However, we take this matter very seriously and do everything so it doesn't happen again. Regarding your comment about 3 couples who would have left our hotel because of the ants problem, I can assure you that no other Guest than you left our hotel before the end of their stay for any reason whatsoever. Regarding our staff, we always have excellent feedbacks and very good rating. Usually the reviews described our staff as very friendly and very helpful. Therefore, we are very surprised by your negative comments about our receptionists.Best Regards,

Everyone at the hotel was polite and helpful. The breakfast was good with plenty of options. Metro was very close and easily accessible to go anywhere in the city with the Navigo Decouverte pass. The bed was a little stiff, but we did not lose sleep over it. The streets were loud with people shouting at certain hours of the night and early morning, but we would not fault the hotel for that.

We had a great time at Hotel Alane. We stayed for 5 nights and had a room with a balcony. The room is extremely clean and they even gave us a mini fridge upon request. The staff were incredible, I would definitely stay again. Very walkable to attractions and 2 mins away from two of the largest train station. The only cons: the showers were small and had mold, and the wifi speed was limited. That all didnt take away from our experience, we still had a great time! Thank you Hôtel Alane Team.

My partner and I had to change rooms twice because of ants, but no one put up a fuss about it. The staff were really kind and helpful, so I can't even be mad about it. They even offered us a free breakfast the following morning for the inconvenience. We did travel in the spring, so it is not so bad that ants were coming out, but we just didn't want them to infest our luggage.

Thanks to the staff for making the stay rather pleasant. The condition of my room was excellent and very clean. I was impressed with the general decoration, and the shower was lovely too. The room is quite small, but everything is small in Paris... And I didn't go to Paris to stay in the room so the size wasn't a problem. Would go again 🙂

Good location, clean, but bad smell
Pros: friendly and helpful staff; comfortable bed; clean linens/floors etc; location was really good because of proximity to metro lines that go through central areas of Paris. Cons: really noisy as the hotel is next to the road (and this is coming from someone who’s a bit deaf!); the bathroom smelt - although clean and otherwise good condition, there was clearly a plumbing issue as it smelt like a sewer.

Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for the hotel. The location of the hotel, in the center of Paris near Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est, makes that sometimes there is traffic noise in the street, but our windows are double glazed, so with close windows we don’t hear any sounds from the outside. Regarding the bathroom smelt,our reception is open 24/24h, you could ask our receptionist, it’s his job to make sure that your stay is the best as it could be. We hope to see you soon in Paris!

First and foremost, the staff was all incredible but that’s about the only good part. The WiFi doesn’t work in the hotel. In 2023 that’s a massive problem. Also, my room only had one outlet that wasn’t close to the bed. The hotel isn’t in the safest area either. I definitely would not recommend this place. Sorry.

Good location, easy access to train and metro, clean rooms, comfortable bed, very friendly and professional reception stuff. Room may feel small for 2 person. The shower is small but I was able to fit as an almost 2m man. The hotel is located on a busy area, so even though the windows are sort of sound proof bring your earplugs for a better sleep. In overall a very good stay for the price paid. It exceeded my expectations.
