  Excellent

  I just spent 2 nights there and enjoyed it very much. Excellent value for money. RER direct bets only 10 minutes walk. Cleanliness of common areas. Cleanliness of the small studio. Very large bed. Originally submitted in French on www.tripadvisor.fr. View originals.

  Terrible Service

  14 Jul 2024

  I am writing this review to share the serious issues and significant financial loss I have experienced with ECLA Massy-Palaiseau, facilitated through Science Accueil. Here is a summary of the situation:1. I initially submitted a form through Science Accueil, clearly stating my request for a studio rental for 2 months starting September 1st, 2024.2. I was initially offered a rental with a monthly rent of €890, an admin fee of €300, and a deposit of €950, totaling €2140, which I was asked to pay upfront.3. I made the payment and sent the receipt.4. I then received the contract along with instructions on what I needed to do next.5. I noticed an error in the contract dates, informed them, and requested a correction. I did not sign the contract.6. Subsequently, I was informed that there was a mistake in the initial offer and received a new proposal with significantly higher rent: €1638 per month, a deposit of €250, and the following payment structure:For September 2024: €1638, October: €1638, November: €1638They also stated that my initial payment of €2140 would be credited towards this new proposal, and I would need to pay an additional €3024 to reserve the apartment.There are several issues with this new proposal:a. They said "the old contract that you signed is void." - But guess what? I have never ever signed any contract.b. They themselves acknowledge that the previous offer is void.c. They accepted my initial payment of €2140, yet the new offer has no valid legal basis, making the initial payment unjustified.d. They mentioned they would request a refund from Garantme, but Garantme is unaware of any refund. I have emailed Garantme and included ECLA, who are asking for confirmation of the cancellation.I have experienced significant inconvenience and financial loss due to this situation and have not received any response or resolution.I have experienced significant inconvenience and financial loss due to this situation. Therefore, I am lodging a serious complaint against this institution and seeking immediate assistance and resolution.

  To be avoided

  25 Aug 2021

  I strongly advise against this residence.It pretends to be of high standing but it is not. The residents are disrespectful, the residence is extremely noisy, security is useless.We recovered the apartment in a deplorable state, we had ants (there were some in the whole residence), we had a water leak when it rained (defective window seal), we did not have all the furniture announced on the inventory of fixtures and we had to fight to get them.Moreover everything is closed during the covid and obviously no reduction is made on the rent.To flee, those responsible are clearly crooks.

  Frustrating experience, Stay Faraway

  16 Oct 2020

  On getting to ECLA, I wasn't that will be the beginning of a frustrating experience with ECLA was asked to pay extra 30euros Then I was given a contract form written in the French language. HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EXPECT A FOREIGNER TO HAVE A FULL GRASP OF YOUR LANGUAGE?When I asked for an English version I was told it's not availabl. NOW I HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH NO/LITTLE IDEA OF WHATEVER IS WRITTEN. WICKEDNESS!!!! because I'm very certain it was a deliberate thing to extort international students. After that, I was asked to pay an extra fee of 700euros as desposit. WHAT?????Not 300, 400 but 700 euros.I wasn't even aware of all these charges. What's difficult in giving full details of what people should expect but they won't because they know once you arrive you won't have any other choice.TERRIBLE!!!!!You will pay an extra charge for washing and drying and that cost 7.5eurosNow, after some days, I discovered my deposit of 700euros won't be returned until after one month. ECLA YOU ARE CANCELLED!!!!
