  A dreadful stay, the hotel is clad from top to bottom in scaffolding and rooms are not secure!

  27 May 2025

  I live in London but travel to Paris frequently. I have stayed at Hotel des Metallos several times previously; it has always been a good and reasonably priced option in a great upcoming area of central Paris, with many bars and restaurants close-by.My most recent visit was a 3 night stay, from 29th April to 2nd May, 2025. I booked on the hotel's own website, at what I would consider to be "normal" rates, and with no information given of any works ongoing at the hotel.I arrived on the afternoon of Tuesday 29th April, to find the hotel absolutely clad from top to bottom in scaffolding and plastic sheeting. Having made a non-refundable booking and with no other last-minute option, I proceeded with the check-in.I was assigned a room on the 4th (top) floor, with full height windows and "French doors", which would ordinarily have had a view along the street. Instead there taped up windows, a view onto the scaffolding and the plastic sheeting, with everything dirty and absolutely covered in dust from an ongoing external refurbishment of the building. Despite this, I slept that night with one of the French doors slightly open, as I am someone who needs some fresh air in order to be able to sleep. Had I known about the works I would have booked elsewhere.On the second night of my stay (night of 30th April), I again slept with one of the French doors slightly open. I was wakened by external noise at 03:45 that night, got up and opened the curtains, to be faced with two young men smoking on the scaffolding, 4 floors above ground level, just outside my bedroom window.Upon discussing this the next morning with the man on reception, it was clear that no compensation would be provided; I was simply informed that i should have had my windows locked and used the air-conditioning!On the morning of 2nd May, VERY loud works commenced immediately outside of my room at around 08:00, despite notices saying that work would commence no earlier than 09:30.In my opinion, the owner of this hotel has absolutely no respect for his guests. As a minimum, the ongoing nature of this work and the fact that the hotel is clad in scaffolding and sheeting should be made clear on their website, so that a decision could be made on whether to stay there or not! My advice would be to totally avoid this establishment until at least August 2025, and thereafter to obtain clear confirmation that this work is finished.

  Nice neighborhood on a busy street.

  22 May 2024

  The hotel is in a hip neighborhood with great bars and restaurants. Close to the Metro too.Room #3 is pretty noisy at times. Mostly with people walking by and talking late into the night.Avoid this room if you are a light sleeper. The staff are mostly nice but wouldn’t or couldn’t change my room because of the noise. The room I was in is quirky with a small shower that is a step up. Clean enough though.

  The perfect value for money for Paris

  03 Jan 2024

  This was my second stay here and I was not disappointed. The location is perfect, in the middle of vibrant oberkampf - you can go out at night just in the street where the hotel is - you have great bars and restaurants. The rooms are ok, clean and just as you need for Paris. Toilet is a big small but as one person I totally do not mind. You can add breakfast for 10 euros and it is much cheaper than places around. Staff is very kind, friendly and professional. And the price is extremely good for Paris range.

  More hostel than hotel!

  20 Dec 2023

  This hotel is absolutely more hostel standard than hotel and personally I wouldn’t recommend. The rooms are too small for adults and luggage. The room was falling apart and everything is very limited and bog standard… smallest pillow per person, bare minimum towels and no room amenities. We considered packing up and moving hotels. Spend a little more and stay somewhere better.

  Good

  24 Aug 2023

  Great location for Paris with clean, comfortable rooms at a very reasonable price. Hotel was conveniently situated close to several metro stations and is just a 20 minute walk to Notre Dame. Plenty of shops, restaurants, etc within walking distance. Hotel was clean and quiet with reception staff helpful and pleasant.
