Reviews for Phileas Hotel

Review 1：The internet was terrible. Even though I was on vacation, I had a few important things that I needed to handle online. The wifi (when it worked) was spotty. Even the hotel at the property didn't have an internet connection.

Review 2：I thought the decor was really cute and chic. The location was also great. Less than a minute walking to the train station, but on a side street so it wasn't too busy.

Review 3：Location very convenient to shopping, metro stations, and walking distance to Le Louvre and most of Paris's attractions. Our room was very stylish and big by European standards. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Review 4：The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The room was exceptionally clean and neat. The location, one block from the Gare Lazare was very accessible. Moderate cost restaurants were close . Certainly would stay there again.

Review 5：Nothing Maybe more alcohol and drinks in fridge Not major though Great staff

Review 6：Very good Lovely staff Caught them at a tragic time the y We're very professional

Review 7：Very friendly staff Surprisingly clean and nice hotel for Paris! comparing with others hotel in Paris in this price range this one you will not regret

Review 8：The rooms were a bit small, but still clean and comfortable.

Review 9：The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Benoit, who worked the front desk.

Review 10：You could hear some some noise from the street

Review 11：The staff were lovely at check in, the rooms were a good size and clean. There were 5 of us and we had connecting rooms which was great. The hotel provided free drinks and toiletries. It's also in a great location

Review 12：Some misunderstandings as we were addressing our requests to the night shift staff (we checked in rather late in the evening). It turned out later they were simply not in charge in certain areas, such as e.g. recovery code for the safe. Advice: double check with day shift staff.

Review 13：Great facilities (shower). Modern and spacious room with long hallway, bathroom and a separate toilet. Newly refurbished. Free minibar with water and soft drinks. Very professional and friendly staff. Great place to stay in comparison to the usual standard in Paris.

Review 14：not sure why hotels in Europe do not have toilet bidet or at least hose! this one is no exception; really great though that the toilet is a separate room from the shower, so very convenient for friends who need to use both at the same time :) ...

Review 15：location is quite central and near the metro station (St. Lazare)

Review 16：Unfortunately there were several things we did not like. First, it was cold in Paris the night that we arrived in the hotel (40 F / 5 C) We arrived to our room to find the window wide open and the room freezing cold. There were cigarette butts on the window sill -- obviously someone smoked and then tried to air out the smell. It took hours for the room to warm up again. The thermostat in our room did not work until the front desk reset it for us. Second, the shower had a noticeable smell. I thought it was cleaner but my fiancé thought it was mold, though everything did look clean. Third, the room is most definitely not sound proof. We could hear the street traffic, a TV in the room next door and people in the hallway. We stay in Paris twice a month at different hotels each time and soundproof rooms are insulated from this kind of noise and often even have two layers of windows. Our room was in a small hallway with only two other rooms so it wasn't like we were next to the elevator or a central meeting space where this might be more expected. To be clear, I don't think the walls were especially thin, but to label the rooms as soundproof would be dishonest. Fourth, the Wifi connection was so weak we could not use it at all. We booked this room last minute and got a very good deal (99 EUR), but even with this benefit we cannot ignore these other issues.

Review 17：The room is beautiful and a decent size for Paris. We found the bed and pillows very comfortable compared to other hotels of the same price. There is a cool additional light fixture in the shower that changes colors at different speeds. In general the lighting in the room is very good. We liked the outlets on both sides of the bed for cell phone charging. Everything in the hotel looks brand new. We felt safe in the location, just across from the Saint Lazare train station. It was well placed -- a short walk to the nightlife of Place de Clichy and would be a short walk in the other direction to Opera.

Review 18：breakfast room a little busy as very small, need to come down early (but staff very friendly and helpful)

Review 19：staff were fantastic, so helpful with directions, printing out anything we needed, lending i-phone charger etc

Review 20：nothing Let's say I paid the price...167 € is not cheap, but good value for money...

Review 21：Quality bed Good bathroom Quiet room, no noises from neighbors or street friendly staff

Review 22：They just don't attend to their business center. Printer out of ink with hundreds of files awaiting printing. Out of paper as well. Internet is terrible. Manager didn't seem to care - just excuses.

Review 23：staff very helpful and attentive. good location within walking distance to most areas of interest (opera, Montmartre, shopping) Metro station within 5 min.

Review 24：The room was huge (I booked the deluxe double) but the closet was still just a foot or two wide with four hangers. Despite the sq footage of the room I still had a full week's worth of clothes all over the place. It doesn't make sense to have a room that size with big empty space and no closet space for longer stays. There was also a huge brown soaking wet stain in my carpet outside the bathroom all week, which wasn't cleaned up despite my call to reception. I was told to wear slippers and put a towel down instead...Also, the WORST internet in France. It kicks you out on a 7 minute timer and you have to log back in with a user name and password. Not at all practical for a work trip.

Review 25：Staff was friendly. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was great

Review 26：Wifi not stable & have to sign in multiple times.

Review 27：Very convenient location, can walk to Primtemp & Lafayette & a lot of eateries. Train station is closed by. The staff are super friendly & helpful.

Review 28：No parking at all - we were coming back from Normandy with a Eurocar - nowhere to park. Please note that there is a Eurocar return in the parking garage the hotel recommends (we didn't know that or would have taken advantage).

Review 29：Beautiful room - very clean and roomy. Please note there are a few stairs - even with a lift. Excellent staff - very friendly and helpful - I was impressed. Location is great! - except if you have a car (our mistake).

Review 30：Musty smelling room, terrible breakfast: canned fruit, white bread, sweetened dry scrambled eggs but weirdly prosecco! Cramped breakfast room. Very poor value for money.... I expect a much better breakfast for $300 a night!

Review 31：Location is good, nice big room. Wifi fine. Roof terrace.

Review 32：Only one downside very small breakfast room and everybody coming down together there was nowhere to sit! However breakfast was very good

Review 33：Excellent hotel and the staff were excellent in everyday

Review 34：This was a fantastic find in the centre of Paris. The staff were extremely helpful, and the room exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and style. The room was more spacious than I had expected and exceptionally well furnished. We were at the end of our trip but otherwise would have loved to have stayed a couple of days longer.

Review 35：1) Excellent service, Mr. Beniot and team were very professional, helpful 2) Next to St Lazare station, easy to take metro, next to Bld Haussmann for shops, walking distance to Madeline 3) Rooms with space, very pleasant bathroom and shower area

Review 36：Beautiful little hotel! Lovely stylish rooms and even mood lighting in great shower room! Very handy for RER and metro at St lazare and Galleries Lafayette

Review 37：The entrance is narrow and doesn't reflect the 4star quality of the hotel. Receptionist was very kind and made us feel very welcome.

Review 38：Location is very covenient near metro, RER and train station. Opera and major stores (Printemps etc) at walking distance. Staff very kind and helpfull.

Review 39：I could not enter the hotel in the late night. Reception is occupied with room serices.

Review 40：Nice location for sightsseing. Connection room is good for family stay. Friendly and kind reception services.

Review 41：The hotel was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The quality of the fixtures was high particularly the shower. It was in a central location. We were able to leave our case there after checkout on the day of departure without charge. We were invited to sit in the hotel and have a coffee whilst waiting for our early evening train. We would definately recommend this hotel.

Review 42：Location excellent for Garnier, Opera, Grands Magasins, excursion to Giverny, and more. Newly renovated, proper, clean, (surprisingly) quiet, very friendly and helpful staff, all in all a very pleasant experience.

Review 43：Central part of Paris is a bit expensive in terms of parking. The public underground parking next door goes for 29 Euros for a duration between 12 hours and 24 hours (for a more extended period there is a discount but the car will have to stay in the parking, so why bother coming by car anyway).

Review 44：The hotel is located some 100 meters from the St Lazare station, which may be an advantage for those using public transportation. The area is rather quiet despite the vicinity of the station. The hotel is super, suprisingly clean. All the facilities are working and it seems it has been freshly renovated. The rooms are rather quiet even the ones facing the Amsterdam street. The staff are friendly. There is no restaurant at the hotel, but there are plenty of dining options in the city and in the area. For those having late evening thirst there is a night shop across the street.

Review 45：Nothing

Review 46：Lovely hotel and very well located. Off the main tourist areas but close by Metro. Ibrahim on the reception was very pleasant and helpful. All around a very good experience and we will return.

Review 47：Rather small room for twin beds - but what to expect in Paris. The keyboard mixed keys and printer attached to the free computer was lack of colour.

Review 48：The bathroom. Kind staff.

Review 49：All fabulous!!!

Review 50：Our entire experience at the Phileas hotel was fantastic. From the welcome staff, check in, assistance with getting to room and showing us all the facilities to the free cold drinks on arrival and the amazing room. The hotel is quite new and you can tell. The bed was the most comfortable we've slept in and the pillows and bedding luxurious. Bathroom is unique with colored changing lights if you want and all bathroom products were of a high quality. We stayed one night and immediately rebooked 2 more nights later on in our journey. Can't speak more highly of the hotel.

Review 51：Absolutely nothing

Review 52：The service was of a high standard. The hotel was probably one of the best we have stayed in. The location was ideal. The cleanliness of the room was 10/10. The room itself was 10/10. Highly recommended.

Review 53：Cleaners threw out one of our personal products. Some clerks were much friendlier than others.

Review 54：Resolution for our problem. The manager that got back to us on an incident compensated us very kindly for the mishap. Location, great if you plan to go to the Moulin Rouge and Disneyland. Decent wifi, however not capable of making video calls. Spacious room. Free minibar!

Review 55：Small dislike that when they clean my room, they don't fill up my bath set ( cap, body lotion,..). Wifi must always reconnect.

Review 56：Loction - so convenient to reach all main attach point in Paris. Free upgrade and friendly staff.

Review 57：The only poor rating is due to the very basic wifi - really too slow.

Review 58：Modern design, very clean and superb staff. The hotel is close to the renovated Gare St Lazare, so is close to all the major sights of the centre of Paris - walkable

Review 59：Phileas was right near the railroad station, convenient to travel out of Paris. The breakfast was very good for an additional charge. The room and bath were quite modern and there was an elevator for the upper floors.

Review 60：Wifi- was only for 5 hours.

Review 61：Loved the place, everything you want from a hotel, above all clean, quiet, attention to detail, friendly staff. Worth every penny. Will be going back to stay there. Will recommend it to everyone

Review 62：The area and the busy traffic street. Room window was the behind street with a Major construction site for at least another 12month...

Review 63：The hotel design and room interior

Review 64：Lots of bums hanging out near the hotel.

Review 65：Location near shopping malls and metro stations. Very helpful and friendly staffs. I booked it under €100 so it was good!!

Review 66：Lift did not go down to ground floor, breakfast room small and open to circulation area.

Review 67：good location, excellent room and en-suite. very helpful and friendly staff.

Review 68：Must keep on logging into the wifi Maybe a bar or lounge area to chill out

Review 69：The bed and room was excellent Room very spacious and neat Staff very helpful and friendly Very close to the metro Nice touches like Thierry Moglier tioletries

Review 70：The road nearby is quite noisy (down to the French drivers, beeping all the time!).

Review 71：Absolutely immaculate - very clean and tidy. The furnishing was nice, the service at reception was friendly and helpful. Wifi was good. Bed was large and comfortable. TV worked and there were plenty of lighting options to choose from in the room

Review 72：Every time you wanted to use the wi fi you needed to re log on

Review 73：Location was excellent next to railway station 25 minute walk to sights staff were very friendly and helpful

Review 74：Did not have breakfast room service yet. But the staff explained everything about it. Use of the wifi was little bit to complicated. Otherwise it was working.

Review 75：The staff was superb!

Review 76：At this price, breakfast should be included. WIFI system was not very reliable (tokens expired before they were supposed to).

Review 77：Friendly and helpful staff, great location, extremely clean room, shower with color therapy (pretty cool).

Review 78：My only suggestion (which is turn of all hotels) is to place larger and more trash cans in the room.

Review 79：The staff ( especially Benoit) were professional, warm, helpful, and practiced a level of customer service that exceeded all expectations. The location was next to a major rail station which contains a shopping mall, markets (but very quite) and car rental. Our room was large, with noted attention to comfort details that met all of our needs. This is now our first choice of hotels in Paris. Superior stay!

Review 80：All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made our stay really enjoyable. The decor is bright and funky, the bed comfortable, rooms spotless, the breakfast amazing. A real pleasure to stay there.

Review 81：As with previous posts, having to log in to wifi with codes each time with each device evrytime you reconnect to wifi. I use BB10 and Apple OX safari browsers.is a frustration Staff tell me its usually not a problem with iphones and most android phones, but they should get their ip provider to sort it this out.

Review 82：Staff friendliness and helpfulness

Review 83：the room was to small for the value that we paid, the bathroom was not really ready when we got there (not 100% clean and not properly equipped)

Review 84：comfortable and located very close to the metro, nice and friendly staff

Review 85：No luggage space in room, if you are travelling with big bags, from Australia as we were. Located on the seedy side of the railway station.

Review 86：A lot of attention to detail. Fabulous lightening, close to central metro.

Review 87：The initial triple we were put into was very small and claustrophobic for 3 persons. Looked like a small double converted to a triple by putting an extra bed in. However, the staff more than made up for it by moving us the next night and with a smile on her face!

Review 88：Location was great. Walking distance to most places and feels safe to walk around the area. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were initially put into a small triple room with no space to open any luggages, but we were moved into a bigger room with ample space for subsequent nights following our request. Rooms and bathrooms are new and clean. Highly recommend this place for price range.

Review 89：The only thing that was an issue was the WiFi cut in and out on occasion.

Review 90：Pretty much everything. The rooms were clean and comfortable. And the staff was first rate all the way.

Review 91：Location, facility, room very small, poor breackfast, no lift at the ground floor so you will have to carry your lugage to the first floor by your own.

Review 92：Clean and good staff

Review 93：The hotel is newly re-decorated, comfortable (although small) rooms, excellent bed, clean, friendly staff. This is a hotel you choose for the location, very convenient, next to trian station, metro and a number of excellent resturants, and not for all the things you can do at the hotel.

Review 94：Not crazy about the location and the wifi was somewhat inconvenient as it required frequent re-entry of new codes.

Review 95：Very clean, very modern, wonderful attentive staff who really seemed to care about your happiness.. Quiet. Near trains and Metro. Some very good restaurants nearby.

Review 96：Wifi worked, but did not stay connected for very long. Hotel computer not easy to use.

Review 97：Friendly, helpful staff. Good location for taxi, bus and train. Walking distance to hop on hop off buses. Good restaurants nearby.

Review 98：Worth staying here just to experience the wonderful and very personal service from super-happy, energetic, always-smiling and lovely staff - Clarisse and her team make this little hotel an oasis !

Review 99：We did not like the internet connection. Wifi level is ok but as other clients said every time you close your device, you should enter the password again. Please change this initial page of connection

Review 100：All the people who work at this hotel was amazing. (Especially people on the reception) they provided almost all our needs in a very short time. The room also was perfect

Review 101：Maybe the souds of other gest opening and closing doors

Review 102：The room, the confortable bed, the cleanliness, the location, the friendly staff, the colour lights at the shower...

Review 103：Though ,there is a lift in the hotel,but the fact that the lift locating on the second floor means you have to carry the baggage upstair a floor before reaching the lift.However,the staffs are very helpful and willing to carry all of the baggages to the lift for you,so it's not a big problem.

Review 104：The location is a pleasure.I was surprised finding that the hotel is just opposite to the gate of gare St Lazare(this gate is near the platform 27),so it's really convenient if you travel by train and also the subway. There are also several fast food restaurants including Asian food,kebab next to the hotel.Finding something to eat couldnt be easier!! The room is clean and nice decorated One thing I appreciate is that I could deposit my baggage here since I had to travel to Honfleur before coming back to Paris again and there aren't any luggages deposit service at Saint Lazare station

Review 105：Like most of Paris hotels - small.

Review 106：Does the basics right for a one night brief stay. Clean well decorated room with individual style. Easy access to central paris.

Review 107：general facilities like reception, coffee shop, dinning area not at all as per the 4 star standard. no health club or other recreation facilities available. just good only for sleep and stay.

Review 108：staff was very pleasent and helpful all times.

Review 109：I can not say bad but Wifi was disconnecting frequently in the room which i stayed in 4th floor, but not a big deal, it worked.

Review 110：Reception, cleanliness of room, Thierry Mugler bathroom products, very in style designed room, large room size and very french style breakfast ( cheeses, croissants, jars, breads and such a tasty coffee) and free of charge buffet in the room.

Review 111：The wifi is a voucher system where you have to retype in a randomly generated username and password every time you get disconnected, which happens often even when browsing. Not the end of the world, but disruptive when trying to get work done.

Review 112：The hotel was centrally located and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooms are a bit small (typical of Paris) but well laid out and comfortable. Very nice beds, great value for the money.

Review 113：Brakfast could be better with wider choice

Review 114：Good location, cleanness of the room, everything in the interior was new and in good condition. The room looks modern and nice.

Review 115：Only one problem was with the heating in the room. Too hot to sleep - could call reception to cool room down, but had to do this each day. Being able to lower the temperature in the room would make the hotel 10 out of 10.

Review 116：Comfortable bed. Great location. Clean. Recently renovated. Wifi. Two steps to St Lazarre Station.

Review 117：Doesn't hAve a lift The room is a little bit noisy

Review 118：Location is good and the hotel is easy to find out through the map. Staffs are nice and helpful.

Review 119：Renewed hotel, good place, because it's near the metro, near the main streets, many restaurants around. Really clean, nice and new, very tasty breakfast. Recommended

Review 120：Nothing negativ

Review 121：Loved our stay here ! The staff is great ! Great room, and comfy beds. The bathroom Was good and everything was brand New. Its great that the metro station is right a cross the street. Lot's of resturants and shops nearby. You can walk to lafayett shopping. Would stay again Next time in Paris.

Review 122：the staff were great the rooms were small but well appointed and spotless the breakfast was very nice with good selection the location is excellent , easy access from airport via train , lots of resturants nearby , a metro supermarket close by and excellent metro access

Review 123：At night, the neighbourhood is freaky with homeless which can be disturbing.

Review 124：The hotel's location is perfect, a short walk to a central metro station.You can travel to almost every must-see place. Walk distance to Madeleine and Concorde. Restaurants are nearby. ıf we travel to Paris again, we will definitely stay here. The staff is helpful and explains everything till the last detail.

Review 125：Came to Paris for the marathon and loved the place ! Rooms are beautiful, location perfect ... Shame the breakfast is expansive ; the staff was very helpful and friendly :) thank you for a great experience ... Will recommend it to friends and family

Review 126：No breakfast with price. I think a four star should include this within the price.

Review 127：Fresh decorations and free bar with water juice etc. the showers excellent

Review 128：Staff was very friendly and accomodating; we are a family of 5 and they put us at the end of the hall in adjoining rooms which was perfect for us; small rooms but very nice; near shopping, opera, very close to metro and gare lazarre train station (easy ride to versailles); wifi was generally reliable

Review 129：Current Building work behind hotel starting early in the morning !

Review 130：Very friendly helpful staff. Beautifully refurbished . Tea coffee free mini bar and wifi . air conditioned rooms . Would definitely stay again

Review 131：The only criticism was the standard of wifi which was slow but maybe I just got unlucky.

Review 132：From setting foot into the hotel to departure the staff were excellent, helpful and attentive. The hotel has been refurbished throughout so all facilities brand new. The quality and standard of the room was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending and would definitely stay there again.

Review 133：The shower was spacious enough but no ledge or bench seat to sit & shave legs, & they did not provide wash cloths. The sink was inside the shower room so if the other person is in there you cannot wash your hand after using the toilet or near the coffee area. Would have been nice if they put a mirror in toilet room & maybe on a wall in main room. There was only a electric water kettle, so you could only have instant coffee in room. The closet cabinet is tiny with about 4 hangars.

Review 134：The beds super comfortable & new. Basically across street from train station. I requested a quiet room & the back or center room not overlooking the busy street was very quiet. The toilet room was separate from room with shower/sink which was good for 2 friends sharing a room & it had lots of natural light with the window in there. You could change the color of lighting over the shower...unnecessary, but cool! The staff was very accommodating & friendly.
