greet Hotel Paris Nord 18ème

Having travelled from England as a tourist, the location of this hotel is not exactly central. But here’s the thing, they do not advertise that they are. Plus, the transport links are great (until around midnight.) Take the Metro to Porte De La Chapelle and it’s a five/ten min walk from there. (I felt there is not much for tourists to see or do in this area.) (Approximately 45 minutes Metro to Eiffel Tower.) The reception staff are friendly and happy to resolve your requests, such as grabbing an extra pillow for the bed. Or providing me with a corkscrew. The rooms are simple - again, they state that they are, hence the fantastic price. One bed, one desk, one chair, one shower cubicle, one toilet cubicle, a sink, a mini-open wardrobe and some coat hooks. That’s all. As expected, there are no kettle or hot drink facilities in the room, but this isn’t a problem because you can always grab one from the mini-bar downstairs at reception, where they are more than happy to serve you. Besides, you should save the water, and drink the beautiful French wine instead. What was surprising, was the super comfortable UK king sized bed and the ultra convenient, multiple USB charge ports around the room (so no need for a plug converter!). I enjoyed my stay, I am grateful for the team’s hospitality, and the next time I’m looking for a simple, straightforward, budget friendly hotel, I’ll be checking their availability! Thank you for a great stay!

Honestly it’s not as bad people are making it out to be. Is it a budget accommodation? yes. Is the hotel clean? yes. That’s all I can really ask for. The beds were comfy and clean, and they provided towels and such. Breakfast was decent as well. What was annoying? The windows didn’t open, if you have 3 people the room might be right. And yeah the area the hotel is in sucks. but is it the worst place in the world? no. is it a luxury hotel? no.

It was the worst experience in a hotel, and we travel quite often. Besides the location walking from metro through group of gangs on streets on construction, AC in the room was damaged all our stay, Although in the reception it was working quite good. So every day I asked if they fixed the ac, but no luck. It was better to sleep in the lobby. They were kind enough to recommend us to sleep with the opened window. Mind blowing idea as the hotel is next to a highway and other speed streets and all the night you would hear cars/engines so sleepless night for sure in summer. And on top of the heat, i had difficulties sleeping as i was scratching a lot and found little bugs in the bed. That was it for me. I think air bnb is a better option when all you have as an option are these kind of hotels.

We are still waiting to hear from the hotel, but can't get our emails or phone calls returned. We stayed 2 nights, in 2 rooms (we are a family of 5, so had to split up into 2 rooms). Unfortunately when we returned to our rooms after a day of sightseeing our children's room had been cleared out by housekeeping and our belongings had been removed. After several of hours of searching that night and the next morning, we managed to track down most of our items in a variety of places, except for my daughters beloved stuffed sheep which she has had since she was a baby. She is devastated. The hotel promised they would ask the housecleaner who cleaned the room when they came in the next morning, but we have had no update, and can't get a response back.

The wrong bed on arrival (a double when a twin had been confirmed) with a refusal to alter. The room itself stunk of cigarettes, and I discovered the smoke alarm had been blocked by a previous occupant, rendering the room illegal and dangerous to stay in. This was not corrected by the hotel staff over two days stay. Hotel has since ignored my complaint. I paid double the usual room rate as there was a football game on. I will never go near a Greet/IBIS again.
