Aparthotel Adagio access La Défense Léonard de Vinci

The day before arriving I received a telephone call to tell me that the hotel had overbooked and I would be in a superior hotel, Adagio La Défense Le Parc. When I arrived I found the room cold so I turned the heating to maximum. After one hour I call the reception to be told that the heating did not work and I had activated the air-conditioning! Well, I could have been informed about the problem on arrival. My TV did not work well. Kept cutting off.

The room was clean but somewhat care worn. The disappointment was the kitchenette facilities: a cubbie hole with a sink and twin ceramic hob plates crammed side by side. A coffee maker that had to sit on the integral draining board for lack of space. Neither hob plates functioned - they warmed up to a comfortable hand temperature! No cork screw and not enough cutlery for 4 persons - lucky that we were only 2. There was a microwave with grill facility but never used that. The fridge offered adequate storage and worked well. Washing up liquid and tea was provided. However, the room description said that there would be kitchen essentials sure as salt and pepper - there wasn't. I had never stayed in the La Defense area before, this was a late booking and I took what was available. I will never stay in the area again - not too far out using the RER but little in the way of restaurants and eateries or anything else (I am talking about the local area and not the esplanade). I given it an average for value as it was inexpensive for Paris but I would not recommend either La Defense or this particular Adagio. This does not put me off Adagio as there are better quality aparthotels through out Paris.

The fan and the fridge were so noisy that I hardly slept. I had to unplug the fridge. In addition, there were no pans to fry anything. Otherwise, wifi speeds are decent enough. For the price, it was overall okay.

Very small rooms and kitchenette is very basic and found it claustrophobic. i would not visit again very conveniently located from hotels and metro. staff are courteous but not informative enough. pricy for the quality of accommodation

The apartment was clean and well maintained. The staff at front desk was polite and helpful. The place is walking distance form the La Defense station and has a nice super store close by. However for a family of 4, you may want to consider the facilities in Kitchenette. The requirement for 4 is much more than 1 or 2.
