Adagio Access Paris Porte de Charenton Aparthotel 2성

I stayed here for two nights and was startled that the website didn’t provide a true reflection of the hotel or its rooms. The first impressions are not great: the lobby is very busy, and to my eyes, messy. The very professional young man on reception gave me my key for a room. I wanted to leave my passport in the safe and go out immediately but the wardrobe doors were so busted that I had problems getting in to the safe. Once I did, the safe wasn’t working. Back to reception. The young gentleman gave me keys to a second room and once again the safe was not working. Third time lucky, he found me a room with a working safe. He was very patient and kind and I can’t say enough good things about him. My room was very sparsely furnished with a rickety table, a missing bedside table and patchy paintwork. It had all the charm of student accommodation. On the upside, I was pleased not to be overlooking the motorway like I would have been in the first two rooms. Pluses: the bed was very comfy, the room was very quiet, it was clean, had decent WiFi and a hairdryer and aircon. The little kitchen area was useful. About 500 metres each way to metro stations. Please, Accor, keep the wonderful staff but spend some money on this property.

Excellent location and plenty of parking space so we could leave our car and visit the city using public transport. Breakfast essentials of good quality and spacious room with a well-equiped kitchen including a Nespresso machine and good coffee capsules! After a long day visiting the sights it was a welcoming experience to open a good bottle of wine, bake a camembert and warm up a delicious meal we got from the reception deli fridges. On our second night we ventured into local restaurants and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of food outlets. Extreme good value for money.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, staff are great and the metro, restaurants and supermarkets are close by. The room was small but adequate, and suited our needs. Suburban area with family apartments close to the peripherique, our room was at the back looking over the balconies and gardens of an apartment block which was quiet, the front rooms overlook the motorway and city, which is probably a great view at night but potentially noisy. Convenient parking is available. Laundry service is available a block away.

I stayed with my family 4 nights, the staff is really friendly and polite, room was cleaned and beds comfortable. For the price paid you can't expect more , size of the room and forniture are essential. No air conditioner with 35c Celsius is a problem, but fans were provided and I believe that was good money value. I will return.

Pictures on website misleading. Room we had was very dated. Shower cubicle doors didn't close, shower head falling apart and wouldn't stay up. Bed very comfortable though. Aircon didn't work and couldn't open windows as right by the perificeric so far too noisy. Great for metro line 8 to gare du lyon and main attractions. But have to walk through run down area.
