Appart'Hotel Vacancéole Paris Quai de Marne - Ex Adagio

Do NOT arrive at this hotel after 8 PM ! There will be no reception, and yes entry is still possible if you have a telephone and patience. So you are stuck outside the door, then a remote "receptionist" (serving more than one hotel) will eventually give you codes and tell you what to do. Once inside, the room was OK , but forget the simple overpriced breakfast, much better to go to a local shop, and use the kitchen in your room to make your own. First and last time to stay in a hotel like this.

Wow Cher - no access Was glad we paid a upgrade with the wowcher provider for earlier flights as was a long way from airport to hotel . So we arrived at the hotel at 9pm after a day in the city to find the hotel has a intercom system and needs a code to access just as we thought no one was answering the door a couple came back to the hotel from a day out and we explained we have a room but no codes to get in they went to some safe box and found about 10 envelopes and we found ours and that was it . Didn't see reception at all. On request for wowcher deal we had asked for a twin room because we are friends sharing not couple we had a double bed and because there was no reception we couldn't amend this . I do not recommend wowcher deal or hotel

For the price I thought I couldn’t really complain. However, our shower was unusable - I was in the shower for around 5-10 minutes and realised the shower leaked and flooded the whole bathroom and bedroom. My husband and I ended up cleaning this ourselves and then had to move rooms. They staff didn’t really apologise for this - some of our clothes were on the floor and so ended up very damp. We were here for a wedding so thank god we hung up our wedding clothes and they didn’t get wet. The shower needs to be looked at if it is suitable as reading past reviews I can see a few people mentioning this. The hotel is cheap and is in a good location - once the window is closed you can’t hear the traffic but it is very close to the busy road (literally overlooking). The air con was broken throughout the entire building as well.

We stayed here in June 2024 for 4 nights as our base for a first visit to Paris. Upon arrivial on our first day, we found the reception door locked, even though it was during reception hours, but a quick buzz on the intercom and we were let in and greeted by a friendly lady. We had a truly terrifying moment when she could not find our booking (we had taken a print out of our confirmation) either with the confirmation number or the name of the booking, thankfully though she found it eventually! In terms of the room, we were on the second floor, with a view out over to the river and as others have said the road too. We found no issues with road noise, in fact, despite being able to see it, we could not really hear it from inside the room. Granted we kept the window closed the whole time, but that was because the Air conditioning unit, did a perfect job of keeping the room at an ok temperature. Our room was clean and the facilities in the appartment, were as we hoped and expected. We had a microwave, a fridge with an ice box, two hobs and plenty of plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery for the two of us. There was also a chopping board, a bread knife and bottle opener, alongside washing up liquid, a tea towel and a sponge. It was a slight shame not to be in a position to eat together, we had two chairs and a table and a desk, but we had to each sit and eat at one on our own. There was a wardrobe in the room, with plenty of space and coat hangers. The bed was comfy and there were two spare pillows in the wardrobe, which was a nice touch. My only slight criticism is although the bedding was clean, it had seen better days. There was a tear down the side of the duvet and a few questionable stains, that could have benefited from a hot wash and some stain remover. They weren't dirty but they could have looked better. The bathroom was a good space, the shower worked fine, the toiletries were fine and we had spare toilet roll in the bathroom cupboard. I couldn't get the heated towel rail to work but that was the only bathroom issue. I really liked that there was a closeable door between the living space and the hallway leading to the bathroom and main door. It meant you had a bit more of a noise blocker to the hallway and that if someone got up in the middle of the night, the bathroom light did not dominate the whole room. For those in other reviews who state this is in a poor location, we did not find that at all! RER Line E, is a 5 minute walk away and RER Line A is a 15 minute walk away. The trains are regular and we explorded pretty much the whole of Paris from here! We went to Notre Dame, Les invalides, Eiffel tower, Arc de triomphe, Champs d'elysee, Eglise saint Eustasche, Opera House, Louvre, Saint chapelle and Sacre coeur! All from those two lines as our starting point. If your willing to walk a short distance, it's really not an issue at all! The only other transport we used was the Batobus so that we could experience that. Near both l
