Grand Hôtel de l'Europe

Front desk people were kind. But there were bed bugs. We asked to switch rooms, and we were moved and did not see bed bugs in the new room. We did not stay a second night. Too bad because the room looked nicer than we expected. Wish we didn’t have to deal with this.

It’s an affordable hotel that is clean and very central. Most metro stations are very close, one is right next to the hotel. The main train stations are very close by (including Eurostar). We stayed on the sixth floor, which has a fantastic view (you can even see the Eiffel Tower). The room was cleaned on a daily basis. There is a 24 hour reception, which is great if you want to check in late/ leave the keys. We had options to leave our luggage before and after arrival (check-in). Additionally, there is an elevator that takes you all the way up to your room. The private bathroom has a shower and fresh towels were provided every day. We walked to all of the main attractions as Paris isn’t that big. The hotel has a great public transport connection to Disneyland as well. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and will give you advice if you need it. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend the hotel! Info: I read that some reviews mentioned that the area doesn’t seem safe. It is a train station area and almost every big city can be quite busy close to train stations, so yeah, you will see lots of homeless people that might ask you for money, however, there’s nothing wrong with that. The area is probably one of the more affordable location for Parisian, which we as Londoners can relate to. We had no bad encounter, and no one tried to steal our money, you will be absolutely fine! If you come from a big city like we do, you won’t have any issues. Again, most attractions are close by and the main roads take you directly to your destination.
