Hotel Excelsior Republique

the room and the bathroom is old and just another place to stay . nothing special for the those. but what i love most is the people who works there. the front office, the house keeping , everyone. they do not speak a very good english but i cam understand them, but how they act when you need help and how they willing to assist you is super top! and rhe way they do their job, even 5 stars hotels staff could not beat them. the surounding is great! restaurants, all kinda food is available with a local pricing! love them so much for these! and most of all the subway station is just 5 minutes away on both end of the road! this is not a fancy hotel, even i think it is too much for the price. but i dont care, since the people and the surounding is super cool! fully recommended to people who wanna stay a cheap and decent place in paris with a great surounding!

Was given a very small room with a double bed against one side of the wall... an interior room with a view of a breathing air court ...with disheveled paint on the exterior walls. The bathroom had a very small shower stall with plastic curtain. When I complained to the reception the night receptionist told me to speak to reception in the morning...when I did speak to the morning reception was told the room I saw and reserved...was a cheaper one ...not the ones on the front side...but on Expedia..it did not distinguish the two kinds so as for me to take the room pictured on the reservation...They were full on that weekend so I stayed put in the substandard room.

Upon arriving the receptionist told me that the tried four times to charge my creditcard to pay for the room and that they were unsuccesful. Which is weird since i don't have a creditcard and paid via PayPal. Luckily the receptionist sorted things out. My room was a single room with a queensize bed. The room was very small but that didn't bother me. Bathroom was clean, shower is nice. Bed was comfy. Staff was very friendly. The only disappointment was that the wifi is practically non-existing. They do offer it and your device will connect but (at least in my room) the signal was terrible.

We ended up leaving the hotel. Once we checked in, we were told we were on the 6th floor. The elevator only goes to the 5th. The room looked like it haven't been cleaned, crumbs under the bed, bathroom was aged. Once we removed the covers to check the sheets, we found hairs on two of the beds. The outlet / plug was broken - didn't stay in the wall. Overall not a clean place to stay.

Uncomfortable bed as well as bed stains, the bathroom was very small, but most importantly the room itself was incredibly small. Bu the worst thing that happened to us, was that in the morning, we got knocked on the door telling us that there won't be water for 30 minutes due to repairs. But the promised 30 minutes ended up being 2.5 hrs. We wasted a whole day because we couldn't shower. The staff wasn't very friendly and the cleaning lady kept wanting us to leave the room because she had to clean.
