“Adequate room made better by delightfully friendly staff! ”

We spent 2 nights at the hotel and it was an okay experience, adequate! I had been gifted a Virgin Experience City Break voucher which I chose to use at Hôtel Espace Champerret. We researched the hotel online and felt that it looked very good from the website information and it seemed ideal for our purposes. The hotel has a great location, it’s a few metres away from Louise Michel Metro Station with shops and restaurants nearby. First off, I must commend all the staff for their hospitality. They were wonderful, all very friendly and helpful, truly most welcoming. All staff spoke English to some degree, some fluently although we did attempt some basic French out of respect and good manners for our hosts. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant and there’s no tea/coffee service in the rooms which was a shame. Our room (a ground floor room with a terrace) was tidy enough on arrival although it was a tad dusty, there wasn’t a mini bar in the room as expected however we discovered that this was kept in the reception area but it didn’t have much to offer. Also, the room door to the terrace was locked so although we could see the terrace, we couldn’t access it. We had a window that we could open but we noticed a large rat trap directly beside the window so we chose to leave that locked! Breakfast choices are quite extensive for a buffet style breakfast. Lots of fresh bread, croissants, sweet cake on offer as well as three types of cereal, an array of yogurt, preserves and a large selection of cheese/cold meats. As well as a hot drinks machine for coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, hot water for teas etc. There was also a large selection of fresh juice, iced water and teas from Earl Grey to French Breakfast Teas. The breakfast room is small but nicely decorated. Breakfast is from 7am to 10am and the breakfast staff on hand were welcoming and friendly. The room we stayed in, (Room1) was a small standard, it was dark and in need of some love and attention regarding decorating. We had two side lamps and one slightly larger which needed to be on during the day when we were in the room for brightness. The pillows were very firm and pretty low quality in-fact, I woke both mornings with an uncomfortable headache. As mentioned before, the room did not come with any sort of tea or coffee services, just 2 glasses on the desk, sitting on a paper napkin! It was just all a little basic! Furthermore, they have this unusually strange policy where you need to leave your key at reception when you leave the hotel, I don’t think that this is so cleaners can access it as the reception staff all had copies of the room keys…it felt very odd! We did have our room cleaned while we were out and it was fine, they did a decent job even addressing the dust that had been missed previously. The en-suite was again small and basic, the shower head didn’t stay in it’s holder and tended to slip down the pole so you had to hold it to shower also the hose itself was in need of replacement as it was frayed and worn away. Soap and shower/hair wash were also provided, which were nicely scented. Two paper cups were provided for rinsing teeth and towels were fresh and clean. Realistically, we only needed the room to sleep in so it was adequate, it would have been nice if we could have made a hot drink in the room on our return from our day out. The location was perfect for us to wonder around the city and we enjoyed our visit to Paris, the people are most welcoming and friendly, it’s certainly a vibe and we will return. However, all that being said, we would certainly consider another stay at Hôtel Espace Champerret if we were not on the ground floor and in a different room.

“Mid experience but C’est la Vie! ”

We spent 3 nights at the hotel and we think we had a mid experience. The hotel has a great location, it’s a couple metres away from the metro station and there are a wide range of shops and restaurants around. The room was clean upon arrival, the hotel has a terrace in the lobby and the breakfast choices are quite extensive for a dry breakfast. Perhaps we encountered some issues during our stay; upon arrival we only found a half use roll of toilet paper and that’s it. The rooms are small and dark, even though they offer 2 side lamps and a main lamp, you still struggle to see during the day unless you have your curtains open, which isn’t the best as you face directly other residents of the house in front. To not mention the shades of the lamps were broken. The pillows are very low quality, especially the decoration pillows that look like they broke and got sewed back together, on top of that they do not get washed after each customer, they just get thrown on the floor while the cleaner cleans the room and then puts it back on the bed for next guest! The room does not come with any sort of tea or coffee services, only 2 glasses on the desk that are sitting on a crinkled paper napkin! Clearly used for the previous guest. Also, they do not offer a cooked breakfast but only a dry breakfast, which i guess is understandable since the hotel does not have a restaurant. Furthermore, they have this weird policy where you need to leave your key at reception when you leave the hotel so that cleaners can clean it. We didn’t feel like doing so, as we had valuables in the room and there is no safe, so we opted for not getting our room cleaned. But realistically at the end of the day we only need to sleep in the room and the location was perfect for us to roam around all day and come back so tired that all this didn’t even matter.
