Apart Hotel Centre de Paris by Studio prestige

The one thing we appreciated was the free laundry in the basement. The rest felt like a cheap remodel, especially the bathroom. The toilet took about ten seconds to flush each time, and the raised shower leaked because its door wouldn’t close all the way. Using the shower was confusing too. The water sometimes got insanely hot, and it was hard to find a comfortable setting between hot and cold.

We stayed with our family of four, kids aged 7 and 9, over a long weekend and loved having this as our base. The rooms were renovated around mid to late 2023, as of when I’m writing, with lovely modern decor. Everything was very clean. It’s in a charming neighborhood near Marais, and I’d definitely recommend it.

They put me in a ground-floor apartment that isn’t even shown in the photos. It was a filthy apartment building, and the place was so dark that you had to turn on the lights to see if it was bright. When I mentioned it, they said, “Oh, how embarrassing,” but then told me no other apartments were available. The apartment was incredibly cramped and completely unsuitable for a family of four. There wasn’t even space for a coat or bag, and we couldn’t open the window for fresh air. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Even one star feels too generous.

The service was good, and the apartment had nice decor and felt cozy. Ours had heating, one bedroom, an open-plan living room and kitchen, and a bathroom. We booked for three nights. The cleanliness was appalling. There were hairs on the towels and on the sheets of both beds, as well as in the bathroom. It was disgusting. Apart from that, it was fine.
