Hôtel le Compostelle

Very central location in The Marais, close to Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame and the Seine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was on the first floor with street view. There was a fair bit of noise from the bar opposite plus general street noise. On the second night I could also hear music from another room most likely above me up until 1am. The room itself was a double with bath and was clean and pleasant although quite warm as no air conditioning. There was a kettle. I had to request English breakfast tea and milk to be replenished each day and small paper cups for tea were not great. Hairdryer attached to bathroom wall not great and not many amenities available. Bathroom had soap and a combined shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. No shower cap or tissues. All in all it was ok but not somewhere I’d stay again.

Definitely not the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I made my booking through ***********, and believe me when I say that they used pics to make this attractive. The room was so small with no natural light. I could barely move in the shower. There was a fan that felt like it was using the last to blow nothing. I asked for another room but the gentleman said they had no rooms available. I could not sleep night 1 and explained this to the manager on duty. He told me to wait for his manager in the morning. She then upgraded me at a cost. She (Oxana) was nice though. Where the room suddenly came from at that hour of the morning, I don't know. The staff were not pleasant. On Day 2, in the afternoon, we met up at my hotel and wanted to exchange gifts, but the grumpy receptionist would not let my friend in saying that only two people were allowed????? In broad daylight, not to stay. Also, you have to leave your key at reception and ring the bell when you're back from a night out. When i Anyway, the location is amazing, but I would NOT recommend it. It's old and ugly with rude staff and set in the last century. I didn't manage to get pics, but these are a few. The one with the bed is the upgraded room! The plug shows you that there's a kettle but nowhere to plug it in. The other one is part of my first room and it's taken from the bed.
