"worst hotel i have stayed in"
this is the worst hotel i have ever stayed in, a triple room so small that the cot was pushed up against the window, no door lock and no one to repair it. food was very under-par, staff as little as there was, were not helpful at all. area was full of rubbish and building materials. it was that bad that we checked out a day earlier. would not recommend this hotel for a family.

"Friendly helpful staff."
We stayed here one night and being regular visitors to Paris ,over the last 37 years, we were extremely impressed with the standard of the room, and the service we recieved. We were breaking our journey from South of France to England, and the hotel happily stored our cases for several hours befor our return journey.

"Great location,friendly staff and comfortable room"
Close to Cadet metro and minutes walk from good restaurants. Very comfy bed and pillows and good standard of furnishings. Shame about the view- a wall! Adequate breakfast but no wine in the bar!

As we were unable to stay at the Hotel de L`Ocean due to technical problems, we are unable to comment. We were transferred to their sister hotel which was not in the area of Paris where we wished to stay. The Belmont Hotel was acceptable but the transfer by taxi was an experience as the taxi driver did not know the name of the hoel and expected us to pay for the trip. The situation was eventually resolved after an expensive phone call. Not a good start to our short break.

"Very helpful and efficient staff. Very well positioned for centre Paris."
Basic city central hotel. Clean rooms and adequate breakfast. Hotel was too hot except in reception areas and AC not working. Staff were exceptionally helpful. Would recommend as a clean, centrally positioned hotel at an acceptable price.

Good location. Quiet street despite the city centre situation. Rooms OK. Rack rate is expensive for what you get, but that`s Paris for you! Breakfast not bad, but a bit basic.

great position for main sights, friendly staff, quiet side street location, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel de l`ocean . This was our first visit to paris and would use this hotel again. The only gripe if you wanted a view from the window is that the rooms at the back look onto a blank white painted wall

Room was small, but this was due to switching from a twin bed to a double bed. But the room had a better, brighter outlook. Good continental breakfats and staff very friendly and helpful. The lift needs to be repaired.

"The smallest room ever seen but perfectly formed. Very clean and nice showeroom. "
Hotel, clean and well decorated. Lift bit scarey it bounced. Breakfast the bare minumum. Room so small, really the smallest room ever been in but very designed. Nice to have double opening doors in bedroom even if have to close to get in showeroom! Have close to get into bed. Staff ok. Bit of a back street but some nice bars and resterants nearby. Close to tube. Bit of a walk to station futher than stated.

"Mother and teenage daughter"
We found this hotel perfectly adequate for our needs and were pleasantly surprised by the facilities, given the rates charged. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful, speaking excellent English in reply to our faltering French. Our room was clean and bright with comfortable beds and freshly laundered sheets. There was an ensuite bathroom with towels being changed daily. From 07:00 - 11:00 hrs there was a continental breakfast - a little more basic than we would have wished but everything was nicely presented and the waitress was delightful. The hotel is situated in a convenient position, close to Cadet Metro station and near a good selection of brasseries. We found it very easy to get to all the main tourist attractions and felt safe walking about in this area. We would certainly consider staying at this hotel again should we be lucky enough to be able to visit Paris again.

"Great short-break hotel, close to Metro and lively Opera district"

"Pleasant, clean, quiet convenient location near buses and metro, good breakfast."
Most rooms at back (the only ones which are double) face a blank wall. However we moved to the sixth floor where we had a very pleasant room which looked over rooftops. Only problems were poor sound on TV and a shaky unreliable lift, in need of servicing.

"Well situated in a quiet street but within easy distance of Rue Lafayette. Close to amenities."
We have just returned from Paris (24 March 2008) and would definitely revisit the Hotel de L`Ocean. The staff were exceptionally courteous, helpful and friendly and the rooms and public areas of the hotel were bright, clean and well maintained. Rue Mayran is a quiet little cul de sac just yards away from Rue Lafayette and it is less than 5 minutes walk from Cadet Metro station. It is a pleasant walk from the hotel to Sacre Coeur and Galleries Lafayette/Opera house. Only improvement I would make is a little more variety at breakfast. Other than that, a super 3* hotel.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was a little way from the tourist areas but close to the Cadet Metro station. Breakfast was very good and the room cleaned daily however, there was insufficient wardrobe space which was really the only downside.

"Very clean, friendly centrally positioned hotel."
My daughter and I enjoyed staying here. The staff were very helpful with advice on where to eat and how to get around Paris. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean and what you would expect for the price paid.

"nothing to write home about...."
Unfortunately when we arrived the room wasnt ready and had all the dirty glasses, bedding and towels from the last guests in the room. We did tell reception but when we got back four hours later it still hadnt been made up and we got moved to another room. The facilities are adequate enough and breakfast was fine... we werent too sure whether the guy on the front desk was alive... not the smilest of characters !!! watch out for the lift as well ... the door shuts whether you standing in its way or not , bumpy ride and it actually stopped working while we were there! you can store your luggage when you check out but no system of recording what you have so dont leave anything valuable behind ! reasonable location, right near rue la fayette... walk down to it and get a taxi rather than ordering one from the hotel, they charge you extra for a phone order

"Bargain"
I booked online and only paid ?40 a night with free breakfast. I stayed for 2 nights. Rooms were very clean, and the femmes de ménages were excellent leaving clean towels and loo rolls every day. The day we checked out happened to be a day of the train strikes and the hotel reception staff weren`t very helpful in trying to help us reach the airport. This was my first time in Paris, and although I could speak French, I felt stranded as nobody could help us. Apart from the horrible "France on strike" experience, the hotel was excellent, however I wouldn`t say that it was worth anymore than ?40 a night.

"Room allocation problems despite confirmed bookings"
In 3 stays, 1st we were moved to another hotel (taxi at our cost), 2nd was ok, 3rd they didn`t have the booking but managed to fit us in. Not impressed. Rooms average.

"Quiet, Clean, Personal and Pleasant"
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room was clean and quiet, the staff were very pleasant and personal and overall we loved our stay. In 24 hours we saw every major landmark in Paris thanks to the hotels great location. So near to the metro station "Cadet" we found access to everywhere extremly easy. I`d reccomend the hotel to my friends and family.. that should say it all.

"Good overall 3 Star Accomodation, Friendly ,Clean & Tidy"
Hotel was a good base for our stay in Paris - useful for Gard Du Nord train station and Pigalle where we saw Moulin Rouge. Concierge was helpful with booking taxis and giving direction. Hotel Breakfast was very basic & not very well stocked bar - other than this a pleasant stay for budget accomodation.

We were not impressed with the lift in this hotel. It was dangerous. It dropped as you got in and it closed before we all got in the lift. Two of my company were injured. One reported her injury to the hotel staff. She had a badly swollen arm.
