Best Western Premier Faubourg 88

I have been here last week for 1 night for a quick business trip. I received a welcome mail after booking whereas they asked for some informations/details (time of arrival, special request,etc), not too many,just the right amount, it was a nice little touch, appreciated. I arrived around 20:00, booking was fast and professional, made a request and it was satisfied immediately, much appreciated. Room is typical smaller parisien size, nice decor, modern, good,clean and spacious bathroom with rainshower. Air conditioned was working perfectly, welcome due to 30 & more degrees outside. Some minor details in the bathroom coule be improuved, but the price/ service is outstanding, and the management was always efficient when needed. Hotel itself is located just next to poissonniere subway stop, a close walk to opera, and just next to Gare du Nord et Est, Recommended. less

Due to the Women's Football World-cup and other events, the room rate was unfortunately outrageous for this level of facility. The room switch of room 104 was broken and only temporarily work when the front person hit the wall around the switch so hard. less

Very tiny rooms, awful service, bad smell in loby, simple breakfast Not recommended Break fast room was really small and messy and when we ask them too make up, they just smile!!! Very very tiny rooms with really bad ventilation I was really happy to leave this 4 star!! Hotel less

Everything about this hotel is pretty good apart from breakfast which was a disgrace! The location is good being around 10 minutes from the Gare du Nord and in a quiet rosd by a metro station. The welcome was very friendly and the receptionist was really pleasant. Rooms were reasonable sized and the beds comfortable. It was quiet and we had a good night's sleep. There are many pleasant restaurants nearby so dinner was not a problem. We were within walking distance of the Sacre Coeur so there was a lot to do nearby. UNFORTUNATELY breakfast was terrible! The room is too small for the hotel and when we arrived there were no free tables. The lady in charge did not help by suggesting that several tables would be free soon and showed no interest in us at all. Eventually a table for four became available so the five of us in the party sat down and borrowed a chair from another table. After a wait, the lady in charge started laying places for four even though there were five of us. The food itself was OK but the most shocking thing was that when some other tables became empty, no-one cleared the tables and laid them again. The lady in charge chatted to her friend in the kitchen and did nothing. When further guests arrived for breakfast they were greeted by dirty tables! It was only with great huffing and puffing that they were cleared. And FINALLY to add insult to injury, my wife asked for another cup of breakfast tea. We had already paid 14 Euros and usually you can get a second cup of tea. NOT HERE. The lady asked my wife for a further 4 Euros. My wife speaks good French so this was clearly not a misunderstanding. Next time we will go out to breakfast...or more likely never go back. less

I stayed here twice and I will never stay here again. The staff were good, but that's about it. The room was clean, but the bed was at a slope, though there was a dip, so that I didn't slide all the way out the bed. The pillows were so soft that they offered no support at all. The breakfast was basic to say the least. less
