Hotel Aston

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. It is more of a motel than anything. Photos online look charming and very Parisian, which drew us to the hotel in the first place. Plus the price was right. Here were a few things we noticed:
1) AC worked well for us, so I’ll give them that.
2) Balcony was cute and again very Parisian.
3) Rooms were ridiculously small and not very clean. Very musty vibe.
4) The ally leading up to the hotel is very sketchy and has a homeless guy sleeping there every night— which to be fair isn’t within the hotel’s control plus there is another entrance you can use if you’re willing to walk a few extra blocks.

Our stay here almost ruined our time in Paris. We dreaded going back to this hotel after daytime excursions and dinner. If doable, definitely spend a bit more and go to a hotel that is better maintained than this.

Very good location. We stayed in Room 212. There was an unpleasant smell in the room which meant we had to sleep with the balcony doors open. The carpet was dirty, there was a lot of dust in the room, including on the air conditioning outlet meaning we did not want to use the air conditioning. And there was sporadic noise coming from the plumbing. All meaning that for us a very disappointing stay.

Room, location and staff great! I booked an extra night by mistake and told them upon arrival. The manager refused to refund even though I was leaving a day early. Management are greedy, taking money for a night I did not stay. Will never be back, shame as the staff were really nice. Management obviously needed the money more than I did. So greedy!!!
