Grand Hotel du Loiret

This hotel was appalling, We had chosen this hotel because it appeared fairly central to Paris, not far from Notre Dame. We paid almost £200.00per night for room only and the room was tiny. Thankfully we were only booked in there for 3 nights so were travelling light but there still wasn't enough wardrobe space for 2 days clothes. The bed was small and uncomfortable, there was regular noise pollution for the adjoining room including a 2am argument on our last night. The bed was clean, but mattress was uncomfortable. The only thing I would consider acceptable was the bathroom space. There was a bar across the road from the room . We had to keep the windows open because the hotel didn't have air conditioning. The bar stayed open until around 2am every night, Tues -Thurs was our stay duration. Every night there were around 50 bar patrons who would just stand in the street below our window talking loudly and this went on until the bar shut at 2am. Even thought our room was on the fifth floor, the noise made sleep impossible until long after the bar had closed To top it all off, the hotel claimed we had caused damages to the room, which we had not. they took an extra £42 from my account without permissions to pay for the damages. Then when I submitted a bad review on the original booking site, doubled that and took another £84, a total of £126 I am currently talking to lawyers about the legality of these alleged damage payments. I would avoid this hotel if you like a decent size room and a good night sleep, and if you dont want additional money taken from your accounts after you leave. I will never again book an independent hotel. I will be sticking to chain hotels from now on where the beds are comfortable, rooms are not overpriced and you are treated like a human being.
