Hôtel Libertel Gare de L'Est Français

Nice clean hotel close to subway and train station, ideal for travelers. Helpful personal and supermarket next door. Romm is equipped with coffee machine and small fridge which was grandly appreciated in summer day to keep some water fresh when coming back in the room

Unfortunately my stay here was tainted by the incredibly rude staff (one man in particular) who acted as though they were doing you a huge favour by responding to your queries. You also have to queue for ages to speak to someone as there's only ever one person on the counter. The hotel itself is small and basic, the rooms are like your standard Travelodge except smaller and perhaps more basic. Despite its central location, Gare de l'Est is not a very nice area of Paris. There are definitely vastly better hotels you can get for a much cheaper rate.

When I arrived that day I got stuck because no metro runs to Gare de l'Est hikkss...but with all of my euphoria on my holiday in Paris, I can escape from the stuck and the stranded at Chatelet Metro station (getting down from metro line 14 who runs without driver). Luckily it is easy to find Police around, I asked the way to go to Gare de l'Est and in fact it's very very easy just turn right and walk straight along the main street until end. Thanks God that the Libertel Gare de l'Est Hotel just few meters after the BK, wow very near and easy to find. First when I arrived at the hotel, I feel so tired but the receptionist, Mr. Shamim, is really kind, welcome and helpful. And because after got a hard time by the metro strike I suddenly feel safe in this hotel and comfortable too, finally arrived. Thus shortly, the location for me is super strategic! the bus stop and the metro station is just few meters away, also the Asian restaurant just across the street, BK and McD just around the corner, the supermarket just next door, pharmacy just across the street, many eateries around contained local food, middle east food, etc, a lot! also the international train station Gare de l'Est is just across the street! Perfect location for me. Bus number 32 could carry you to Eifel Tower and you can even walking until Notredame and river seine, to Leningrad also. Montmatre, Moulin Rouge also only took the bus in the bus stop nearby the Hotel doorstep. I'm lucky to stay in Libertel because of Metro strike and the hotel location is super, fit in with my needs. The bus (though full) still running, thus no worries about the metro strike. You even can walk to Galeries Lafayette, Opera Building, Hard Rock Cafe from the hotel, used Moovit apps to help you find the way. Back to the hotel review, the room is nice not too big but we still have space! I have no complaints and I like got the room facing to the street so I can look the situation over the window, there is a kettle with coffee/tea, bathroom amenities is also provided. Breakfast is also nice and have some variety and at least there is a hot stuff on the buffet as outside was cold brrr...well, it's enough for our stomach until lunch for sure! Wifi is also good no worries Mr. Shamim, the receptionist help us to call a taxi to Paris Bercy Seine station and it's not too far just about 4,5km from the hotel which is good we don't deal with the traffic and time constraint, etc. Well, I definitely will stay here again if I back to Paris next time but hope no more metro strike please.....Merci beacoup Libertel Gare de l'Est

Seemed nice room, comfy mattress. But thousand of ant crawling into the bath and room. There seemed an ant hole in the corner of the bath. I told the counter and they changed my room to where smaller than before and heating system was not working. I told the counter but they just let me wait. So I had to wait till the last of my staying in coldness. The man who came to my room for checking heater smelled terrible, so I had to open a window in midnight to let fresh air in. Also, I found the cup I used at the first day still remained till the last day of may staying. Never recommend this hotel.

Thank you we had a lovely stay breakky was yummy and was close to everything thank you again loved the way the staff spoke English and helped us out as much as they could the room was very small but we got used to it tho the fridge didn’t work when we arrived but I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked the heating is up to high but that’s ok cause we turned it down and open the window
