Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel du Cygne Paris

The stairs are lethal. It smelt like a drain,

We have decided that if you don't want to spend a minimum of $400 Can. per night in Paris, then don't expect much. Upon entering the lobby a horrible smell overtook us. When I asked what it was, we were told it was a sewage leak of some sort. I just hoped that it wasn't in our room (which it was not...thank goodness). The room was very small but it was clean. Unfortunately, it was very noisy as the street was directly below our window. As is usually the case, the pictures on the website are quite misleading. The best thing about this hotel is the location. In about 6 or 7 blocks, you are standing on one of the bridges crossing the Seine and can see the Eiffel Tower...gorgeous!

The location of hotel was very good. Area had lots of restaurants with only people traffic during the day.The hotel was having an issue with sewer smell in the lobby and hallways. Very small shower and moldy. So not the cleanest. Very noisy outside the hotel at night.

I did not like the area, the rooms were dirty. No elevator and super high floors that I had to carry my luggage totally unacceptable. For the amount I paid per night for two rooms. Is ridiculous. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Very well located Small hotel Very friendly staff

Paris is always expensive, especially pre-Olympics, so I knew with a budget trip of one day and a half I had to find something simple and well localized. Hotel du Cygne delivers that, no more, no less - I got a decent small bedroom, reasonably well cleaned with a tiny (I’m 5’7’’ and I kept hitting the walls when showering) bathroom. It’s an old building with lots of carpet so be aware of that if you’re allergic. Breakfast for €8 is not really worth it: stale baguette and croissant with a glass of industrialized juice and some coffee. The free wifi doesn’t work very well. But at least most of people were kind and gave me good local advice and the bedroom was quiet and what I needed to rest between flights.

Shower was very small, otherwise ok place to sleep in central Paris.

The location is great. Walkable to so much, and metro a quick 3-4 minute walk in the mall. However, there is NO AIR CONDITIONING, so we were sweating all night long for 3 hot nights. Can't keep the single window open either, since it's over the loud hookah lounge right under us, with people yelling and music blaring till 2:00 a.m. every night. There is a small fan, which just circulates hot air. The window also happens to be directly under a building light, so shines onto the bed in your face, unless curtains drawn shut. The double room is tiny, just 2 of us could barely turn around, but even that is manageable if not for the odd shaped bathroom, where you sit on the toilet pressed to the wall. No wash cloths, or tissues, or shampoo/conditioner provided either. One hand towel for 2 people, and two regular bath towels (on the smaller side). However, the owners are nice and provide good directions. There is always hot water and good water pressure. They vacuum/tidy the room daily. And the location is the most convenient for touring the city.

Good location but noisy at night

Perfect location and friendly personel.

The hotel is located in an incredible position with access to the metro, trains, busses and is within walking distance to some many restaurants and attractions.

It is a charming older hotel with no elevator, and some pretty tight and hazardous staircases with lots of turns on not recommended for people who don’t do tricky stairs well. The area has a lot to offer in terms of cranberries and restaurants, and it is only a three minute walk to the shuttle lay lays all shopping area in transit the room was the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in at a hotel and I have been traveling for an airline for 38 years so that does say something.

good location

Had a great stay. Convenient location. The room was ready extremely early and they allowed me to leave my baggage in the lobby after checkout so I could enjoy the day before my train left.

Wonderful attentive staff!

Really enjoyed my stay! Small but clean and comfortable room with a kind staff in a good area! Only issue is I find it strange that I have to turn my key in every time I left, made me kind of scared of someone going in my room

Cozy hotel close to restaurants and shops. Very clean room and bathroom, a small TV (ok in beautiful Paris), good breakfast value

Quaint little hotel so close to metro, Westfield, cafes and museums. Bathroom was very small but sufficiently clean.

Its really accessible to the city and close to shops and mall, close to metropolitan

The good points were....Central location with many attractions, restaurants and shops very nearby. Very helpful staff who spoke English. Option of good continental breakfast. Excellent value for Central Paris. Points that may concern some travellers....Very old building with poor sound proofing in bedrooms (which are very small). Bedding could do with being updated. However for our short stay was overall satisfactory.
