Hotel Quartier des Spectacles

Honestly, after reading some of the scathing reviews about this place (that I read *after* booking), I felt compelled to leave my own! For context, this was a last-minute booking, and I am a solo female French-speaking traveller. The good: the location is excellent, the price was good, and it was cleaner than I expected. I didn't see any bugs, mice, or dirt, at least not in my room ("queen superior"). I didn't spend any time in the common areas, which seemed run-down, but not as filthy as some reviews would indicate. The meh: the bed wasn't comfortable, the breakfast was basically wonder bread and some stale cereal, and the TV doesn't get many channels (if you only speak English, you'll have about 3 channels to choose from). None of these were a big deal for me. The bad: The lock on the door seems really flimsy, and overall the security is questionable. There is one person working the desk, and sometimes guests leave the main door ajar so just anyone could walk in. Pretty sure there are a few people who just straight-up live here. It's a sad vibe, like you're staying in a Darren Aronofsky movie. Overall, you get what you pay for. It's for sure sketchy and I wouldn't hurry to stay here again, but it's not the hellhole that some reviews suggest.

Really nice and friendly. Challenging to find but all good

No elevator and the worst bed ever!!’

The vibe was good

I suggest more options on breakfast to the guesses thank you! And also the protective mattress cover to be cleans

Lovely team & very central. You need to navigate stairs, so give it a miss if you have mobility issues or trouble carrying luggage up steps. It wasn't a lux hotel, but it was clean and my room was big. I was there for a Friday and Saturday during the summer.. the Friday night was quite loud due to the club next door (so bring earplugs just in case), but the Saturday night was quiet.

My stay in this hotel is very good. Very close to places to eat and transportation.

This was by far one of the worst hotel stays we've ever had. The room was filthy — the mattress was heavily stained, the sheets had marks, and we even found a used Q-tip on the floor. The room was not cleaned properly, and it clearly didn’t match the pictures or description online. We were so uncomfortable we had to sleep over the blanket and used a shirt to cover our pillows because it felt too dirty to touch. We couldn't even make it through the night and ended up leaving at 5 AM. This is NOT a family-friendly hotel, and I would strongly advise against booking here. Totally unacceptable hygiene and false advertising. We have photos too bad we can post it on there .

Very good accommodations for the price and location. The breakfast offering was minimalist but it was there. I would stay again.

The hotel is very old and is more like a hostel, than a hotel. Good luck getting a room with air conditioning that works!

Very clean and nice location

Sink in room was gross , shower curtains stained as well

Close to many places.

Great location. Very affordable. Difficult to enter property with narrow staircase. Would definitely stay there in the future.

This is not the Hotel I will recommend to anyone even if it is free. The rooms offered were on Third floor after you climb few steps. No elevators and no help to move your bags Then the rooms do not have an attached bathroom !!!! You are told to share it with other gusts. The carpet and bedsheets and towel looks lake used and never cleaned . Very very unclean . Never again

Very well located, clean, and weel maintained. I just would not recommend it for people who have trouble sleeping in noisy areas.

Noisy, no fridge, old building. Location is good

Positives: Great central location and near bus stops and a metro station. Staff were friendly, and price was great compared to other hotels in the area. Room was quiet and had air conditioning (I requested a room at the back of the building). Negatives: No elevator and reception is on the first floor, so all luggage has to be carried up the stairs. Overall: The hotel is basic so don't expect anything beyond this. It is reasonable for the price paid. Breakfast was included - it includes toast, cereal and fruit only but is adequate.

The place is not well maintained at all. The so called terrace is actually a garbage dump ! We booked two rooms and one with broken air conditioner on a very hot day. Many rooms have to share bathrooms with other guests. There is a sex store right next to the hotel entrance. There were people sleeping on the street. A thing to consider if you travel with children. The entrance is on a pedestrian only street section. No car can park close to the hotel entrance. There is no elevator in the hotel, either. So be prepared to drag your luggage. There is no protein with breakfast. The only good experience we had was the receptionist who was very nice and helpful.
