Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Elixir

Great locatione, could be more clean…but the balcony is soooo Paris

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. It was a great location - easy to walk to metro station and several sites. Very clean hotel and friendly staff.

Horrible Stay – Avoid This Place! I had an awful experience at this hotel. The bathroom had visible mold, and the room was covered in dust—clearly not cleaned properly. The entire place smelled terrible, like mildew and old smoke. On top of that, there was no proper standing shower, just a poorly designed setup that made it almost impossible to shower comfortably. Definitely not worth the money. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was very impressed upon arrival with service, cleanliness and room amenities. There were four people in our family and I was happy to have a pretty cool convertible couch to bunk bed option available. However, after my first night I woke up to bed bugs! My amazing trip to Paris was ruined after being bitten all over my body. That same morning I brought a bed bug down to reception and she did not seem very surprised. She said she would do her best to get us into a new room. Upon arrival after exploring for the day we were provided with a new room. We had to pack all our things and we were placed in a smaller room and a pull out couch for the kids. Sleepless nights for me from itching and constantly checking for bed bugs for the rest of our stay. New room had a lot of mold in the bathroom and we could not adjust the heat, so we were sweating every night. Our room door handle constantly fell off on the outer side every time we pulled to close! Very disappointed with this property. Wouldn’t recommend. Looks were very deceiving. Hoping I don’t bring any bedbugs home! Also- worth mentioning that we were placed right below our old room and it was definitely made available to others upon our switch. So horrible! Now to return home to wash/throw away personal items and embarrassed on Easter weekend covered in bites. I need a full refund for this horrible experience for my family.

Overall this is a great hotel for the price. Hotels in Paris are very expensive, so if you’re looking for a decent and affordable option, I would recommend this hotel. It’s nothing fancy and very small, but it’s in a great location, just steps away from the Louvre and the seine. Some cons: The bathroom had stuff all over the walls and the soap they provide inside of the shower was empty. The door to the bathroom and the glass window in the shower is pretty much see through and there’s no lock, so whoever is sitting in the room while you’re showering can see you through the glass. Also, they turned off the ac in the main lobby, which then turned off the ac to the whole building. The wifi is also very bad. All in all it’s a great hotel, just don’t expect luxury.

The room was not what was expected when I booked for a family of 4, but we made it work. The room was outdated and some of the furniture was broken. The general location was ok, but there was a homeless man who slept in the doorway across the street.

If you are an American looking for a big clean room, this is not the hotel. The “double delux room” was barely able to fit two people and luggage. The floor was dirty, and instead of a queen bed it was two twins pushed together. Then room was dark and a bit outdated and dirty. There was someone’s left breast milk bag in the fridge. However, the staff was very friendly and the location was perfect!!!

The major issue was no shower curtains in this hotel. It was just the tub. No protection. So getting a shower is a nightmare. When asked from the manager he said it’s the design. However, if you want to have a shower, do not book this hotel. Bathrooms were in bad condition due to this issue. Water all over the floor if you even attempt to take a bath or shower. Friendly staff, great location for major attractions and food choices.

Unfriendly staff

This hotel was phenomenal! The hotel is extremely walkable to several attractions. There are great cafés nearby. Walkable to metro- like 2min walk! Fantastic!! The room was perfect for a family of four - bunkbeds for the kids and our bed was super comfortable. We loved our experience and would absolutely stay again.

Great property w lovely hosts, proximity to public transport and dining option was great.

Great little Hotel which was very central to many places we were wanting to visit.

Great location and walkable to most all areas. The staff is friendly and manager very responsive to issues. They offer brrakfast on site- seperate cost. Bottled water was not complimentary. It would be bestif they offeredthattodaily to guests- Free! You must understand, that the bedrooms and bathrooms are VERY small. Typical European/ NY hotel in rhat way. Bottled wateris

Situation idéale pour une visite touristique: proche du métro, des commerces, lieux touristiques et restaurants. Notre chambre est de bonne taille avec une jolie décoration. Néanmoins, l insonorisation laisse vraiment à désirer, la literie est terriblement ferme voire dure. La présence de peignoirs est un plus mais leur propreté laisse à désirer et il y une odeur de conduites dans la salle de bain qui n ‘est pas vraiment agréable.

The staff were very nice and let us check in early, and had even upgraded our room for us. The bed is very comfortable, it is nice and clean in the rooms. It’s a very convenient location, very walkable to most popular attractions and also very close to transit stations if needed. We would stay again!

Very convenient.

A nice hotel - but sadly let down by the front desk. Miserable, curt and rude. It’s a shame because it’s actually a nice hotel in a good location.

Hotel Elixir is ideal for exploring Paris and Its location is excellent for traveling from the airport : it literally takes 2 minutes to reach the hotel from the RER B, exit 14. The staff is also very kind, giving us the room much earlier than check-in time if the room is available. That is a real bonus after traveling all night. The room is small like they all are in Paris but nicely put together. I would go back there anytime.

I really don’t understand the positive reviews for this hotel.. one of the worst hotels I’ve been to at this price point. We got so catfished by the hotel’s photos! Where to start… - This was the MOST uncomfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever experienced. Topped with extremely cheap, itchy bedding. Barely slept. - The construction right outside the doors starts at 7:30AM (we were not made aware by staff) - Rooms are not cleaned very well (dust all over under the furniture, children’s stickers found on the mattress under the sheets when we were checking for bed bugs) - The shower is simply a handle and there is no shower door. Water gets everywhere. The tub drains SO slowly that it almost fully filled up by the time one of us had showered. The tiles in the shower looked like they were done by an amateur. - You hear every conversation of the guests in the rooms beside you, and every footstep of the guests above you The only redeeming quality of this hotel is its location, but I would recommend staying elsewhere and taking the metro. I could only recommend this hotel in good conscience if it was 1/3 of the price we paid. I actually got sad whenever we had to go back for the night

We enjoyed our stay and all the amenities. The only thing negative part was our room did not have a shower, just a bath with the shower hose and no holder which made it very hard to shower.
