Tamaris - Paris, France 

"Tamaris Hotel is alright"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Tamaris Hotel is alright. The staff, for the most part, is friendly, and can speak some English. There is an elevator (lift), even though it’s a little scary, but incredibly handy if you’re staying on the 5th or 6th floor. The location is close to the metro stop, and it’s in a quiet(ish) area. The room was clean. Gerald, Minsk

Just basic value for money accommodation, no frills.

Very friendly and competent staff. The room was very neat - and tiny, but that was to be expected, I've seen worse in Paris. The bathroom fixtures were new. And the hotel is REALLY very near the Metro, something they all say but is not always true. All in all a very pleasant experience, and I will be looking forward to coming back.

We had a great week in Paris. Tamaris was fine and we enjoyed our stay. Will probably shop around for a different hotel the next time we go. PROS: 1. Closest metro station: Porte de Vincennes. About a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The station is on line 1 which is great for sightseeing. 2. Many nice restaurants relatively close to the hotel. Tried a few of them (sushi, couscous, pizza) and were very happy. Also 2-3 patisseries close by. 3. Staff is friendly and helpful. CONS: 1. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything(!) going on next door. 2. The beds where only tidied. The bedding was not changed during our stay (6 nights). 3. We only got 2 really small shampoo containers for the duration of our stay. They were never replaced so we had to buy our own. For some reason they also removed our bar of soap the second day. Maybe we looked too clean. :) 4. Breakfast was ridiculously expensive so we never tried it. 5. Photos lie a little. Rooms are pretty small.

Small room and very very small bathroom necessitating to be "flexible" before entering the shower
