HI Paris Gare de l’Est

What is your Priority Club status? Diamond

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? It was fine.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked the cheapest room and received an upgrade to a premium room.

How are the rooms? Bit quirky. Lots of moulded plastic EVERYWHERE, including the headboard, bathroom tiles and lampshades. The building is lovely. 19th century apparently. The bar had stained glass windows. My room was on the 7th floor and had three sections, each with a window. One section was the bedroom, one section was the bathroom and the middle section had an easy chair, the coffee station plus the wardrobe and minibar. Bathroom was shower only. Wardrobe included slippers and bathrobe. There was also a complimentary minibar stocked with soft drinks and a snack.

How is the exec. lounge? None

What was good and what was bad? Handy for transport links. Diamond free breakfast was OK, lots of choice.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? I would return if it was cheap again. This hotel was the cheapest in the central area for the night I stayed. It is close to the Eurostar terminal.
